An EduTech-Based Instructional Strategy for Music Cultural Heritage Education

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose teaching strategies based on various edutech that can be applied to music cultural heritage education. To achieve this, we examined the music cultural heritage included in music textbooks and developed a curriculum plan for different class levels and lessons. We designed a total of 6 lessons for elementary school students in grades 5 and 6, actively incorporating the use of educational technology tools in each lesson. Based on the content structure and achievement criteria outlined in the curriculum, we established four stages: Developing an Interest in Music Cultural Heritage, Researching, Expressing, and Presenting and Sharing. In the ‘Developing an Interest’ stage, real-time opinion gathering tools and quiz-based edutech tools were employed to stimulate motivation. During the ‘Researching’ stage, applications were used to enable students to collect accurate and diverse information. For the ‘Expressing’ stage, we actively utilized book creators to facilitate cooperative learning. Lastly, in the ‘Presenting and Sharing’ stage, we recommended the use of edutech tools that allow real-time sharing of thoughts and feelings through multiple connections. Based on these stages, we confirmed the feasibility of implementing music cultural heritage education with the application of educational technology. We hope that this research will serve as a helpful resource for designing music cultural heritage lessons and inspire further exploration of diverse teaching methods.
