小学校音楽鑑賞教育におけるプラスティック・アニメの可能性

摘要

The purpose of the present paper is to examine whether or not plastique animee could be effective in promoting children's initiative in music appreciation and also differences in instructional approach would affect contents learned by children in actual classroom settings. It was found that communication, creativity, cooperation, and a sense of achievement were heightened in Class A children who received instructions to focus on imagery and body movement conjured from a musical piece. On the other hand, abilities to analyze music and grasp score reading were marked in Class B children who received instructions to pay attention to the details and components of the same musical piece. These findings suggest that learning through plastique animee is effective in music education, both education-by-music as well as education-for-music. It is thus hoped that application of plastique animee will contribute to the development of music education in elementary schools.%スイスの作曲家であり，音楽教育家，E．J＝ダルクローズ（1865－1950）が提唱したリトミック教育は，それまでの技術，知識偏重の音楽教育から，精神と身体の調和させることを目指し，そのなかだちを“動き”に見出した新しい音楽教育法として生まれた。
