Abstract

This study was conducted to derive issues surrounding the 2015 revised music curriculum in Korea and propose a future-oriented music curriculum revision direction that can solve them. Using the content analysis and meta-analysis method, studies related to music curriculum in Korea and abroad were analyzed. According to the results of content analysis, issues and improvement directions in terms of the curriculum content and document system were suggested. First, in terms of the content of the curriculum, the main matters were derived with a focus on core competencies and subject competencies, goal setting, content system composition, teaching and learning and evaluation. Second, in the form of curriculum documents, major issues were reviewed with a focus on the linkage of documents, the linkage of competencies and contents, and the concreteness of the system. As a result of the analysis, the main issues were as follows: ambiguity in the role of competency, lack of musical characteristics, lack of thinking base, lack of practicality, and lack of school presence. In conclusion, improvement directions were suggested to further enhance the competencies of music subject, restructuring the area of music content, supplementing digital teaching and learning, and increasing the readability of documents.
