Music Teaching Department, Jilin No. 26 Middle School, Jilin 132107, China
| Abstract: | With the popularization of STEAM education worldwide, how to effectively integrate traditional cultural elements into primary school music curriculum, promote students' cultural identity and innovation ability, has become an important issue in the current education field. STEAM education, which is a comprehensive education model of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and practice to cultivate students' comprehensive qualities and problem-solving abilities. This study takes the STEAM education model as a framework to explore the inheritance and innovation path of integrating traditional cultural elements into primary school music education, aiming to enhance students' cultural identity and innovation ability. Through various research methods such as literature analysis, case studies, action research, and data analysis, this study conducted surveys and experiments on several primary schools to verify the effectiveness of the STEAM education model that integrates traditional cultural elements. Research has found that the integration of traditional cultural elements not only enriches the content of primary school music courses, but also stimulates students' interest and sense of identification with local culture. For example, by learning traditional musical instruments, singing folk songs, and participating in traditional festival music activities, students not only acquire music knowledge and skills, but also receive cultural influence unconsciously. At the same time, STEAM education emphasizes interdisciplinary integration and project-based learning, enabling students to apply science and technology, engineering design, and mathematical thinking in music learning, stimulating their creativity and innovation abilities. Integrating traditional cultural elements into STEAM education not only effectively enhances students' cultural identity and innovation ability, but also provides new ideas and methods for the reform of primary school music education. This study provides valuable reference for educational practitioners and lays a solid foundation for future educational reforms. |
