Transformación de la introspección educativa: evaluación de la situación actual y el desarrollo de la educación musical básica en China

Abstract: Chinese basic music education has always played an important role in cultivating students’ aesthetic taste and improving their cultural literacy. However, under the background of rapid social and economic development, and cultural diversification, basic music education is also facing new challenges and opportunities. In the past, music education generally paid attention to skill training and emphasized the inheritance of classic works, but the demand for music education in today’s society puts more emphasis on creativity, comprehensive quality and personality development. Therefore, it is of great practical and theoretical significance to study the current situation and development of basic music education in China and discuss the problems and prospects. Through in-depth research on the current situation of basic music education in China, we can comprehensively understand the main characteristics, existing problems, teachers, teaching materials, facilities and other aspects of current music education. This will help to reveal the bottlenecks and deficiencies in the education system and provide a basis for formulating more scientific and rational education policies. The policy of basic music education in China is being influenced by research on educational philosophy, particularly when it comes to providing theoretical and ideological support for the creation of new national curriculum standards for basic music education. It would have a significant effect on China’s fundamental musical education. Therefore, it is essential to carry out in-depth research on the state of play and the evolution of China’s fundamental educational concept for music. In recent years, Chinese basic music education has gradually paid attention to cultivating students’ creativity and comprehensive quality. Music is not only a skill, but also an art that helps cultivate students’ creative thinking and comprehensive development.

Unleashing Creative Synergies: A Mixed-Method Case Study in Music Education Classrooms

Algorithmic music composition has been gaining prominence and recognition as an innovative approach to music education, providing students with opportunities to explore creativity, computational thinking, and musical knowledge. This study aims to investigate the impact of integrating algorithmic music composition in the classroom, examining its influence on student engagement, musical knowledge, and creative expression, as well as to enhance computational thinking skills. A mixed-method case study was conducted in three Basic Music Education classrooms in the north of Portugal, involving 71 participants (68 students and 3 music teachers). The results reveal: (i) both successes and challenges in integrating computational thinking concepts and practices; (ii) pedagogical benefits of integrating programming platforms, where programming concepts overlapped with music learning outcomes; and (iii) positive impact on participants’ programming self-confidence and recognition of programming’s importance. Integrating algorithmic music composition in the classroom positively influences student engagement, musical knowledge, and creative expression. The use of algorithmic techniques provides a novel and engaging platform for students to explore music composition, fostering their creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration skills. Educators can leverage algorithmic music composition as an effective pedagogical approach to enhance music education, allowing students to develop a deeper understanding of music theory and fostering their artistic expression. Future research should contribute to the successful integration of digital technologies in the Portuguese curriculum by further exploring the long-term effects and potential applications of algorithmic music composition in different educational contexts.

Simulation and Characteristic analysis of college music teaching based on nonlinear equation

Abstract In order to understand the nonlinear equation, the author puts forward a research on college music teaching simulation and feature analysis. In the basic music education, the main form of music education is classroom teaching.

Psychology Education Reform and Quality Cultivation of College Music Major From the Perspective of Entrepreneurship Education.

With the continuous development of the times, music education in primary and secondary schools is constantly innovating in terms of teaching concepts, teaching methods, and implementation methods. The reform of basic music education has aroused the reflection of music teacher education in colleges and universities, and the talent training model of music teachers has become a hot issue that has been widely concerned in the new era. To explore the educational significance and influencing factors of entrepreneurship education in college music education and examine the mediating role of self-efficacy and gender adjustment in entrepreneurial education, based on the analysis of music education and entrepreneurial talent training in colleges and universities, a questionnaire survey, statistics, and data processing were adopted in this work. In this work, a path model was established based on the mediating effect and the moderating effect, and the equation model was tested. The results show that music education has a positive correlation with entrepreneurial self-efficacy and a negative correlation with entrepreneurial intention, which has not been proved to have a certain effect on entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a positive correlation with entrepreneurial intention, and the mediating effect between music professional education and entrepreneurial intention has also been proved. Since there are gender differences and certain stereotypes that cannot be ignored in music education learning, gender adjustment also has a certain influence on entrepreneurial self-efficacy based on music professional education, thereby having a moderating effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education can improve the comprehensive competitiveness of students. As a result, entrepreneurship education can improve the innovation and entrepreneurship education model and the music education system in colleges and universities by combining with the relationship between entrepreneurial efficacy and intention, and it contributes to the overall cultivation of talent in colleges and universities.

Training of future teacher of music to research activity based on competency approach

The publication highlights the interconnection of research students’ activities and structural elements of their professional competence: personal, that reveals knowledge, experience in national and universal culture, shows values and artistic worldview; social, that is related to the environment, social life and social activities; subjective, that reproduces integration of professional artistic, professional performing, psychological and educational activity; methasubjective, that concerns creativity and usage of the system of methods of professional self-improvement and self-organization. Despite the fact that research work is the priority area in the educational process of the higher educational institutions of artistic direction, the problem of involving first-year students of I-II accreditation educational institutions to research work is still out of scientists’ sight. The analysis of first-year students’ basic music education has been carried out and it showed different levels not only of their musical knowledge but also of musical performing and auditory experience. The current disadvantages of the training process of future music teachers is outlined: professional training outruns the process of a teacher-researcher training; research credentials of such disciplines as "Main musical instrument", "Voice training", "Choral Conducting", "Additional musical instrument" is not used to the full extent. The main attention is paid to the reasoning of the choice of the mini-investigation as a form of first-year students’ involvement into research activities; the topic "Literary texts of vocal works by L Beethoven "Malynovka" in verse of G. Bürger and "Babak" in verse of J. Goethe" was chosen; the object, the subject, the objectives, methods and practical meaning of mini-investigation were determined; single-step objectives of the study aims realization were examined. The result of the work was the performance of vocal works in the original language. It is established that the implementation of mini-investigation into the educational process has led to a positive influence on the incidence of professional competence not only for the student, but also for a teacher.

«Пятиминутка композиторов»: методика оценки продуктивности вербальной памяти для системы начального музыкального образования

The paper addresses the need for developing criteria-based diagnostic tools for quick individual and group evaluation of musical knowledge in children within the system of basic music education. The proposed technique called “Five Minutes of Composers” allows one to evaluate musical knowledge in a single child, in a whole class or in an educational organisation. The paper provides a full description of the technique and the process of its standartisation: stanines and corresponding normative values are assigned to each age group; the differential validity of the technique is statistically proven for the factors "gender", "stage of education", "age", and "total productivity". The outcomes of the conducted study show the following: the average level of productivity is significantly higher in girls; this level is significantly higher in students of 6th and 7th classes as compared to students of 3rd—5th classes; there is a direct correlation between age and productivity of recall; children with high levels of productivity outscore others in the number of recalled names of composers right from the start. The paper concludes with some remarks concerning the possibilities of using this technique for measuring the progress in children’s musical knowledge, for criteria-based comparative analysis of the quality of teaching, and for evaluating the quality of music education in single classes and educational organisations in general.

The music educator: Bridging performance, community and education – An instrumental teacher’s professional understanding

Abstract In this article I discuss the professional understanding of an instrumental music teacher with multiple tasks in basic music education in Norway. This teacher is positioned in a small Community School of Music and Art that has been honoured as a ‘best practice’ model for such schools. Through thematic narrative analyses of my research data, I identify three pivots in this teacher’s practice: cultural life, school and artefacts. After the researcher’s narrative, A music teacher’s working day, I explore these pivots in a theoretical frame inspired by Hans-Georg Gadamer’s thoughts about sensus communis, and Christopher Small’s thoughts about musicking. Finally, I apply insights from this discussion to basic thinking in the blurred field of community music and music education, suggesting musicality as an approach to articulate and discuss expertise and as a mandate that music teachers in crossover positions might hold.
