How to Improve Choral Teaching Efficiency? An Experimental Research of Structured Teaching Model in Primary Choral Education

Abstract

In recent years, various choral exhibition festivals and choral competitions have emerged, which is an effective way to promote the prosperity of choral teaching, but under the performance-oriented evaluation method, it will lead to too utilitarian choral teaching and weaken the educational significance of choral teaching itself. In choral education within primary schools, a successful stage performance is often considered the standard to assess the effectiveness of choral teaching. However, this outcome-oriented evaluation method may lead teachers to gradually prioritize performance as the ultimate goal of choral education, while disregarding the true improvement of students' abilities and characters. Consequently, teachers may excessively emphasize repetitive and mechanical rehearsals in order to achieve the best performance, which creates a paradox between performance and education. Performance-oriented choral teaching has various drawbacks, which speaks to the necessity for a teaching approach that reconciles this paradox and promotes the educational value of choral teaching. In this article, a structured choral teaching model was developed, we conducted an experimental study with two classes of students (N=96) from a school in central China to verify the nurturing effectiveness of structured instruction. The results of the study showed that structured teaching model takes a student-centered approach with the goal of enhancing student ability and character development, thereby balancing the relationship between performance and education.
