The Analysis Outcomes of Songs and Activities in the Teacher's Book of 3rd Grade Music Course
The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of learning outcomes with the songs and activities included in the third grade music course. This study employed the qualitative method of document analysis, and reviewed the third grade music course Teacher's Book, which has been used since the 2013 14 academic year. 'Listening, singing, and playing' 'musical perception and exposition' 'musical creativity' and 'musical culture' are included in the Primary School Music Course Teaching Programme. The Teacher's Book lists 13 main learning outcome themes and 23 learning outcomes, and 20 songs to be used for the realization of these outcomes. Of this data, 'l istening, singing, playing' 'musical percepti on' and 'musical creativity' as learning domains, 5 main outcome themes, 8 outcomes and 7 songs to be used for the corresponding outcomes were selected via purposive sampling. This study focuses only on the above mentioned learning domains, outcomes and songs. The qualitative data of the Teacher's Book is analysed and discussed using the descriptive analysis approach. The example activities in the Teacher's Book are reviewed under the themes of outcome, notion, activity, song and evaluation. The result of the study suggests that it is difficult to teach the students the expected notions and musical behaviour using the activities and songs included in the Teacher's Book.
