國際音樂教育的新趨勢：走向跨領域統整性課程的新方向

Trends in International Music Education: Embracing Cross-Curricular Integration in Music Education

跨領域統整課程的主要目的是打破學科的界限，強調共同的概念，並跨越不同領域，以使學習與學習者的生活經驗建立深刻的聯繫和意義。在108課綱倡導跨領域教學中，音樂教育面臨一個重要問題，即音樂課程如何「跨」出原本熟悉的音樂領域，仍能保持音樂教育的核心價值？為了回應音樂教育者對跨領域課程的擔憂，本文回顧了過去50年來國際音樂教育哲學思想的演變。從B. Reimer的美感論、D. Elliott的實踐論，到新角度詮釋J. Dewey民主與教育學說的民主論，這些哲學觀點幫助我們理解當前音樂教育正在逐漸走向跨領域統整性課程的國際趨勢，為臺灣音樂教育變革提供參考。

The primary aim of cross-curricular approach is to remove the boundary of traditional academic subjects, emphasizing shared concepts and spanning across diverse fields to establish profound connections and meaning. This approach strives to create a deep alignment between learning and students’ life experiences. However, music educators may confront a crucial issue: How music curriculum can “cross” beyond its familiar musical domain while still preserving the core values of music education? To address educators’ concerns about cross-curricular teaching in music, this article reviews the evolution of music education philosophy over the past 50 years. From Bennett Reimer’s aesthetics theory, David Elliott’s praxialism theory, to the reinterpretation of John Dewey’s democratic theory from a new perspective, these philosophical viewpoints help us understand the current international trend in music education, which is gradually moving towards cross-curricula approach. They also provide valuable insights for the reform of music education in Taiwan.
