ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the teachers` PCK(pedagogical content knowledge) using quality study methods for Jajinmorijungton and to suggest alternative layouts and content in an effort to structure a far superior educational curriculum than the recently published curriculum. Results from the interviews showed that Elementary School Teachers had very little knowledge of the new terms introduced from the latest educational curriculum. Not only were the abilities of the interviewed teachers lacking in knowledge of the curriculum`s content, but their general teaching approaches and learning methodology was substandard. The reflection of the teacher`s PCK from this study, suggests that the musical curriculum and music textbook should be simplified in an effort help Elementary School Teachers understand the material and in turn instruct their students. Moreover, the curriculum`s vocabulary should be considered carefully. In addition to our updated simplified curriculum for the teachers, the writer asserts that the teachers need to be better trained in order to utilize the curriculum or the course books. The writer`s recommendation is to develop an easily accessible training program that would be available through the internet. Lessons offered on this website would be created by professionals and endorsed by scholars in the field of study.
