音楽科鑑賞授業における音楽的思考にみられる反省の機能

抄録

  The purpose of this study is to clarify the function of reflection as observed in musical thinking in a music appreciation classes.

  The research method used was the practical method. First, I sorted and chose the key words of this research : “musical thinking” and “reflection.” The position of this paper is to study children through self-directed interactions on which they act and are acted upon by their environment within the context of learning activities. Thus, I have collated findings from previous studies and literature with similar positions. The concept of reflection is based on J. Dewey's theory of education. Then, I envisaged and implemented a music appreciation class that allowed children to employ musical thinking and engage in reflection. Finally, I analyzed the lesson record from the perspective of how reflection was performed and how it functioned.

  To conclude, the functions of reflection that are seen in musical thinking in music appreciation classes are summarized below :

  (1) By engaging in reflection, the subject has a new viewpoint for listening to music based on the problem that has been set.

  (2) By engaging in reflection, the subject perceives new elements of music that have not been perceived before.

  (3) By engaging in reflection, the subject feels new characteristics of music and gains a new impression of it, perhaps break down the impressions that they already have.

  (4) By engaging in reflection, the subject recognizes the connection between perception and sensation.
