Abstract
Education, knowledge, information, and creativity are progressively becoming driving forces behind new social, cultural, and educational structures. In response to social change, this study will examine the development of school music education in China, focusing on culture-based creativity. With the advance of Information Technology (IT), China’s Ministry of Education (MoE) issued a guideline in 2015 on exploring maker education (also known as the maker movement) to reform educational practices and ideology in China. The inception of China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative has also generated internationally-geared cultural diversity and various outputs of cultural industries and international education to increase social inclusion and to seek closer political, economic, and creative ties. To analyse the impact of relevant social change on creativity in music education, this study will employ multiple research and data-collection methods, including the analysis of official documents and official approved music textbooks; other relevant literature; and in-depth semi- structured interviews with teachers conducted between the summer and autumn of 2019. This study will focus on the investigation of the relationship between teacher training and knowledge and informed pedagogical decisions, as well as the limits to creativity in music education in teaching classroom music in the changing society of China.
