Research on Pathways for Integrating Music and STEAM Education: A Case Study of the Affiliated Primary School of Anhui Normal University

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the continuous deepening of comprehensive education reform, the STEAM education concept is increasingly becoming an important way to cultivate students' core literacy and comprehensive abilities. As an important component of art education, the music discipline not only undertakes the function of aesthetic education in the STEAM system, but also serves as an effective carrier to stimulate students' innovative thinking and interdisciplinary abilities. This paper takes the Affiliated Primary School of Anhui Normal University as the research sample to conduct a systematic analysis of the integration of music and STEAM education, and explore an integrated education model suitable for the background of basic education in China. Research has found that the deep integration of music and STEAM can enhance students' aesthetic literacy, scientific literacy and problem-solving abilities. However, its implementation still faces problems such as scattered courses and a single teaching staff structure. To this end, this paper proposes to optimize the integration path from multiple aspects such as curriculum reconstruction, teacher training, technological empowerment, and institutional support, with the aim of providing references for future basic education reform.
