A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EARLY YOUNG CHILDREN'S SINGING ABILITY BETWEEN 25 YEARS AGO AND PRESENT

本研究与25年前和现在的幼儿歌唱能力和音乐环境进行了比较。在同一所幼儿园，进行了与25年前相同的歌唱能力测试和试卷调查。结果发现：(1)《我有一只小羊羔》中25岁幼儿的无伴唱评分虽无显著差异，但仍好于现在。(2)25岁前上音乐课的幼儿占35.7%，目前为40.0%。(3)25岁幼儿上音乐课的无伴唱评分为3.36，未上音乐课的幼儿无伴唱评分为3.84。目前，幼儿上音乐课的无伴唱评分为3.97，未上音乐课的无伴唱评分为3.48。在25年前，婴儿没有上音乐课的无伴唱评分是很高的分数。这是因为当时的幼儿园教育通过有关音乐的活动提高了幼儿的歌唱能力。
