This study is to research level of music self-perception of upper grade of elementary school and difference in music self-perception depending on music experience in school. Diagnose music self-perception through this research and want to provide implications in music education of school helping to form music self-perception of students positively.
Music self-perception effects on element to determine future musical behavior and attitude as a subordinate component of self-perception and since it is closely related to aim achievement of music study to improve life quality, enjoyment of music, and a way of life, consideration and research would be necessary. However, because awareness of teacher toward music self-perception in current education field and research targeted to schoolchild are inadequate, the researcher progress the study selecting it as a title.
Roughly three kinds of research problems were set in this study. First is the level of music self-perception of upper grade of elementary school, second is difference of music self-perception depending on individual background of music, and third is difference of music self-perception depending on music experience in school.
The results of study according to research problems were as follow.
First, music self-perception of upper grade of elementary school was higher than that of targeted students in middle and high school, and it was shown that they realized positively toward their musical ability and attitude. Second, music self-perception of female students showed higher than male students, and it was shown higher as they like music usually. Also, students who have experience of private education in music showed higher music self-perception than students who do not have one, and longer private education in music showed higher music self-perception. The difference of music self-perception according to individual musical background like sex, preference, and private education was statistically correlative. Third, group who likes instrument most and is confident showed highest music self-perception, also, group who is praised frequently from teacher and peer group showed higher music self-perception. Difference of music self-perception depending on musical experiences like preferred activity, confident activity, and praise from teacher and peer group is statistically correlative. Meanwhile, higher music self-perception was shown in group who learned music from music teacher in exclusive charge rather than home room teacher and has experience of music relates activity; however, these result was not statistically correlative.
Research result of this study would be expectably used as basis data of consideration toward music self-perception of future upper grade of elementary school and formation of positive music self-perception.
