The purpose of this study is a comprehensive analysis for curriculum training excellent teachers, by comparing and analyzing the training program for would-be music teachers in graduate school of education based on reorganized curriculum training teachers.
The results are as follow;
First, after comparing educational objectives of every graduate school of education, it is believed that it has combined both retraining for existing teachers and training for would-be teachers. However, its curriculum could not reflect educational objectives properly and just focused the latter. Because the status quo is overflowing with resources of secondary music teachers, graduate school of education should place more emphasis on reeducation for music teachers and capacity building for music education experts and provide curriculums for establishing academic identities and specialties.
Second, courses in teaching that must be completed as corequisite in graduate school of education, have not seemed to be different highly in subjects organization, but problems are found in aspect of training music teachers. As teaching training theory courses are overly weighted toward only theories, they lack connectivity with on-the-spot classrooms, so subjects considered connections with a field of music education should be opened.
Third, because of a deviation in the result of music education majors from school to school, all graduate schools of education granting same teaching certificates need to have a common curriculum. Moreover, in order to enhance major identity and specialty as "music education", courses associated with a sphere of subject matter teaching rather than a sphere of subject matter contents should be given more weight, and subjects in graduate school of education should deal with subdivided and thoughtful contents unlike those in undergraduate school. Subjects related with multicultural musics reflecting current various phenomena, subjects introducing styles of pop musics and subjects of educational technologies related with computer musics should be also placed, and subjects related Korean Traditional Music which is currently vastly insufficient should be build up in order to meet the need of Korean Traditional Music education which occupies more than 40% in the actual music education field of schools.
