Leading about “Upbringing of Child’s Expression Ability” in the Class of Elementary Music Method of Education ─ Utilizing the Drama Education Method ─

Abstract

音楽科の授業において子どもが表現領域の学習に取り組む際，その表現の基になる「思いや意図」を明確にもつことは，子どもが音楽表現について創意工夫する場面や，知覚・感受をしながら表現の技能を習得していく場面での拠り所をもつことになり，子どもが主体的に学習するための大切な要因と捉えられる。そこで，本研究では表現の原理に基づく音楽表現の学習活動において，子どもが「思いや意図」すなわち自分が伝えたいと思うイメージや心情をもてるようになる指導，そしてその「思いや意図」を歌や楽器の演奏で伝えようと試行錯誤する際の手がかりにするようになる指導について，初等音楽科教育法でのドラマ教育の手法の活用を提案することにした。The purpose of this study is to propose how to utilize the “drama education method” in the class of “elementary music course method of education” for upbringing of child’s expression ability. When children learn singing and playing the instrument in music class, it is necessary to have “Imagination and Thinking” aim for musical expression. And it is important for that imagination to be related to child’s experience in actual life. So I considered the applicability about the technique of the drama education method to the music class. Proposed techniques of the drama education method utilized in the class of “elementary music course method of education” are as follows. （1） Method for children to learn in a class “Teacher in role” （by Dorothy Heathcote） For teacher makes the atmosphere to set the environment that a child can imagines through the relation with experience. “Given Circumstances” （by Konstantin Stanislavski） For teacher makes the environment that a child can think about expression through the relation with experience. （2）Method for teacher to learn utilizing the drama education method “Gibberish” For teacher learn non-verbal expression ability in communication with children
