초록

Contemporary character education has expanded to competencies, which is a critical issue in 21st century education, expanding beyond the personal growth. Thus, this study aimed to examine the attributes of character factors in high school music appreciation and criticism textbooks from the viewpoint of competencies. All five music appreciation and criticism textbooks based on the 2015 revised national curriculum were analyzed in four categories: musical genre, curriculum competencies and achievement standards in 2015 revised curriculum, and character competencies. The results confirmed the following positive potential directions in the development of character competencies in music education. First, the content of music appreciation and criticism textbooks serve to develop multi-faceted individual character competencies such as individual problem-solving abilities, positive attitudes, self-regulation abilities, and the self-reflection abilities of learners. Second, music appreciation and criticism textbooks also include character competencies at the relationship level. Third, learning activities leading to the development of character competencies in the textbooks were remarkably cognitive, both at the individual and relationship levels. Fourth, the achievement standards of the national curriculum were found to significantly influence the features of the character competencies contained in music appreciation and criticism textbooks. Implications for music education such as the necessity of considering character competencies in music subjects at various stages of curriculum development were suggested. Hence, the significance of the mastery of fundamental musical concepts was highlighted as a prerequisite for nurturing character competencies. Further, lesson plans deliberating complex and multifaceted attributes of character competencies as well as learner-centered education were emphasized.
