CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
1.0 Introduction.
Visual Arts Education in National Formal Education System means a
systematic, planned and measurable performance to meet the needs and
aspirations of individual countries. It is triggered through painting, sculpture
and various other skills blended with students experience and what they have
learned.
According to the fourth edition of Kamus Dewan, arts are defined as
works of art such as poetry, painting, music and others that were created with
the talent and ability to create something beautiful. Indirectly acknowledged
that in order to produce a product of art, talent, ability and a strong appreciation
and understanding is very important. Ability is something that can be learned
and developed while talent is something that stands on its own as a result of
God's grace. Both are closely linked in producing a product of art that has a
high aesthetic value.
The goal of primary school Visual Art Education Syllabus is to produce
a harmonious, critical, creative and proactive learners through Visual Basic. The
curriculum seeks to help students improve their gratitude to God, appreciate the
natural beauty of the surroundings, the beauty of art and heritage and contribute
towards the development of self, family, society and the state in accordance
with the National Education Philosophy.

Visual Arts teaching in schools is meant to provide opportunities for

pupils to develop their interests, personality, awareness and sensitivity towards
the values of the arts and the environment in relation to other subjects. Using
appropriate strategies and content in teaching is indeed encouraging, to foster
students interest. In the Visual Art world, teachers need to apply meaningful
and intriguing approaches in teaching in order to facilitate the learning process
and at the same time arouse interest towards the subject. Before the lesson start
the teacher should make careful planning so creative and systematic teaching
sessions are conducted more effectively and achieve the objectives. In making
and planning of teaching and learning of the Visual Art World, teachers need to
have a profound knowledge about strategies and methods of teaching and
learning. It allows teachers to carry out their teaching more effective.
To overcome the problems that often arise during the teaching and
learning process as students often do not focus on teaching and frequent
discipline problems in the classroom, teachers need to make a change and
innovation in their teaching. Teachers need to be wise in choosing strategies or
approaches appropriate to the circumstances and prior knowledge of students in
the classroom. Selection of a suitable approach will make teaching more lively
and objectives will be achieved easily and effectively.
According

to

Hisyamuddin

(2010),

National

Education

Goals

formulated by the Ministry of Education are very clear. Nevertheless, it requires

effort and unwavering focus of teachers in achieving it. Therefore, teachers need
to be prepared to create changes aimed at improving the quality of teaching and

learning. Creative and innovative teacher is the criteria to be there for teachers
to implement changes in the delivery of the adoption of the communication
patterns of activities and many others.
Singing approach is one of the very effective methods to arouse the
interest of students in order to focus on teaching and learning. The explanation
by Nur Hashim (2010), in a study of the actions, Effectiveness and Mechanical
Singing Induction Set Attracting Students Towards Learning Science (2010),
states that singing technique applied to a set of induction during the teaching
process has succeeded in attracting students towards science subjects.. This is
because the singing approach of the subject learned can generate interest and
easily generate students understanding.
In conclusion, singing approach in education can arouse their interest
and thus can solve problems that often arise during the process of teaching and
learning in the classroom.
1.1 Background of the Study.
This study is an innovation made towards studying the effectiveness of
the approach of singing in the process of teaching and learning for the Visual
Art World subject.
The syllabus of the Primary School Curriculum Standard (2010)
contains an element of edutainment in teaching and learning. The Government
intends to introduce edutainment to realize the transformation of teaching and
learning in the classroom. It is expected edutainment approach in the classroom
3

will make learning more interactive and student-centered. Thus the teacher will
be more easily appreciated and understood by students. Singing approach is one
of the methods available in edutainment. Teaching sessions will be more relaxed
and fun as well as reducing the pressure on students. (Curriculum KSSR Year 2)
In addition, the singing approach method proved effective in increasing
students interest in learning, reduce passive behavior, active participation of
pupils throughout teaching and learning session and can minimize discipline
problems among students. Singing method can create a learning environment
that is lively and entertaining learners. Pupils who undergo the teaching and
learning process using songs feel more exthusiastic and fun to learn compared
with students who undertake the teaching and learning process using
conventional methods. According to Suzella Ab. Samad (2009), the purpose of
the song is to enhance students' interest in learning and sleepiness while in
class. Therefore, it can be concluded that the singing approach is an intriguing
method which encourages active participation and enthusiasm towards the
subject and learning process.
This supports the fact mentioned by Abd Fatah (1994), if a student is to
integrate both functions of the brain in harmony, learning will be fun, will
increase the power of concentration, memory will be stronger, increase
inquisitive power imagination will be improved to solve the problem, and
thought will be more active.
Kamarul (2003), stated in the process of preparing teaching aids, a
teacher has to run a variety of research really helpful to teachers and students.
4

Therefore, as an effort to ensure continued innovation in education in line with

the main thrust of the educational goals that you want to make sure students can
understand and also considering the results of teaching and learning and provide
a learning environment that is entertaining, this study was conducted to test the
effectiveness of the technique in singing help teachers and students in teaching
and learning activities that have been implemented. In addition, it also seeks to
improve the performance of the students in the topics focused.
Painting is important to enhance the creativity of a child. Most children
now, even at the age of 10 years old still cannot produce a painting with a good
foundation. Drawing skills are important as an indicator of the ability of
students to apply the knowledge of the elements of art and principles of design
that has been understood in the World of Visual Arts (KSSR) Ministry of
Education (2010).
According to Britain and Lowenfeld (1983), the visual aesthetic presentation of
a child has certain characteristics. Children at every age level have to master
certain artistic values pertaining to the development of their painting skills in
line with age cognitive development, psychomotor and effective. This explains
painting is an important aspect that needs to be mastered by all pupils in the
school.
Referring to Mohd Johari Ab. Hamid (2004), Visual Arts World subject
taught to students is not solely aimed at producing artists and designers. It is to
create imaginative citizens, creative, knowledgeable and sensitive to aesthetic

values. It also aims to create awareness and understanding of the pupils and
appreciate the role of the arts as a necessity in life and relationship with nature.
According to Mohd Johari Ab. Hamid (2006), elements of art is a
fundamental element in the production of works of arts. Recognize and
understand the elements of art and it is very important to note that every work
of art has one or more of the specified elements. The lines represent the basic
elements essential for producing drawings and sketches. Therefore an
understanding of the types of lines that range becomes an important aspect to
facilitate students in painting.
Mastery of drawing skills using a song or singing approach among
students will equip them with the skills and communicate directly. This is in line
with the objectives of the National Education Philosophy in Malaysia, aimed at
developing balanced, harmonious and potential individuals through a holistic
and integrated manner.
Feldmen (1996) in the state authority Art Education, five-dimensional
view of social, economic, political dimension, the dimension of psychology, and
cognitive or moral dimension. Planning and implementation of these subjects
should be comprehensive and balanced according to the teaching curriculum set
by the Ministry of Education which covers four main areas of the field of
drawing, making the field of construction, field patterns and designs making
and introduce the field of traditional handicrafts. In the area there is a drawing
technique called painting technique to produce images. This technique is the

basis for a pupil to produce works. Good painting is to apply the elements of art
and principles of good design.
While singing technique, is a teachers teaching approach to deliver and
import her knowledge

pertaining to her subject, to facilitate the learning

process. In the context of this run, the researcher wants to add aspects of her
teaching practice by emphasizing the application of singing techniques. Lyrics
of the songs are focused on types of lines in drawing, composed using catchy
melody. The aim of the research is to improve students' understanding of the
kinds of skills the next line drawing by applying the types of lines that are
understood through singing.
Accordingly, it is expected that this study can help students achieve the
Standard Visual Arts World Learning in the Primary School Curriculum through
edutainment aspect more effectively.
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
Based on former teaching and learning, researchers found that the
implementation of the teaching of Visual Arts World KSSR subject in his school
teaching has been going well. Pupils were taught a variety of knowledge and
skills in relation to this subject. Through observation, the researcher found that
there are teachers who teach Visual Arts World subjects skin fully skilled and
creatively though they did not take a degree in visual arts as their major. The
researcher has been entrusted to teach subjects for Visual Arts World subject to
pupils in 2 Cempaka. The number of students in this class is 35, consists of all
Malays. Students in this class have moderate level of knowledge.
7

During the execution of teaching and learning process in the classroom

to teach drawing field of painting, observation was done. Through observation
during teaching researcher found that some students are not proficient at
drawing and there was no immediate reason to do these activities with drawing
it difficult and tedious. Oral questions were posed about the kinds of basic lines,
but they could not answer them correctly. There is a direct disciple did not
respond and just keep silent. In fact, some of them have been misbehaving like
making noise, disturbing friends and strolling in the classroom.
Therefore, the researcher wants to increase students mastery in painting
technique by improving their understanding of the types of lines in order for
students to produce a good painting. Hairul Izwan Mohd Rosli (2010), in his
study describes the application of the types of lines can improve drawing skills
of pupils by means of self-exploration. This is when students explore something
indirectly students receive new knowledge. The type of line is very important
when applied to produce a painting. Through singing approach can enhance
students understanding and interest in the World of Visual Arts. And this is
where the researcher suspects that this problem should be solved by the
absorption of music in understanding the types of lines through the song.
According to Edi Izral (2010), in his study describes singing techniques used
has been shown to increase students comprehension and memory in a way that
is easier and can improve their memory. The formulation of the findings stated
that the method of singing has improved students interest and understanding.
Learning through singing method is also suitable to be applied as it is more
student-centered because students will sing and continue to paint by the lyrics
8

with the guidance of a teacher. Then they will remember and understand the
types of lines and provide a permanent memory for use when drawing.
Primary School Curriculum refers World Visual Arts Year 2, pupils in
primary schools generally on the whole are creative, expressive and active.
Visual arts play a role to develop these qualities through visual perception,
imagination and thought. Thinking activities, exploration, and design in a
variety of visuals will allow them to express their ideas and self-expression.
This experience is important because it can help students to build selfconfidence, make judgments, and to recognize their own flavor and strengths.
Visual Arts World Standard document covers topics which confirm the
exploration, production process, understanding the meaning of the arts as a
whole, and criticism. With the Visual Arts Education in primary schools will
enable to shape the next generation of Malaysia's arts and cultural literacy. The
goals of the Visual Arts World subject are aimed at producing balanced, critical,
creative, and productive through building basic visual arts.
Art education is an educational program that is systematic, planned and
measurable performance to meet individual needs. His individual needs to be
achieved through artistic activities involving knowledge and process skills,
techniques and media as well as the establishment of the moral values (Md.
Nasir Hassan Ibrahim & Abraham, 2003).
Teachers understand and appreciate the reasonable control of the
curriculum and syllabus for Visual Arts Education. In fact, they should be well
versed with the process syllabus focuses on the development of specific
9

knowledge and skills upgrading. Using strategies and effective learning

approach will enable us to produce students who can paint very well with skills.
This is consistent with the Standard Content KSSR which is meant to execute
educative elements applied in the teaching and learning of the Visual Art World.
Based on the problems in the teaching and learning process of the last
infusion makes the researcher to review teaching practices so that researchers
can figure out more effective ways to help them. This raises the awareness of
the value of a teacher who wants to practice or encourage better control of
drawing skills. The researcher decided to carry out this study in order to
improve students weaknesses and try to improve teaching methods and
techniques appropriate to the needs of students. The value of education as
practiced by the researchers is to foster a culture of painting by using the
method of singing.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
1.3.1 General Objective
The objective of this study is to improve understanding and
arouse students interest in Visual Arts World through singing approach
among students of year 2.
1.3.2 Specific Objectives
I. Help students to develop an understanding and interest towards Visual
Arts World through singing.

10

1.4 Research Questions

I. Does singing approach help students to develop an understanding of
the Visual Arts World?
II. Does singing approach help to attract students towards learning
Visual Arts World?
1.5 Importance of Study
Based on the experience of the researcher during the teaching and
learning of the Visual Arts World, researcher has identified several problems
faced by pupils in Year 2 Cempaka. Among these problems is the lack of pupils
interest in the lessons taught which mainly involve drawing activities. This
situation may be due to the students did not understand the kinds of drawing
lines and assume it is a difficult and tedious activity.
From the observations made, students are not interested and less focused
on teaching because they do not have the knowledge, experience and exposure
are not given on drawing skills using proper techniques. After the researcher is
aware of the problems faced by most of the students in the class, plans are made
to help them be interested in the subjects Visual Arts World and master the skills
of drawing. The researcher has chosen to sing approach to improve the
understanding and students' interest in Visual Art World. The researcher will
conduct further teaching approach using songs and try to get responses from the
pupils.

11

The researcher needs, in order to carry out this study to apply Creativity
Development Theory by Viktor Lowenfeld which is parallel with ages traversed
and cognitive development and ability effectively. In addition, students should
have a grasp of 2 types of lines that range while studying in year 1 or during the
preschool years. Next, they need to know their uses and when to apply them
producing drawings. Furthermore, singing approach is fun, enjoyable and less
stressful pertaining to the teaching of the Visual Arts World.
In addition, this study can also be used as a valuable distribution to the
public and other education issues and interventions that have been conducted
for a shared-same. In addition, the studies that have been carried out also proved
arguments and the instrument used in this study coincide and can solve the
problem. Confidence in other educators can also be upgraded to use the song
approaches in teaching and learning and data of the results of this study can be
displayed and receive favorable findings and can demystify the research
questions.
The findings of this study are expected to provide benefits to the Teacher
Education Division (BPG), the Ministry of Education (MOE) to streamline and
equip trainees with sufficient knowledge about the content, methods, strategies,
and techniques so that they are confident and willing to perform the task as
executing agency World Visual Arts curriculum KSSR a very important element
of edutainment and do not underestimate the subjects Visual Arts World.

next chapter.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
15

2.0 Introduction
In this section will be described in further matters related to the study,
which is related to the study of literacy-related concepts and theories related
literature research. In addition, previous studies also included that have been
done related to topics studied. At the end of this section will be described the
relationship between literacy and research topic.
2.1 Literature Survey Related to Concepts.
According to Mok Soon Sang (2006), teaching methodology refers to
the use of all effective ways to help teachers deliver the knowledge, skills and
values desired by the students.
Singing technique is one of the strategies or methods that can be used in
teaching and learning. By Cheek, in Khadijah, Maharani & Raudah in Zaidatun
Ling and Nasir (2008) state students actively provide information through
singing.
Singing means in terms of expression that can be inserted into the song
and rhythm. According Suzella Ab. Samad (2009) the intended use of the
technique of singing is to enhance students' interest in learning and prevent
them from getting bored and sleepy in the classroom. With the use of singing
technique, students will be interested in learning and encourage them to
participate actively in the process of teaching and learning.

16

In the context of strengthening students skills, singing is an activity that

can help teachers achieve these goals. This is because the song itself requires a
clear and correct pronunciation, rhythm and cadence and delivered by pressure,
specific intonation and tone. Teachers can prepare songs relevant to the contents
of the lesson. Singing in activities a study conducted with the aim of which is to
provide some understanding of the types of lines through the lyrics of songs
composed to give an overview to apply when drawing to improve skills in
painting.
Painting is one of the activities that can be done using dry media such as
pencil, color pencil, charcoal, crayons, soft pastels or other materials as
appropriate. Good painting is when an advanced student to apply the elements
of art and principles of design. Basic drawing is to understand the elements of
art such as line, shape, form, color, space and connectivity. The main thing to
produce painting is by doing a sketch using the line. Hassan Ghazali (2012),
states an important base line in visual art because it involves work early stage in
the process of producing the work. Hairul Izuan Mohd Rosli (2010), in his study
stated that drawing skills can be improved through self-discovery and
application by the student. The student must have the spirit of inquiry to explore
and try out the types of Geris diversity and function, then the student is easy to
apply while generating the drawing.
Lines also resulted from grafting a series of contiguous points. Lines are
also considered as a moving point. The composition of continuous point it is

17

also considered as a baseline. Arrangements that point the possibility of having

the long nature and size of uncertainty.
There are various types of lines that can be used as the thick, hairy lines,
fine lines, spiral lines, lines cascade, seed lines, angled lines, uncluttered lines,
dashed lines, rough lines, dotted lines, wavy lines and spins, thin line, barbed
lines, jagged lines, repeating lines and lines vibrate. It can be viewed on-line
environment that is divided into two lines and lines of natural things man-made
objects.
The line of natural objects such as rough on the tree trunk lines, lines
coiled in shells, spiky durian fruit on lines, wavy lines on parts of cabbages, and
furry and jagged lines on a tree fern. While the sample line on the man-made
objects are jagged lines on the saw blade, the corrugated roof tile lines, lines
overlaid on the mats, gross and fine lines on the marble floor and dashed lines
on the highway divider.
Multiple Intelligences theory introduced by Howard Gardner (1983)
describes the intelligence is not merely inherited and pupils can be identified
through intelligence aspect that can be detected in them. It can inspire creativity
in applying the notion of observation and learning to help them develop further
skills and knowledge acquired into practice. Garner lists the eight intelligences
namely Intelligence, Logical / Mathematical Intelligence Visual, kinesthetic
intelligence, Music Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Verbal Intelligence
and Intelligence Naturalist.

18

In the context of the study, researchers integrate music into the visual
scene teaching and learning process study. Intelligence involving visual-spatial
in the Art Education course there and in the context of the study, singing
involves intelligence applied to music. The combination of both an intelligence
can be applied, stimulated, studied, taught, and improved through a variety of
activities and appropriate education in the arts.
In conclusion, with the provision of teaching and learning process by teachers to
include the song then, the learning objectives to be served easily achieved by all
pupils.
2.2 Reviews Of Previous Studies Related Literature
Hairul Izuan Mohd Rosli (2010) in his study describes the application of
these types of lines can improve drawing skills of pupils to paint by his own
explorations. This is when students explore indirectly students construct new
knowledge, types of lines are very important when applied to painting.
Furthermore, it is of fundamental importance in creating a painting.
Meanwhile, Edi Izral (2010) in his study describes singing techniques
used has been shown to increase students proficiency in vocabulary among preschoolers. In addition, it increases students' understanding of pupils with an
easier way and can develop their memory. Summary of research explains that
singing techniques have improved verbal and comprehension of students.
This study was supported by research done by Fairuz (2011), which
describes how to use the lyrics of songs that have improved student mastery and
19

understanding of a KVKV mention syllable. Song lyrics composed assist

researchers presenting instructional objectives more easily. When students sing
students will remember and store them in their eternal memory.
Izuddin Mohd Akmal (2011), in his study singing in teaching and
learning activities has increased the understanding of the students to get to
know the names of angels and their tasks can improve the skills given then
stored in long term memory. His research tool that uses pre and post tests also
shows that the mean difference scores very significant improvement.
Explanation by Nur Hashim (2010), in a study of his actions
Effectiveness of Mechanical Singing in the Induction Set Attracting Students to
Study Science (2010), explains that the technique of singing that was applied
during an induction set of teaching and learning processes of students have
attracted students to the learning points science lessons. This is because the
technique of singing students more fun and easier to understand something that
is trying to learn. Interviews were conducted with student finds his students are
very excited to continue teaching and learning process after the induction song
set is used.
Edith & Kamariati study (2005), about the effectiveness of songs in T &
L process conducted in Tanjung Batu, Tawau, Sabah, showed that overall, the
target group reacted positively to the subjects taught. They show a good
performance in the learning of aspects considering the facts of science which is
especially important in labeling diagrams. This in turn can attract students to
learn.
20

Sufian & Osman (2008), conducted a study entitled Use of Music in T &
L Classroom and the results show that good music can evoke a sense of fun
learning and learning among students and pupils can develop thinking skills.
The findings also showed that music is effective as a classroom management
tool as a channel to express students. In fact, the use of subjects is one of the
strategies to ensure teaching and learning process in the classroom into one
unforgettable experience and can indirectly improve the quality of teaching.

2.3 Relations With The Topics Of The Literature Review.

Study abroad ranging use of singing in the teaching and learning process
is also carried out. Campbell (1990) in his study entitled Multiple Intelligences
In The Classroom proves that music and singing method used in the process of
T & L can improve student academic achievement. In this study, Bruce
Campbell uses music to help the respondent remember and understand the facts.
As a result of that test results show that the student is a student who was less
successful in his studies. Also received positive feedback from the respondents,
they expressed that they felt comfortable and enjoyable to learn with this
method. Their confidence and motivation have also increased indirectly.
In a study entitled The Effectiveness of Integrating Music in The
Classroom carried out by Brewer (2007) pointed out that the integration of
music into the teaching and learning process is a very effective approach to
music which is suitable for all ages. In a study conducted by him, the use of
music and singing in the teaching and learning process can help students
21

remember learning experience can be passed in addition to encouraging the

active participation of students in the teaching and learning process. Rhythms
and melodies used in the songs, chat, poems and rap can strengthen the memory
of facts and content.
There are various studies on the use of music (singing) in the teaching
and learning process were conducted for this and have shown no positive
response. Although many studies have proven music can increase the effective
teaching and learning process in the classroom, but it can look be ignored by
school teachers. Thus, researchers will take the initiative to undertake a study on
the effectiveness of methods of singing in enhancing the understanding and
interest of students, in a bid to become a teacher creates.
All literature reviews done by the researcher are related to intervention
program which solely focuses on songs or singing approach. The song used in
the action research applies various types of lines in its lyrics. Students or
respondents will apply the types of lines from the song directly in their painting
or drawing.

The findings are assessed to prove effective interventions undertaken to

arouse the interest of pupils and students can enhance understanding of the
types of lines and students can draw and by inserting elements of singing in the
teaching and learning process.
3.2 Sampling of Study
Sampling is a research strategy to obtain information about a population
of individuals who comprise the population. Some individuals were taken
through the sampling is representative of a population is called a sample.
According to Cresswell (2005), the proportional random sampling technique is
a technique used for populations that do not show an imbalance of
characteristics for a sample.
The sample of the study is composed of 35 respondents from Class 2
Cempaka. All respondents were Malays. Respondents consisted of 16 boys
respondents and 19 girls respondents. Rating of the class is at 6th position out of
15 classes, in the year 2. The academic performance of all respondents is at a
moderate level for Visual Arts World and other subjects.
3.3 Location of Study

CHAPTER 5
DISCUSSION, SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.0 Identification
In this chapter, we explain the formulation of studies that have been
conducted, the recommendations of the study, recommendations for further
research and conclusions of the study. At the end of this chapter provides some
suggestions for researchers who may conduct by other researchers in the future.
5.1. Summary of the Study
This research is to generate interest and enhance student understanding
in particular Visual Arts World drawing skills. Drawing skills in the fields
contained in the Standard Curriculum for Primary Schools 2010 (World Visual
Arts) that must be mastered by the students. Problems noted during the
observation in the classroom is less interested pupils and do not understand
what for drawing lines.
58

The researcher used the approach singing during art lesson. The title
song used is the song 'Bulat Kecil, Bulat Besar' and Ikan Di Sungai'. Based on
the lyrics of the song, the researcher introduced the types of lines and a range of
steps to draw pictures on the topic being studied.
Researchers perform twice intervention measures in two teaching
sessions in class. There are three instruments used in this study, namely, analysis
of the documents of study painting, teacher observation and recording of images
during the process of teaching and learning. All data were collected and
recorded and analyzed. The analysis results of the three studies showed an
intervention tool that can be carried out to address the problem of attracting
students and improve their understanding and skills in producing better
paintings.
5.3 Conclusion and Discussion of Findings
Through research findings that have been obtained, the researcher found
that the objectives have been achieved and study questions are answered
through the song that was used in teaching and learning. In conclusion, the
approach used in singing can help generate interest and enhance student
understanding of the Visual Arts World, especially in drawing skills.
Singing method used is very encouraging and the results obtained show
an improvement of the skills and interests of the students was very deep.
Therefore, this song is the reasonable approach used in teaching and learning by
teachers to teach a science skill.

59

This finding is consistent with the findings of a study conducted by

Edith and Kamariati (2005) about the effectiveness of Songs In The Process of
Teaching and Learning in Schools conducted Tanjung Batu, Tawau, Sabah. Both
findings indicate Overall, respondents have followed the teaching and learning
process that uses elements of singing in learning performance also have
increased, especially in terms of pupils, so as to arouse the interest of students
to learn.
Brewer (2007) in his study confirmed that the integration of music in the
classroom teaching and very effective. Based on his research, the use of music
and singing in the teaching and learning can help students remember learning
experience can be passed in addition to actively encourage student participation
in learning. Rhythms and melodies used in the song, chant, rhymes and rap can
strengthen the memory of facts and content. Coinciding with his studies, this
study also showed a similar effect of respondents could remember painting
production methods and understand the kind of lines to be used.
To obtain maximum results of the process of teaching and learning,
teachers must be smart and creative to attract students and make learning a fun
atmosphere. In circumstances will motivate and excite students achievement in
learning will also increase. Creative teaching methods and enjoyable as singing
approach can not only compel students to learn, but proven effective in
strengthening understanding and memory in these subjects.
5.3 Summary

60

The results have shown that the approach of singing has helped generate
interest and enhance student understanding and skills to produce a good
painting.
Overall, it can be concluded that the approach used in this song, giving
importance to students and teachers. Teaching strategies using Multiple
Intelligences Theory elements into visual music has help stimulate students and
help improve students' understanding and skills against the types of lines for
drawing. Finally, it is expected that the findings of this study will be beneficial
to all parties such as teachers, students and curriculum development centers.
5.4 Suggestions for Improvement Review
The study only shows a satisfactory improvement in the skills of pupils
in year two aspects of the types of lines. Therefore, it is proposed in the next
cycle in order to focus more researchers to study more comprehensive aspects
of drawing according to the age of the pupils progress from year to year.
Researchers can use this approach which is sung accompanied by the
sound of music so that teaching and learning can be more meaningful. These
improvements also need to involve the seriousness and willingness to produce
teacher teaching aids should be provided early and time-consuming, but gives
maximum results and can be used in the long term.
5.5 Recommendations Advanced Studies
Based on the outstanding results of the findings obtained data indicating
that singing method can generate interest and increase student comprehension in
61

the Visual Art World. This study can be developed and extended further to
obtain findings that benefits and as well as a complete and comprehensive
information. For further study, the researcher used the method of singing to help
solve the problem of pupils not only in painting skills and techniques, but also
other skills that are deemed appropriate. Writes of the lyrics for the song used is
very important that the teaching content to be conveyed more clearly. Teachers
need to be more creative to build a higher order thinking skills instruction is
imparted effectively.
In addition, by creating a new song lyrics and melody for the title, which
is focused without using lyrics available in an effort to stimulate students
interest and motivation to learn. Integrating methods singing with physical
movement (kinesthetic singing) to make the process more fun, singing and
actively encourage students participation.
In addition, the use of animated videos featuring song lyrics and melody
can create more interesting lessons in line with future education that emphasizes
the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and
learning.

5.6 Conclusion
Problems often occur during the process of teaching and learning in the
classroom can be overcome if the teacher uses the appropriate approach to
develop the students. Teachers need to be creative and smart in order to attract
62

and enhance their understanding of the content of the lesson taught. Pupils
should be given opportunities and guidance and proper training that can
enhance their understanding and interest in the World of Visual Arts.
In conclusion, it is expected that the results of this study can help me
and other teachers to improve their teaching practices when Visual Art World by
using the approach of singing mainly to primary school pupils.
