中学校音楽科授業での創作表現における生徒による素材の選択行為の機能

抄録

  The purpose of this study is to determine, in a junior high school music composition class, the function of the material selection by students on creative composition. The process of students' creative composition via the interaction between the inner world and the outer world is analyzed in terms of the material selection.

  Using Dewey's Art as Experience as the basis of this research methodology, we first examine the selection of materials for expression. Next, based on the perspectives obtained from the literature study, we conduct a music composition class at a junior high school, and analyze the process of creative expression through the interaction between the inner world and the outer world from the material selection. Finally, the function of the material selection by the students in the creative composition is discussed.

  In this study, relying on Dewey, we define the materials of expression as outer material, consisting of materials such as marble and paint, which belong to the external world, and inner material, consisting of images, observations, memories, and feelings, which belong to the inner world. The records of classroom practice were then analyzed from the perspective of how the outer material and inner material are selected in creative expression.

  The results of the analysis of the functions of the material selection on creative composition led to the following conclusions. First, it serves as a means to solve the problems that need to be solved in order to carry out the music composition process. Second, it connects the inner material and the outer material by eliciting the inner material of the student.
