This study analyzed 19 questions of the categories “Interest in Gugak Education,” “Status of Gugak Education,” “Projects for Supporting School and Art Instructors,”and “Proposals for Activating Gugak Education” to investigate the awareness of Gugak education among elementary schoolteachers in Jeju. Although their level of interest in Gugak was found to be somewhat low, all of them were aware of the need for Gugak education. Many teachers lack the leadership skills required for imparting knowledge on Gugak in music classes, and are keen to change this through training in Gugak and the development of various media materials, among other things. Results of this study clarify that the next step is an indication of the direction in which the education of Korean traditional music in Jeju should proceed. First, it is necessary to increase all primary schoolteachers’ interest in Gugak before they take a teacher-certification exam, and not after appointment; this should be done by setting up an institutional system so that the portion of Gugak in the music curriculum of the education colleges that train prospective primary school teachers can be carried out by increasing the proportion of Gugak, which currently accounts for 40 percent of the music education in elementary schools. Second, we should fully develop and disseminate various media materials that can arouse students’ interest in Gugak classes, as well as consider ways to develop YouTube channels and online games on Gugak that explain it in a fun and easy manner, so that students can learn it on their own by “playing.” Third, we need to increase the number of 1:1 mixed classes where lessons are conducted by combining the practical skills of Gugak art instructors with the educational expertise of front-line. Fourth, we should ensure more opportunities to share information on Gugak training and to learn it for teachers after the appointment. It is also necessary to consider developing an online platform that recommends helpful training for teachers through simple test questions that evaluate their ability to teach Korean classical music.
