The construction of school music curriculum according to 2544 B.E. basic education curriculum of school groups under the education office's, Bangkok metropolitan administration
Abstract:
This research was to investigate the preparation of school curriculums (music)
based on the Basic Education Curriculum B.E. 2544 (2001) among the music teachers
under supervision of the BMA (Bangkok Metropolitan Administration), Office of
Education, Bangkok. Data were investigated from response to a questionnaire given to
100 music teachers in the Art Content Group (music) in 50 official areas, 2 schools
from each area, and 1 music teacher from each school in the academic year 2005.
It was found that : With the procedures of preparing curriculums, the music
teachers adequately received documents and acquired scholarly knowledge. There
were analyses of information and preparation of curriculums in every procedure. Most
teachers appropriately formulate the curriculum to meet the locality / community
needs because they see the importance of curriculum preparation. Most teachers
effectively learned musical knowledge and skills. They are concerned that the
curriculum advisor should have expertise in the musical field, which will make them
more confident in curriculum preparation.
In regard to problems and limitations of the curriculum preparation, teachers
have problems in middle level because they were not effectively trained. Most
problems met were with the school committee, community and guardians who were
unlikely to cooperate or least participate. Also, experts advising in curriculum
preparation were not knowledgeable in music. This made them unconfident whether
curriculums were effective.
Factors facilitating the curriculum preparation were budget, music advisor
support from superiors, and cooperation of the locality / community, which required
cooperation in every aspect. The feedback of the construction of school music
curriculum was positive. Students successfully achieved the objective, acquired
cognition and followed the obligations of the music teacher precisely by the
curriculum goals.
