This book was released on 2011 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using background music on the concentration and on-task behavior of students with special needs during independent class assignments. A multiple case study approach is used to gather the data for 8 participants having different cases yet all diagnosed having problems with their concentration and attention span. Four instruments are used to collect data from different resources which are student's files and documents, parent questionnaire, student observation checklist, and student interview. Baseline data is collected for 3 consecutive weeks without music followed by an intervention period of another 3 consecutive weeks where music is played in the background. During the time students are working independently, the researcher filled the behavior charts for every student examining the amount of off-task behavior per minute and the behavior manifested when the student stops working. Results demonstrate that the introduction of music in the background has different effects on the off-task behavior of students. Six out of the eight students have a decrease in their off-task behavior during the administration of music, and two students have a negligible to minor increase in their off-task behavior during the administration of music. In general, the intervention shows that the use of music has positive implications for assignment completion rate.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Research suggests that music is beneficial in teaching both academic and social skills to young children. The purpose of this study was to compare three selected music/reading activities on second-grade students' story comprehension scores, on-task/off-task behaviors, and preferences for the three selected activities. The control condition was reading story with no music (SNM). The two experimental music conditions were: (1) reading story with choral refrain throughout (SCR) and (2) reading story with instrumental accompaniment throughout (SIA). Participants in the study were children (N=38) ages 7-8 years old, enrolled in one of three second-grade classes at a public elementary school in Northern Florida. The order of conditions was counterbalanced among the classes to control for order effects. Each class received one reading activity per week for a total of three consecutive weeks. Following each reading activity, participants were given a 10-question story comprehension test and a preference assessment. Classes were also videotaped for later analyses of on-task and off-task behaviors during each reading activity. Results indicated a significant difference in story comprehension scores among the conditions for Classes B and C. Results indicated no significant difference in story comprehension scores among the conditions for Class A. Further analyses revealed that students in two of the three classes made significantly higher comprehension scores when story reading was paired with the music conditions than the no music condition. Analysis of participants' on-task behaviors revealed the highest percentage of on-task behaviors was during music condition two (story with instrumental accompaniment), followed by music condition one (story with choral refrain). The lowest percentage of on-task behaviors was during the control condition (story with no music). Results also revealed that participants had no significant preferences for the three conditions. These findings suggest that pairing stories with music can be an effective tool in promoting second-grade students' on-task behaviors, and enhancing their story comprehension scores and their preferences for reading activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle School math students performed their typical daily math classwork with and auditory environment of either teacher chosen music, student chosen music played through individual headphones, or silence. One day each week during a six week summer session was dedicated to each of the three listening options. On the additional two days, students were free to work with headphones or in the normal classroom noise level, according to school and classroom rules. The students were attending a segregated school for students with learning differences. Their on task behavior was observed and recorded three times during each class period. Teacher selected music consisted of a mix of classical music and world music genres. Students were found to be more focused on their work when music was being played as compared to a silent environment. Key words: music, focus, special education, attention, distraction.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine if there is any relationship on reading comprehension when background classical music is played in the setting of a 7th and 8th grade classroom. This study also examined if there was a statistically significant difference in test anxiety when listening to classical music while completing a test. Reading scores were calculated using a reading comprehension test from the Item Bank and Test Platform from Miami Dade County Public School. Anxiety was calculated by using a Likert- style anxiety survey developed by Nist and Diehl (1990). The participants for this research study consisted of a sample of 40 7th grade students and 52 8th grade students. This study’s 1st research question asked if there was an effect on reading comprehension in the scores of participants in the classical background music (experimental group) versus the students with no music (control group). Data from the t-test showed inconclusive results. The data showed that 7th grade students had no significant difference in comprehension mean score, while 8th graders did show a significant difference. The 2nd research question investigated if there was a relationship between test anxieties of students who tested with classical background music versus testing with no music. Results from the t-tests concluded that there is no significant difference in test anxiety when listening to classical background music.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of background music and contingent music on the off-task behaviors of 25 adults with mental retardation. Two vocational groups were selected for the study based on the similarities of demographic information of the clients within the groups. A pre-test was implemented prior to the study to determine off-task behavior and music preference. Subjects acted as their own control and were exposed to two conditions over the course of four weeks. Condition A was the baseline background music condition. Condition B was the contingent background music condition. Data was taken by two observers who used an observational checklist to measure the behaviors of the subjects. Inter-observer reliability was 62% for the data collected by the observers. A One-way Analysis of Variance indicated a significant difference in the off-task behaviors between the contingent and continuous background music conditions where the contingent background music condition had the lower amounts of off-task behavior.
Download or read book The Relationship Between Active and Passive Music Activities and Students On task Behaviors in Fifth grade General Music Class written by Jessica Marie Bush and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether student behavior was more on-task when students were participating and engaged in active music making such as singing, dancing, moving, and playing instruments than in passive music activities such as listening, while teacher-lead instruction, and transitions between tasks. There were 142 students participating from nine fifth-grade general music classrooms at three public schools in Ohio and Michigan. There was a total of twenty-one combined music lessons of regularly scheduled music classes recorded. After each lesson, the students filled out a five-question survey about their music class experience. Each lesson was analyzed with a fixed interval on-task/off-task grid using a target male subject against rotating peers, and a target female student against the same rotating peers. The results show that when these students were actively engaged during music class by participating in music activities such as movement, dance, or playing instruments, the student behavior was more on-task. Students that did passive activities like sitting in class for longer periods of time listening to music or instruction without being active, demonstrated more off-task behavior. For example, students that were seated at their desks receiving instruction had challenges staying on-task. Students that had the opportunity to play instruments, move around the room, or dance were more on task throughout the instruction. Physical movement was an asset to on-task behavior. The students were more involved as a class when completing an activity such as bingo, dancing, or playing instruments. Of the various music activities, there was almost 100% participation for those that required movement (dance, movement, playing instruments).
