다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was designed to understand the effects of musical element based appreciation activity on children`s musical skills and expressive movement ability. The main issues in this study are as follows; First, is there any difference in development of musical skills (such as, listening skills, rhythm expression, singing, instrument manipulation, musical originality) between the experiment group with musical element based appreciation activity and the comparison group with subjective music appreciation activity Second, is there any difference in development of expressive movement ability (such as, diversity of motions, orientation, timing, flow variation, expressivity) between the experiment group with musical element based appreciation activity and the comparison group with subjective music appreciation activity? 48 children with 5 years of age from K and S kindergarten in Tae-gu were included and divided into two groups, experiment group with 24 children and comparison group with 24 children. Musical skills were examined by 32 modified questions by Lee Young Hee(2004) extracted from 89 questions in Recording Skill Development in Music by Loten & Walley(1979). Expressive movement ability was measured according to Bae Hyun Suk`s method based on Laben`s theory(1975) modified by Kim Eun Sim, Ju Mi Jeong, Kim Mi Jung. Musical element based appreciation activity was performed for the experiment group and subjective music appreciation activity for the comparison group for 17 weeks. Inspector training, pre-measure, preliminary exam, and musical element based appreciation activity, and post-measure were taken twice a week for 13 weeks sequentially. Mean and standard deviation was calculated. ANCOVA`s test with musical skills and expressive movement ability as subcomponents was used to compare both groups. Results are as follows. Musical skill development, including listening, rhythm expression, and musical originality as subcomponents was improved with the experiment group. Second, expressive movement ability development was improved with the experiment group. In conclusion, musical element based appreciation activity is an effective method to improve musical skills and expressive movement ability, and can be applied directly to education fields.
