MOTIVATION AND LEARNING RESULTS IN MUSIC EDUCATION RELATED TO BLENDED LEARNING

Abstract

A b s t r a c t Computerised environment is a learning environment which is often used in primary schools. The specifics of teaching and learning supported by computers are particularly interesting from the point of view of research into blended learning. Blended learning means combining various methods as well as teaching and learning modalities and also combining classical learning with computerised environment learning. In the newly created system of learning environments it is a challenge to recognise and understand connections between motivation, learning results and learning performance. Our contribution deals with the research which took place at musical classes in the third grade of primary school. The experimental group implemented besides classical didactic materials for class learning also the interactive computerised environment Musical Image Format, Rhythm. The results have shown a motivation for learning in the computerised environment and statistically significant higher results achieved by the experimental group in the areas of musical rhythm and metrum.
