This study aims to explore the application of the "CC-LEAP Arts Domain Module" in a sixth-grade class using Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute" as the teaching theme. This cross-disciplinary study investigates the performance of "art appreciation" in integrated arts teaching. Employing an action research methodology, the study involved 25 sixth-grade students (13 boys, 12 girls) from Hope Elementary School (pseudonym) in New Taipei City. The experimental teaching was conducted bi-weekly over one semester. The researcher collected and analyzed various data, including worksheets, student work, and teacher journals, and triangulated the findings with observations and interviews. The research results are as follows:
1.Deeper Understanding of Artworks: Implementing the "CC-LEAP Arts Domain Module" enabled students to develop a deeper understanding of artworks and appreciate them from multiple perspectives.
2.Comprehensive Arts Teaching: The "CC-LEAP Arts Domain Module" provided a comprehensive framework for arts teaching, stimulating students' learning interest. However, teachers encountered challenges in terms of time allocation and curriculum design during the implementation process.
3.Recommendations for Future Research: Future studies could explore the application of the module to different age groups or art domains, and provide more comprehensive training for teachers to promote the wider use of the "CC-LEAP Arts Domain Module" in teaching.
