Study on the Hierarchization of Teaching and Learning Contents of Jeongga

Abstract

It is well known that the content should be hierarchically organized according to school level and grade group in education. Therefore, this study aims to hierarchize teaching and learning contents for jeongga--including gagok, gasa, and sijo--a representative vocal genre of gugak. To this end, it analyzes the contents of the jeongga-related curriculum and the related contents of elementary, middle, and high school textbooks of the 2015 revision curriculum. As a result, sijo and gagok in the music curriculum and textbooks are established to some extent while there is little content on gasa and thus it requires to develop music pieces for its education and revitalize it. In addition, most jeongga pieces are not presented in a systematic way for teaching and learning to suit the school level; above all, the same pieces of sijo and gagok tend to be presented repeatedly regardless of school level. Based on this analysis, five factors, such as 'genre and music piece', 'activity area', 'score and music length', 'score form', and 'learning activity', are selected as elements and considerations necessary for hierarchical research. According to these factors, a plan should be sought to hierarchize teaching and learning contents according to school level and grade group. I believe that such discussion is necessary at the time of the revision of the current music curriculum and textbooks, and I hope that the discussion on the hierarchization of various gugak genres as well as the jeongga will continue.
