프로젝트 활동이 유아의 음정감과 리듬감 인지에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 = A Study of Young Children's Tonal and Rhythmic Cognition

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cognitive process of tonal and rhythmic development in young children. In this study, twenty nine 4 and 5 year old children in a kindergarten as an experimental group were trained not only in tempo and dynamic for rhythmic cognition but also in tone color, scale and height for tonal cognition during the first half year through project activities. They were disciplined on the combined musical concepts through the project activities during the second half-year. Twenty nine 4 and 5 year old children in the same kindergarten as the control group participated in regular kindergarten classes. Both groups were given a pretest and a posttest to check their musical development. Data were statistically analyzed. The results revealed higher scores for the experimental group in rhythmic cognition than the control group. But there was no significant difference in tonal development scores between the two groups. These findings imply that rhythmic cognition is more strongly developed than tonal cognition in kindergarten children.
