Exploration And Research On Hierarchical Teaching Junior High School Music Class Implementation Strategies

The conventional class teaching adopts the idea of uniform mode of teaching,which is unable to meet each student’s individual needs, and fails to assist all thestudents in their studying experience; therefore, would eventually result in polaritybetween the high-achieving students and average ones. Stratified teaching is form ofteaching that allows teachers to help students at different levels separately whilekeeping the overall progress of the whole class. The “forte” of this teaching methodis that it sufficiently recognizes the difference in each individual student in terms oflearning. Upon the rudimentary educational concept—ensuring students’ balanced,comprehensive development—stratified teaching will maximize the strong point ofeach student and fully extracts students’ potentials to ameliorate the teachingprocess and to enhance teaching quality in order to promote quality education.The stratified teaching method this paper explains improves the teachingquality by stimulating the subjective initiative of students. It sets its foothold on thediscrepancy between the capacity of learning of each student, and bases suchconcepts as “teaching based on individual needs”,“zone of proximal development”,and “constructivism learning” as foundations. Through revolutionizing teaching formsand methods, stratified teaching propels students to initiate their own learningexperience, and helps each student achieve a certain level of development.This paper, based on some of the previous studies, analyzes the practicalityof stratified teaching in music. The whole paper consists of five parts.Part I: The background information of stratified teaching, the internationalstudies on such, and its goal and methods.Part II: The article explains the necessity of utilizing stratified teaching inmusic classes in three ways.Part III: This part focuses on the actual teaching in music classes. Also, itanalyzes the characteristics of music class, and the key points in carrying outstratified teaching as well.Part IV: In this part, I suggested three teaching strategies and eight teaching methods, integrating specific cases to demonstrate the results of the stratifiedteaching.Part V: Finally, this part proposes some hypotheses and prospect for furtherstudies on stratified teaching.
