Pupils' views on introducing ICT into music lessons

Sicherl Kafol, Barbara (author), Lango, Jože (author)

Contemporary school changes bring new didactic forms and methods including information technology (ICT). The pupil and the active learning process are put into the centre of attention. According to the constructivist paradigm of teaching and learning the focus is on the collaborative learning and individual learning pace of progression, all of which affect pupil’s learning motivation. Within the theoretical concepts, we present research findings, in which we studied the introducing of ICT into music lessons in Slovenian Primary school in Slovenia, with the pupils, aged of 10. The results of the experimental group, in which the teaching of music education carried out using the computer program Finale Note Pad, showed that pupils are generally inclined towards the use of ICT. At the end of the experiment, there were significant effects in the category »success aspiration« and »interest in computers« which both achieved higher ratings, while the effects on two other dimensions »fear and stress« and »achievement motivation« have not proved.
