A Study on the Method of Korean Traditional Music Education Using a Metaverse - Focusing on UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity -

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an exhibition planning program that can be applied to the classroom under the theme of “Our Music of UNESCO” using a metaverse. In order to strengthen digital capabilities based on future-oriented thinking, one of the topics in the current education world, a class guidance plan using the metaverse space was constructed. The program design was classified into three stages: knowledge·understanding, processf·unction, value, and attitude, and set learning goals for each stage and consisted of a total of four sessions. In the first session, encouraged students to form a team and develop problem-solving skills by exploring the intangible cultural heritage of Korea based on autonomous discussions. In the second session, they studied and understood the concept of metaverse before planning an exhibition as their interest was stimulated by space-perceptive experiences in a virtual world for effective learning. In the third session, they worked together with their teammates to plan and complete an exhibition, reinforcing their community competence and experiencing connections between Korean traditional music and future technologies. In the last fourth session, they watched and evaluated exhibitions completed by their classmates and explored the transmission directions of Korean traditional music in a future society by equipping themselves with professionalism about topics through self-reflection. Comprised of four classes, this metaverse-based exhibition planning program for Korean traditional music will help students develop an ability to utilize Korean traditional music with creative future technologies. The present study will hopefully serve as learning materials to bring up future talents and inspire various research on Korean traditional music with future technologies.
