A Study of Systemazation of the Problem-solving Activity in Music Learning : Effects of "reflection", "subject institution" and "information processing" activity

Abstract

This study aims at investigating what effect "reflection", "subject institution" and "information processing" activity will produce on systemization of the problem-solving activity in music learning. The objects are group activity in the third grade students of the junior high school. The results indicate the following facts; 1) "Reflection" activity makes the problem-solving activity promote, concentrating of the group members' consciousness and making the next subject clear. 2) The more concrete the contents of "reflection" activity are, the more promotive is the problem-solving activity. 3) As the contents of "subject institution" connect directly with those of "reflection", their being concrete is the condition to promote the problem-solving activity. 4) "Information processing" activity makes the problem-solving activity promote, giving students a new point of view and thinking and letting them try and error to answer the information (question).
