Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop music skills learning management activities based on the Dalcroze’s concept for grade 4 students to achieve the 80/80 efficiency criterion, and 2) to compare the academic achievement in the music subject for primary school between pretest and posttest periods using Dalcroze’s concept-based music skills learning management activities. 3) Study music practice skills using Dalcroze’s concept-based music skills learning management activities. The sample was grade 4 students from one classroom at RajabhatMahasarakham University Demonstration School. The sample size was 22 students, obtained based on a simple random sampling by drawing lots Research .instruments were Dalcroze’s concept-based music skills learning management activity plans. Data were analyzed using statistics, including mean, percentage, E1/E2, and dependent t-test. The results of this research indicated as follows:     

1. The efficiency index of Dalcroze’s concept-based music skills learning management activities for grade 4 students was 85.55/82.12, which was higher than a set criterion.


2. Academic achievement of the sample taught with Dalcroze’s concept-based music skills learning management activities increased by 33.96% with a statistical significance level of .01.


3. In terms of practical skills of students learned withDalcroze’s concept-based music skills learning management activities, a mean score of physical movement with the melodyat posttest period was 71.68 percent, followed by music note reading-writing with a meanof 62.18 percent, physical movements with the rhythmwith a mean of 59.09 percent, and singing with a mean of 58.86 percent, with the total mean percentage of the full score was 69.25 percent.
