Summary: | 碩士 === 國立台北師範學院 === 國民教育研究所 === 91 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Lessons of Playing-game Recorder (LPR) on the third-grade and the fourth-grade students’ recorder learning interest, recorder performance, and music achievement.
The subjects, including two fourth-grade classes and two third-grade classes, were totally 135 students. In each grade, one class was set to be an experiment group to receive the LPR, and the other was set to a control group to receive the lesson of general recorder. Prior to treatment, the recorder interest of each subject was assessed using researcher-designed Recorder Learning Interest Profile (RLIP). During the 8 days treatment period, the subjects received 40 minutes of general music instruction focusing on developing music and soprano recorder performance skills. To determine the effects of instructional treatment, the RLIP, Recorder Performance Test (RPT), and Music Achievement Test (MAT) were administered following the 8 days treatment. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, t-tests, F-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, a 2(lessons) x 2(grade) x 2(gender) multivariate, and Scheffe analysis statistical procedures.
The results indicated that(1)regarding the recorder performance, the experiment group significantly excelled the control group; and the fourth-grade subjects significantly excelled the third-grade ones; between the lessons of recorder and the grade there exists a significant interaction; (2) regarding the music achievement is concerned, the experiment group significantly excelled the control group; the fourth-grade subjects significantly excelled the third-grade ones; there was no significant interaction among the lessons of recorder, grade and gender;(3)regarding the change of the recorder interest, no significant difference between the experiment group and the control group was found; the fourth-grade subjects and the third-grade ones were not significantly different; there was no significant interaction among the lessons of recorder, grade and gender.
According to the study results, the researcher recommended that the music educator in Taiwan should be encouraged to develop the teaching materials of recorder lessons and the elementary school’s music curriculum.
