ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the collaborative creative process within the group by designing and executing music creation activities using digital media. Qualitative data such as class observation videos, website data, interviews, reflection essays, mind maps, and worksheets were collected from 50 fifth graders in elementary school, and qualitative data analysis was conducted through two-stage coding process. As a result of the study, 'integration' and 'selection' were found as strategies for the cooperation process within the group. Both 'integration' and 'selection' were rules and strategies agreed upon by members within the team for collaborative creation. In addition, discussions regarding changes in students' 'confidence' due to 'emotional support' as a factor affected students' attitudes in the creative process in the group. Through this study, the significance of collaborative music creation activities in the field of public elementary education and the strategy of practical music creation classes in post COVID-19 era were presented.
