Ethnic music integration on students’ attention deficit in music education

Abstract

BackgroundAttention deficit in students has a negative impact on their learning and development. The integration of ethnic music and music education provides a diversified and comprehensive music education model, which may have a positive impact on students’ attention deficit.Subjects and MethodsThe study selected students from a school as the research subjects and divided them into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received integrated music education for ethnic music, including learning traditional and ethnic music, participating in instrument performance and choir singing, etc; The control group continued to receive traditional music education. To clarify the grouping, we use a random sampling method to randomly assign students to two groups. The study collected data on students’ attention ratings and academic performance as research indicators and used SPSS 23.0 statistical software for data processing and analysis.ResultsIn the experimental results, the attention score of the experimental group students significantly improved. The attention score of the experimental group students increased from an initial 6.7 to 8.9, while the attention score of the control group students increased from an initial 7.2 to 7.6. In addition, the academic performance of the experimental group students also showed a significant improvement trend, with math scores increasing from the initial 70 to 80 and Chinese language scores increasing from the initial 75 to 85.ConclusionsResearch can effectively improve students’ attention level and concentration ability through diversified and comprehensive music education models.
