Abstract

Music is not only an important carrier of human cultural inheritance but also the precious cultural heritage and wisdom of mankind. Therefore, the study of folk music is of great benefit to the cultivation of national emotions and the establishment of a sense of the value of primary and secondary school students. Hence, this research aims to explore the status quo of folk music teaching in primary and secondary schools, as well as the influence factors of folk music teaching and the inheritance of folk music in primary and secondary schools. This research aims to apply questionnaire survey and interview methods. 36 school leaders, 66 music teachers, and 720 students from 23 primary and secondary schools were randomly selected through stratified sampling. The results of the research show that the students lack music literacy, teachers lack folk music literacy, evaluation methods of the music curriculum are random and simple, the compilation of music textbooks cannot meet the needs of students, school leaders and superiors pay insufficient attention to the teaching of folk music, the music social practice outside the school is relatively less; in addition, students’ interest in folk music is significantly positively correlated with the influence factors such as music teachers’ work attitude, curriculum, music teaching materials, school policies, national policies, family education and so on, what’s more, the work attitude of the teachers has a significant predictive effect on the primary and secondary school students’ interest in folk music and their inheritance of folk music.
