Evaluation of Comprehensive Services of an Online Learning Platform Based on Artificial Intelligence

With the college students having increasing needs for learning diversified knowledge and skills, online learning platforms for essential qualities enhancement have emerged one by one. However, due to lack of feedbacks from students, the comprehensive service quality of these platforms varies greatly. Therefore, it has certain practical significance to study how to evaluate the comprehensive services of online learning platforms. The current evaluation models are not suitable for online learning platforms, nor have they fully considered the dynamic and subjective feedbacks of students about their experience. To this end, this paper takes an online music education platform as an example and studies the evaluation on the comprehensive services of the online learning platform. First, the overall architecture design of an online learning platform for essential qualities enhancement was displayed, and the teacher-student interaction mode for the comprehensive services of the online learning platform was identified and analyzed. Then, the derivation process of the evaluation model was presented, the evaluation indicator system for the comprehensive service quality of the online learning platform constructed, and the comprehensive service evaluation model for the online learning platform consisting of the hierarchical model and the rough set-neural network evaluation model established. The experimental results verified the effectiveness of the constructed indicator system and evaluation model.

Students' Attitudes Toward Online Music Education During the COVID 19 Lockdown.

Given the current pandemic context generated by COVID 19, important changes in the way specific subjects to music education are taught emerged, affecting not only the particularities of learning and teaching in individual courses, but also the other courses regarding group learning or theoretical subjects. In this time, emergency remote teaching and learning requires cross-collaboration between instructional, content, and technological teams. Our research examines the students' attitudes toward online education, also presenting proposals for optimization and efficiency. The research was undertaken after an experience of a University semester in a lockdown context, and it aimed at undergraduate and master's degree students from music faculties in Romania. An important result was the mediating role of perceived utility of e-learning methods, perceived utility mediated the associations between compatibility of online methods and satisfaction toward the use of e-learning methods. The perceived compatibility of e-Learning methods with online music education led to a higher perceived utility which, in turn, predicted a higher satisfaction toward e-Learning Although this period accentuated the fear of interaction with others, the anxiety related to the unknown, the intolerance of uncertainty did not predict the satisfaction toward the use of e-learning platforms. In conclusion, more educational initiatives are needed to promote remote teaching methods in music education. In the absence of similar research in our country, we considered that future research on this topic is needed.

Self-Determination Theory for Motivation in Distance Music Education

Many researchers have discussed the feasibility of teaching and learning practical skills, such as playing a musical instrument, through distance education. One of the central issues considered in music education is that of motivation, leading educators to wonder how students might remain motivated when learning music at a distance. In this article, I use self-determination theory (SDT) as a lens for examining existing literature on distance music education to identify elements of learning environments that may contribute to, or detract from, the fulfillment of students’ psychological needs. I oriented my reading of the literature toward offering insights on the nature of motivation in online music education and providing educators with tools informed by SDT to maintain and nurture motivation when teaching music online.

Covid-19 and Online Music Education: A Qualitative Study on the Views of Preschool Teacher Candidates

: This study aims to examine distance music education practices in the pandemic period in line with the opinions of pre-school teacher candidates. The study, in which the single case study design, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used, was carried out with 22 preschool teacher candidates studying at the Kafkas University, Turkey. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form created by the researchers in line with expert opinions. The obtained data were collected under different themes and analyzed with content analysis. The results of the study showed that the acquisitions made by the preschool teacher candidates during distance music education were mainly based on a theoretical foundation. It was found that the greatest practical deficiency occurred in learning a musical instrument.The participants mostly expressed their views on saving time and space as the positive aspects of distance education. On the other hand, negative results were also obtained, such as the inadequacy of mutual communication in the distance education process, the lack of infrastructure in practice, and the limited course time. In future studies, it is recommended to implement synchronized applications, especially for instrument training, by supporting online materials.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Air dust pollution and online music teaching effect based on heterogeneous wireless network

This article first introduces management technology and handover technology in heterogeneous wireless networks and summarizes common network access selection strategies and algorithms. Aiming at the shortcomings of long switching delay in existing fuzzy logic network selection algorithms, a low-complexity fuzzy logic-based heterogeneous wireless network access selection algorithm is proposed. Therefore, this paper uses the WRF-Chem model of the Urban Forest Consortium to carry out a numerical simulation study on the air and dust pollution of mountain city L. Combining the single-layer urban forest model with the WRF-Chem model, this model has an improved simulation function after testing, which can simulate the air pollution process in the L city center and analyze the factors of the urban canopy on the distribution of atmospheric dust pollutants and influences. Finally, we have conducted a comprehensive research on the educational effects of online music education. With the rapid development of Internet communication technology, online education has gradually become popular with the public. As a part of it, online music teaching has also been rapidly developed and promoted. It breaks the time and space limitations of traditional music education and is changing the way and concept of music learners.

Mindfulness and Online Music for Channeling Stress in Primary School Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Spain

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared an international pandemic state of emergency, in the face of the public health crisis caused by COVID-19. Since that day, Spaniards have faced the situation of confinement in their homes, while sanitary containment measures have restricted mobility, reducing economic and social activity, in addition to paralyzing productive work in numerous sectors. In these circumstances the scope of which cannot be predicted in all its consequences and dimensions as of now, one of the most affected social sectors has been the population of children, adolescents and young people. At this point, this sector has been affected in its educational work, as well as in leisure time activities, having been deprived of the social interactions necessary for the process of socialization and formation of personality. Based on the aforementioned situation, when an important record was detected on the levels of stress, anxiety and behavioral problems, it was seen fit to implement Mindfulness and Music Education sessions online, with the main objective of channeling the problems of behavior, stress and anxiety generated by confinement through an online methodology. The dynamics was studied with primary school students in Madrid. In order to evaluate the impact of this interventional action, a quasi-experimental design was structured from the methodological point of view, establishing the application of Mindfulness and Online Music Education sessions as an independent variable, and changes as a dependent variable, behavior, stress and anxiety. Next, an incidental non-probabilistic sampling was established, with a total of 130 participants (77% girls and 23% boys), with the mean age of the children of 9.407 (DT = 2.393), 100% of whom were Primary Education students. The following social networks were used as tools for communication and socio-digital interaction: WhatsApp, Zoom and Instagram, in order to implement the exercises used in the MindfulnessBased Stress Reduction (MBSR) program by Kabat-Zinn (1979) of the activities of the Musical Education area corresponding to Primary Education, while for data collection an adaptation of the questionnaire “Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire” (FFMQ) by Baer et al. (2006), as well as the JASP 0.13.1 application, SPSS and an excel spreadsheet for processing. Regarding the results and the main objectives, the attempt was made to channel the level of stress and anxiety among the participants, in terms of behavioral problems, achieving a partial reduction. In this way, and based on inferential statistics, the presence of a strong positive linear correlation between age, conceived as a quantitative ratio variable, and online sessions, as the independent variable is deduced, resulting in 0.979. As a recommendation for future work, a larger sample must be taken in order to establish more general results, reinforce the guidelines dictated to teachers both to carry out Mindfulness and Music Education activities online and establish criteria for inclusion and exclusion. Keywords: Mindfulness, Music Education, COVID-19 and Online Music, digital divide, stress and anxiety.

The promise and challenge of online action research: Notes from a study of self-motivated online music learners

As a developer of online open education resources that provide basic information about Western music theory, notation, and acoustics, I undertook an action research project with the long-term goal of creating resources that were more accessible, particularly to independent learners pursuing their own music-making goals. In order to better understand the situations and perspectives of real-world learner stakeholders, I sought participants among the self-motivated users of my open education resources, offering active help in designing and carrying out inquiries based on their goals. Eleven long-term participants provided insights that have subsequently affected my efforts to design more accessible open education resources, but the course of the study also revealed tensions and challenges related to the online action research methodology. I have reported elsewhere the study results as they relate to online music education. This paper focuses on action research issues raised in the course of the study, including open versus closed online actions, reaching disadvantaged communities and learners, and consciousness-raising at a distance.

Rethinking teaching and learning pedagogy for education in the twenty-first century: blended learning in music education
