As a result of the analysis, less than 9 papers were published each year with subjects focused on middle and high school students. There were two purposes in utilizing film music: the understanding of pre-existing musical works (69.44%) and the understanding of film music (30.56%). The films used were many musical films (47.22%) and some general feature films (11.56%). As for the musical activity, theoretical lecture with appreciation (63.89%) and music creation (33.33%) were presented. Only 14 papers applied pedagogical theories and teaching methods. 7 papers utilized music and video editing programs. Therefore, it is important to increase educational interest in film music itself, and it was suggested to educate the function and role of film music and develop specific and systematic music classes centered on student-led activities.
