A Study on the Music-Based Ecological Environment Convergence Class Using Children's Songs: Focusing on Elementary School Learners

The purpose of this study is to devise a music-based ecological environment convergence class plan using children's songs. As the global environment is rapidly destroyed, the world is paying a lot of attention to ecological environment education. However, if it is carried out within the music subject, it is necessary to study this in that 1) the nature of the subject content and whether both categories of ecological environment education can be effectively dealt with, and 2) the rather heavy concerns of preparing sanctions suitable for ecological environment education and establishing teaching and learning method design return to the responsibility of instructors. Therefore, this study prepared an effective teaching and learning plan for elementary school learners based on hermeneutic research methodology, focusing on the aspects of 'convergence education' and 'selection of appropriate sanctions and Utilizing'. To this end, based on the music-based ecological environment teaching and learning model (Lee, 2024), a systematic and colorful teaching plan was proposed by applying the ecological environmental fluctuations previously developed for this study. The conclusion of the study is as follows. First of all, we developed this study ‘ A Study Model for Music-Based Ecological Convergence Education’ In order to conduct more effective classes using Environment Convergence Education, it is necessary to understand the meaning and characteristics of each step of the model and prepare teaching and learning methods and materials that can be applied immediately to one's music class after sufficient review. Second, appropriate children’s songs are indispensable for music-based convergence classes in the ecological environment. Third, it is possible to raise awareness about protecting and maintaining the global environment through music-based convergence classes in the ecological environment. It may be a good idea to increase the longing for natural sounds through learning activities related to soundscape. Forth, in music-based ecological environment education, it is possible to teach and learn by using all elements of music utilized in all forms. Fourth, while conducting music-based environmental convergence classes, the natural characteristics of the music subject should not be compromised. Finally, through music-based ecological environment education, not only vocational information related to music but also vocational information related to the ecologic l environment can be provided.
