Develoment of Cremt Model by Using Chinese Folk Songs

Abstract

Nowadays, music education, especially primary school music education, has a profound impact on a person's intellectual development. Music plays an important position in the means of influencing young people's thoughts, and it is a powerful source of thought.  Without music education, there can be no necessary intellectual development. This study develops a teaching model for using Chinese folk songs in primary schools, employing the Design and Development Research (DDR) approach by Richey and Klein  (2007), modified by Saedah Siraj, Abdullah, and Rozkee  (2020). It involves three phases: needs analysis, design and development, and evaluation. The first phase used a questionnaire survey questionnaire collected from 267 teachers. The second phase was a combination of NGT and ISM, and the result of the research was a model for teaching creative music in primary schools. The third phase used the Fuzzy Delphi Method with 15 primary school music educators, confirming the model's usability. Overall, this research provides educators with a guide to improving students' creativity through Chinese folk songs.
