IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION WITH THE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO PRESCHOOL MUSIC EDUCATION

The goal of this paper is to present an alternative contemporary pedagogical approach that particularly contributes to creating interdisciplinary connections and integrating and connecting music with other artistic and subject areas, the concept known as the Connected Curriculum (Fung, 2017) with a purpose of improving the existing curriculum and ensuring a more extensive experience for students. Since it is important for the curriculum to be based on and consistent with the research from practice focused on research- based education, this paper emphasizes the importance of Research Based Learning (RBL). A descriptive method of educational research is used in this paper, and the main goal is to present different approaches to interdisciplinary education. The research problem is focused on the need for an interdisciplinary approach to music education in accordance with modern approaches and types of education based on curriculum integration. This type of curriculum integration and interdisciplinary approach to music education of future preschool teachers is in accordance with a holistic view of civilization and the world (Economidou Stavrou and Socratous, 2011), while it also preserves the integrity of musical experience and ensures a better understanding of children’s need for complete musical expression for the purpose of their overall development.
