다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explored the degree to which music educators are in agreement concerning the necessity of employing technology in Korean music education. The study also analyzed a cross-section of Korean music educators, seeking to determine their knowledge and experience of technology and/or their use of technology in music classes, (employing technology) given at all levels of education between kindergarten and college. This data was sorted by type of educational institution. The purpose of this study was to utilize quantitative and qualitative methods to explore five research questions. In this discussion, two of the research questions will be considered: 1) determination of educator opinion regarding the necessity of incorporating technology into Korean music education and 2) the technical knowledge and skill of Korean music educators when incorporating technology into Korean music education.
One half of the l000 members of the Korean Music Educators Society (KMES) were asked to participate by survey and interview in this study, which gathered informational data based on the five research questions.
A majority of KMES members are music educators, representing a wide range of levels, from kindergarten through college.
This complete range of education levels is helpful in assessing the extent to which technology is used at various stages by educators.
The major findings of the study, considered here, were as follows:
According to the result, almost all educators had opined that Korean music educators need to incorporate technology into the music education system at all levels, from kindergarten through college. More than fifty percent of the respondents possessed the technical knowledge and experience to incorporate technology into their music class. Therefore, technology has already experienced a significant growth of utilization in Korean Music education, at all levels from kindergarten through college. The main issue for Korean music educators and students is in planning the correct methodologies when incorporating new high-tech installations or utilizing existing technologies in Korean music curricula, system-wide.
It is hoped that this study may help provide basic research data to the researcher who feels a need to study the incorporation of technology into music curricula. Moreover, it is hoped that additional research on how to incorporate technology into Korean music education, for each different level, shall be properly and adequately accomplished.
