Abstract

The teaching quality of primary and secondary schools is closely related to the level of teachers’ knowledge and abilities. Besides, the level of teachers’ knowledge and abilities is directly related to the quality of teachers’ pre-service education. In this research, 177 teachers who work in primary and secondary schools and graduated from a music major at a normal university in Guizhou from 2016 to 2020 were surveyed by random sampling to identify the current knowledge and abilities of primary and secondary music teachers. Apart from that, Excel and SPSS software were used for the statistical analysis of questionnaire data. As shown by the results, the music teachers in primary and secondary schools have a solid grasp of the laws and regulations related to education, knowledge, and subject-professional knowledge, but their abilities of subject-professional skills and comprehensive abilities need to be improved, especially the abilities of music creation, choreography, small band rehearsal, and information technology application and research abilities. It is hoped that this research could provide enlightenment and references for the reform and development of music teachers’ pre-service education in primary and secondary schools in China.
