Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design music-centered integrated lessons based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). For this purpose, first, the characteristics of IB PYP were examined, and the scope and sequence, and learning contents on music subject of IB PYP were compared with those of Korea National Curriculum. Second, based on this analysis, the music-centered integrated lessons based on transdisciplinary themes were designed in a spiral curriculum. The conclusion of this study are summarized as follows. First, the main characteristic of IB PYP is to integrate subjects on transdisciplinary themes and to help students form their own knowledge through inquiry learning. Second, strands of music in IB PYP are ‘reacting’ and ‘creating’, and the overall expectation level, conceptual understanding, and learning outcomes for each strand are presented. It is worth noting that the IB PYP emphasized understanding of the key concepts of each subject. Third, based on the transdisciplinary themes of IB PYP, a music-centered integrated lesson plan that deepens spirally throughout all grades was devised, and the example of 12 lessons for 6 graders focusing on key concepts and inquiry questions is presented.
