A Study on the Development and Effects of Project Learning Model for Practical Arts Subject in Primary School

The purpose of this study was to develop project learning model for practical arts, and to investigate its effects on academic achievement of practical arts. Project learning model for practical arts were developed by analyzing and synthesizing the literatures about the project approach, practical arts education and instruction models. And the applicable ways were suggested according to learning steps. To verify the effects of project learning on academic achievement of practical arts, two classes were selected from the 6th grade students at a primary school in Pusan. And they were divided into experimental and comparative groups. The experimental group was participated in project learning based on the developed project learning model for practical arts and comparative group was in traditional learning. The tests of cognitive achievement, skill performance and affective achievement were administrated before and after treatment. The results were as followed; The cognitive and affective achievements were significantly higher in the project learning group than the traditional learning group. But there was not significant difference in skill performance between two groups. This results suggested that the project learning was effective on cognitive and affective achievements and not effective on the skill performance for practical arts. However, as that result may be influenced by poor environments of the practice, it can not be concluded that the project learning was not effective on skill performance. In conclusion, the project learning method is considered as the appropriate one for practical arts education. And the developed project learning model for practical arts reflected the objects, characteristics and phases of project approach well.
