Description
Summary:The study focuses on a preschool teacher's perception and views about the usage and the integration of music in her daily teaching and learning process in her classroom at Prasekolah Seri Mawar, Institut Pendidikan Guru, Karapus Ipoh, Hulu Kinta, Perak. This qualitative research uses the case study method as the main aspect of the research. Three major questions were derived and the data were gained through interviews, observations, field notes and other related academic research. The questions were; (1) When is music used to help the preschool teacher in her daily teaching and learning process?; (2) How does the preschool teacher integrate and use music in her teaching and learning process? and; (3) What are the problems faced by preschool teacher when using and integrating music into classroom? An interview protocol with semi structured questions was constructed as the research instrument. Observations were recorded and written as field notes for analysis. Data results were coded and analyzed. The literature review provided historical and foundational information related to the case study. Based on the research, findings show that; (a) musical intelligence can be used to aid preschool children in the learning process; (b) music is used as a background music to accentuate the students' mood and wellbeing; (c) music integration that occurs in childhood level is as an important tool in the thematic approach to achieve good results in their learning process; (d) educator's perception of usage and music integration proves to be beneficial to preschool students academically, behaviourally and emotionally thus enhancing the mind development as well as the aesthetic awareness; (e) Music integration may help students achieve where other curricular methods' have failed them; (f) educators need to be more creative and find ways to enhance teaching using and integrating music into classroom; (g) There were some issues pertaining to the importance of training and long or short term programs for educators to use and integrate music into classroom and; (h) the misconceptions of others in these matters. From this research, it is hoped that it will bring light for those who are interested in both childhood and music education. Usage and integration of music into classroom indeed proves to be a useful tool towards developing a sound and well rounded person. A balanced and well rounded person is one of the key aspects in the National Education Philosophy's goal. The researcher hopes that this research will provide useful information about understanding and the implementation of this method for all who are interested and involved in this profession.
