Abstract
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are tools that are part of the process of teaching and learning music. These didactic/pedagogical resources are widely used by teachers. They strengthen, motivate, and increase the student’s interest in learning. This study is an action-research (AR). It involves 12 teachers and 68 students in the subject of music education in an Ecuadorian university. A Holistic and Technological Model of Music Education (HTMME) was generated. The performance of the plan was evaluated by means of an original questionnaire and qualitative work. The AR procedure involved an analysis of data at the end of each implementation cycle. The appreciation of the new model was very positive. With the methodology implemented, new teaching experiences and relevant learning for students were achieved. Learning music with ICT induces creative-musical processes in students.
Highlights
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are techniques, developments and devices, information carriers, and communication channels that integrate functionalities of storage, processing, and transmission of digitized information [1].With ICT, a change has been cultivated in today’s higher education
The implementation of music with ICT allows a great change in musical creation [4]
Among the main barriers the following were identified, limitations or opportunities for improvement identified before the application of the model for the achievement of the competences provided by music education (Figure 1, Table 2), teacher attitude, didactics/pedagogy and technological support and, to a lesser extent, quality of hardware, class timetable, and infrastructure
Summary
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are techniques, developments and devices (software and hardware), information carriers, and communication channels that integrate functionalities of storage, processing, and transmission of digitized information [1]. With ICT, a change has been cultivated in today’s higher education. The teacher can be an architect and mediator of knowledge [2] and the student a builder of a whole amalgam of wisdom [3]. The implementation of music with ICT allows a great change in musical creation [4]. Advances are produced in the practices of composition and musical creation as stated below. These practices can be brought into the processes of teaching and learning [5]
