ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of integrated arts activities based on created Korean children’s songs on young children s interest in Korean music and musical creativity. For this purpose, 31 five-year-old children from two daycare centers located in W city were classified into the experimental group and the comparison group. Integrated arts activities based on created Korean children’s songs were applied for the experimental group. In the results, the mean of the experimental group for interest in Korean music and musical creativity was statistically significantly higher than that of the comparison group. The results of this study suggest that integrated arts activities based on created Korean children’s songs can be applied to the early childhood education field as an effective teaching-learning method that can increase young children s interest in Korean music and promote their musical creativity.
