小学校音楽科の学力に関する研究（１）─ 音符，休符，記号等の理解を中心として ─

Abstract

In Japan, the purposes and contents of music education are ambiguous than in many developed countries such as England and Germany where GCSE and Abitur examinations are conducted respectively.In this article, we discussed on the academic ability of music education at elementary schools of Japan, especially from the viewpoint of understanding of the notes, the rests, and the musicsigns. 336 fresh students of 4 junior high schools were investigated, and the following results were obtained. 1. The correct answer rates of bar line, ending line, and tempo signature were very low. 2. The correct answer rates of notes, rests, and dynamics signature were relatively high. 3. The correct answer rates of students who had received only music education of elementary schools are lower than those of students who had experienced more than that. 4. Almost all elementary schools in Japan had not been instructed systematically on the notes, the rests, and the music-signs.
