本研究旨在探討音樂活動對於國小六年級學童情緒智能之成效,並且分析不同性別之研究對象在情緒智能表現的差異情形。研究者採用前實驗研究設計之「單組前測與後測設計」,以桃園縣立某國小八十位六年級學童為研究對象,其中男生四十二人,女生三十八人。研究對象接受為期四週,每週兩節、每節四十分鐘,合計八節課之音樂活動課程。研究者採用鄭聖敏與王振德(2009)修訂Bar-On與Parker(2000)編製的《情緒智能量表青少年版》作為資料蒐集工具,以描述統計與t檢定進行分析。本研究之發現如下: 壹、國小六年級學童在接受音樂活動後之情緒智能總分、內省量表、壓力管理量表、一般心情量表後測成績有顯著進步 貳、國小六年級學童在接受音樂活動後之人際量表、適應量表後測成績沒有顯著進步 參、國小六年級學童在情緒智能前測、後測表現均不具性別差異,但於情緒智能前、後測進步情形具有性別差異 最後根據研究結論,對教育相關工作者與未來研究提出建議,以作為音樂教育參考之用。
The purposes of the study were to explore the effectiveness of emotional intelligence, and to investigate the gender difference in students’ emotional intelligence. The pre-experimental design of one-group pretest-posttest design was adopted in this study. The experimental samples came from 6th graders at one elementary school in Taoyuan City, including 42 boys and 38 girls who received the music activities focused on the emotional and musical learning objectives. The experimental activities lasted four weeks, took two 40-minute sessions a week, and total were 8 sessions. The “Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version”, which was conducted by Bar-On and Parker (2000) and translated by Cheng Sheng-Min and Wang Chen-Te (2009), was adopted to collect the data. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used for analysis. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1. There was significant effect on improving the emotional intelligence, the intrapersonal skills, the stress-management scales, and the general mood of the 6th graders. 2. There was no significant effect on improving the interpersonal skills, and the adaptability scales of the 6th graders. 3. There was no significant gender difference in both the pretest and the protest, but there was significant gender difference in the representation’s progress. According the research results, the researcher made suggestions for the educational worker and future researches as the reference resources for the music education.
