A Comparative Study on Interdisciplimary Curriculum of music education in Japan, the United States, and the Peoples' Republic of Chinan.

本研究的主要目的是比较日本、美国和中华人民共和国的跨学科音乐教育。为了达到这一目的，我们调查了以下研究问题：1。无学科课程与：(a)日本教育体系的历史背景有何关系？(b)面向儿童和教师的跨学科艺术示范项目，以及美国艺术教育国家标准。从那时起，《语文课程》对中国音乐教育的影响有多大？本研究的结果得出以下结论：1)在日本的学校课程中，Sougouteki gususyu倾向于跨学科和综合课程；2)美国的每个艺术课程都与1994年的“国家艺术教育标准”密切相关；3)它不仅强调艺术教育，而且强调理解音乐，其他艺术以及艺术之外的学科之间的关系。4)音乐教育的目的与日本和中国相似。然而，美国音乐教育的目的是：在这个迅速变化的多媒体时代，艺术是至关重要的。它们促进和鼓励不同观点的交流，反映和塑造文化。随着技术的变化，艺术的工具和材料也在变化。学生们准备通过视觉艺术，音乐，戏剧和舞蹈在一个充满活力的世界中有效地互动，充满快乐，自信和成就感。4)舞蹈和音乐的关系在日本很弱，但中国和美国强调舞蹈是艺术项目的一部分。
