The research examined the use of folk songs in early childhood education in three
selected schools in the Afadjato-South District. The study investigated the actual
extent to which folk songs were taught and their implications on early childhood
education. It also identified the type of folk songs that were suitable for the early
childhood programme. The researcher used qualitative method approach and
implemented the case study strategy. Data were collected and analysed with the aid of
interviews and observation as research instruments. Teachers, pupils and parents were
participants, selected from three basic schools in Ve Gbodome, Hoeme, Agbome and
Deme (GHAD) communities with a purposive sampling technique. Research findings
revealed that, folk songs were good for teaching children and enabled them to develop
language, good singing voices, good memories and total personality. Also, folk songs
helped children to identify with their history and rich cultural heritage. However, the
extent at which it was used was low and therefore needed to be improved. Thus, the
study recommends that the use of folk songs should be intensified in the schools
especially at the early childhood stages. Future research could engulf investigation
into the impact of folk songs on the growing child. |
