Creative Approach to Computing Through Music in the Early Childhood Education

This paper applies an experimental case study aiming at the assessment of the effectiveness of computer science teaching, when it is framed by activities with clear direction of "creation and expression" and in particular music. The research goes beyond the view that computers are a tool and examines them as a subject of the curriculum of the kindergarten through a creative didactic intervention. The sample was divided into two groups, the experimental group that implemented a training program for teaching basic computer concepts supported by alternative creative musical education activities and the control group which implemented a corresponding program that utilized “tutorials” and “drill and practice” software. The analysis of the data shows that computer literacy combined with music education activities had improved learning outcomes compared to the method used by guided teaching through software. The research supports the proposal for the development of educational ap...

Musical creation experiences in primary education

2019

The aim of the study is to analyse the implications of digital technologies of sound as generator element of sound art and transforming tool of teaching and learning music. The participants (n=42) development three musical creation experiences with use of different software’s. The study employed a qualitative and interpretative approach. Participant observation, field notes, photographic/audio records as well the written and musical production participants were used. The results indicate that the incorporation of digital technologies of sound in the processes of musical creation leads to the discovery and expansion of new languages and codes, construction new imaginary territories and new challenges in the processes of collaborative musical composition that undoubtedly enrich all the artistic experience and the entire teaching- learning process.O objetivo do estudo é analisar as implicações das tecnologias digitais do som enquanto elemento gerador de arte sonora e ferramenta transfo...

The relationship between children's learning through music and the use of technology.pdf

This paper explores the themes of early childhood music and the use of technology. In this research the researchers observed that technology had played an important role in many of the events recorded. Observations, in the form of two Learning Stories, are presented to illustrate the use and role of technology in these recorded events. Socio/cultural theory was used to frame the research design and data consisted of direct observations, field notes, photographas, video and interviews. Analysis focused on children's musical play and an awareness of the role of technology in the musical activities observed. Within the theoretical paradigm adopted technology was viewed as a cultural, historical and social tool. Technology, as a mediating tool, was found to be connected to children's learning with the capacity to enhance and enrich their understanding of events and relationships.

Music education at the infant level through educational technology

Music education at the infant level through Educational Technology, 2021

The teaching of music at children's levels is enriched using playful didactic tools to encourage interaction between students and teachers, which has traditionally been carried out in person. However, the global health situation has forced teachers to make use of technology to continue exercising the beautiful art of teaching. The objective of this research is to expose the experience obtained in the planning of instructional design in the music class with the use of Educational Technology for the children's level, where motivation, teaching through games, as well as elements and technological resources available, both the teacher and the student, plays a very important role in the development of the class. Aspects of instructional design are offered, particularized to the teaching of music at the children's level with the use of Educational Technology that can be a useful complement to the face-to-face class, without replacing the necessary communication and face-to-face interaction of the teaching model that is developed in the classroom.

Digital Resources in the Music Education of Primary School Children20190908 111248 s0acvm

ICT in Musical Field, 2017

The paper brings to attention the importance of creating hybrid teaching strategies for the study of music. When the real, specific, tangible universe becomes limited, we can complete it with those elements of the virtual universe which are in agreement, in line with the characteristics of the human mind at a certain stage of its development. This article has two parts preceded by the Argument and followed by some Final considerations. In the first part, we shall present the universe of sounds of primary school children in the light of the special features of the age. The second part proposes a succinct analysis of the digital resources available for the music education of small school children, followed by a few examples.

THE CULTIVATION OF MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT -A DIGITAL MUSIC LESSON IN KINDERGARDEN WITH PARENTS' INPUT

European Journal of Education Studies, 2020

Formal music education influences various aspects of cognitive development such as perception, memory and language skills. There are elements that suggest that music contributes to people's mental health by having a positive impact on pregnancy and adulthood while additionally creating higher brain function in those who are familiar with music in general. This paper will refer to inquiries about the contribution of music and a digital music lesson will be presented that was held in a kindergarten classroom with the participation of parents highlighting ICT's contribution.

Analysis of musical learning experiences through the use of digital applications of students in the degree in early childhood education (2016)

ISBN: 978-84-608-5617-7 ISSN: 2340-1079 Pages: 3255-3262

The musical education of students in the degree in Early Childhood Education should consider the four perspectives of knowledge: perception (know), expression (skills), creativity (how to be) and communication (poise). On the other hand, represent valuable tools as support for improving teaching practice the attendance of ICT in all aspects of undergraduate education (organizational, curricular and methodological). The aim of this paper is to analyze what kind of musical learning experiences have been benefited by the use of digital applications, managed with different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy for the digital age (create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand and remember) as well as knowing what have meant a positive contribution to the learning outcomes. From a methodological experience based on Project-Based Learning (PBL), students have developed different educational proposals in order to meet educational resources and procedures for listening, performing and musical creation. Within the paradigm for a mixed research method two instruments were used: a) the documentary analysis of student learning portfolios b) a questionnaire to determine the type of ICT tools used. The results obtained suggest a clear positive trend for use both the ability and usability tools for the musical perceptual learning (understand and remember) and so this can be understood as strength. On the contrary, there is little permeability using applications for creative music support, this situation can be deducted as a weakness. However, deployment of resources and the creation of web environments by students, according to the different learning experiences carried out during the development of both individual and group work, has clearly encouraged autonomous learning in relation the use of the applications used.
