Abstract

This article presents the most relevant results of a work focused on the perception of perception of Primary teachers about digital musical didactic materials. The study, of a descriptive and interpretive character, is developed through the application of a semi-structured interview to a sample of teachers who teach in primary education in five Galician educational centers of different ownerships. The dimensions under analysis refer to: assessment and teaching use regarding digital musical didactic materials. The results show, on the one hand, the need to improve the quality of didactic and musical materials in order to take full advantage of the potential related to image, music and movement to help students become the protagonist of the process teaching-learning, and on the other hand, the lack of initial and continuous training of teachers on the use of digital musical didactic materials. The teaching staff highly considers the creation of communication networks and exchange of experiences and musical digital didactic materials. The research also includes some recommendations about the educational measures to be taken by institutions and professionals involved in the process of designing and using digital materials.
