Book The correlation between music aptitude and mathematical achievements of students  A case study of six individual students from a High School in Johannesburg  South Africa

This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2023 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, grade: Distinction, University of Venda, course: PhD in Arts and Social Sciences, language: English, abstract: A gap existed in the literature focusing on research overall between music aptitude and mathematical achievement within a South African context. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of music aptitude on mathematical achievement and to evaluate the most appropriate instruments for measuring musical talents and juxtaposing them with mathematical achievement using Gordon's AMMA tool to establish the connection between musical acumen and mathematical achievement in randomly selected learners. This study presented data that is now available for use by other researchers. The researcher used exploratory designs to generalise, assess, and test qualitative exploratory results, and to see if they could be generalised to a sample and a population as outlined in this dissertation. This research was evaluated in both qualitative and quantitative phases. The researcher focussed on how students of different ages, gender, intelligence levels, and musical abilities reacted to the AMMA (music aptitude test). The researcher was intrigued to see that most of the music students in the secondary school could compose with ease without prior knowledge of composition thus demonstrating an excellent theoretical background, which was prevalent in his discussions with colleagues. Having studied the previous school curriculum, they were exposed to since their childhood in primary school, the researcher could not find any relevant material linked to composition, form, structure or even analysis. Conversations with colleagues in the mathematical department revealed that the same students were doing extremely well academically in their mathematical subjects. This raised further questions for the researcher; was this merely a coincidence or was this increase in academic achievement due to the impact of their music studies? Most parents in the community encouraged their children to attend private schools and went out of their way financially to provide for a good education reinforcing good will and intentions to foster a brighter future for these learners. For students to achieve excellent results, aptitude played a prominent role in their musical development.

Book The Relationship Between Music and Visual Arts Formal Study and Academic Achievement on the Eighth Grade Louisiana Educational Assessment Program  LEAP  Test

Download or read book The Relationship Between Music and Visual Arts Formal Study and Academic Achievement on the Eighth Grade Louisiana Educational Assessment Program LEAP Test written by Richard Allen Baker (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the policy implications allowing administrators to exempt a student from required arts instruction if the student obtained unsatisfactory scores on the high-stake state mandated tests in English and mathematics. This study examined English language arts and math test scores for 37,222 eighth grade students enrolled in music and/or visual arts classes and those students not enrolled in arts courses. There were more than 12,000 students who were eligible, but not enrolled in arts courses. Methodology consisted of comparing the mean scores of students receiving music and visual arts instruction with the mean scores of students excluded from this instruction. The sample consisted of all non-special education students who took the statewide assessment spring 2008 in public schools. Students enrolled in music had significantly higher mean scores than those not enrolled in music where (p less than 0.001). Music enrollment was a positive predictor of academic achievement. Results for visual arts and dual arts were not as conclusive. The study found a lack of evidence supporting the exclusion of students from required arts instruction for the purpose of increasing test scores in English and math. The conclusions were that students enrolled in music perform significantly better; there is an access gap; and arts should be included in the curriculum of all middle school students. More study is required for visual arts, dual arts study, as well as, dance and theatre effects. Future research is required as to academic effectiveness of remediation implemented during the instructional day, thereby denying arts instruction to students. School Performance Scores must reflect all components of the curriculum to be valid. Instructional time in the arts must be enforced if all students are to receive a whole, effective, and relevant education. The practice of recommending more time in English and math in lieu of music for students should be reexamined. Administrators should construct schedules, including appropriate attention, so that all students receive a balanced whole education.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Assessment Policy and Practice in Music Education  Volume 1

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Assessment Policy and Practice in Music Education Volume 1 written by Timothy S. Brophy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the music classroom, instructors who hope to receive aid are required to provide data on their classroom programs. Due to the lack of reliable, valid large-scale assessments of student achievement in music, however, music educators in schools that accept funds face a considerable challenge in finding a way to measure student learning in their classrooms. From Australia to Taiwan to the Netherlands, music teachers experience similar struggles in the quest for a definitive assessment resource that can be used by both music educators and researchers. In this two-volume Handbook, contributors from across the globe come together to provide an authority on the assessment, measurement, and evaluation of student learning in music. The Handbook's first volume emphasizes international and theoretical perspectives on music education assessment in the major world regions. This volume also looks at technical aspects of measurement in music, and outlines situations where theoretical foundations can be applied to the development of tests in music. The Handbook's second volume offers a series of practical and US-focused approaches to music education assessment. Chapters address assessment in different types of US classrooms; how to assess specific skills or requirements; and how assessment can be used in tertiary and music teacher education classrooms. Together, both volumes of The Oxford Handbook of Assessment in Music Education pave the way forward for music educators and researchers in the field.
