Book excerpt: The effects of music on student achievement have been widely researched, but implementing rigorous programs can be expensive. Since schools are often operating on tight budgets, music programs may not be realistic additions, making low-cost options such as playing background music appealing. The purpose of this study is to answer the question: To what extent does background music affect student productivity in the elementary classroom? The researcher looked at the effects of live music and recorded music since all prior research looks at recorded background music only. Prior research found that background music has some effect on student productivity, but the field of research is still relatively unexplored. To add to the existing field of research, this convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted on 21 first-grade students from one classroom to examine how background music affected student productivity. Quantitative data was collected through student surveys and qualitative data was collected through coded observations of student behavior. Through the use of comparative analysis, common themes emerged and the results were compared to the current body of research. Results found that background music may help student productivity and that live music is marginally more successful at decreasing distractive behaviors, such as talking and touching, in comparison to recorded music. Key findings found that when students preferred a type of music, instances of off-task behavior decreased. This suggests that student productivity may increase when students are allowed to choose the music played in the background. Since student preference appears to have an effect, it is recommended that students be given headphones or earplugs when teachers play background music so they can either choose the music they like or work in relative silence. The study concluded that background music has at least a limited positive effect on student productivity. While it is compelling to think something as simple as background music may help student success, it is important to keep in mind that other factors may play a larger role. For example, teacher expertise or access to outside resources may have a greater effect on student success. Although further research is needed, it is exciting to know that background music appears to affect student productivity because it is something almost any teacher can do.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students in a fourth grade classroom at Logan Elementary School are expressing numerous types of negative behaviors, are not motivated to learn, and do not stay on-task. In an effort to change these students, an action research study was conducted that implemented background music in the classroom. There were ten fourth grade students who participated in the study. The study was conducted over a course of three weeks. The researcher focused on four main points: does background music increase student motivation, positive behavior, relaxation, and staying on-task. The results suggest that the overall class met the project's main points. Implementing background music in the fourth grade classroom at Logan Elementary School has proven to be an effective tool.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has suggested that playing classical music in the classroom can be a beneficial tool in improving academic performance, student attitudes, and student behavior. In this study, high school students in two special education English classrooms received regular instruction while music was played at a low level in the background. Academic performance, student attitudes, and student behavior were observed and analyzed over appoximately a four week period, two weeks with background music being played in the classroom and two weeks without background music. The students were given pre and post music option surveys, observed for changes in behavior, and given daily assignments to measure academic performance changes. Analysis of data was based on classroom observations, opinion surveys, and teacher scoring of the daily Simple Solutions English assignments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This qualitative action research study investigated the experiences of incorporating different genres of music into the classroom environment during math and journal writing. The three genres of music implemented into the classroom were classical, jazz, and Disney. Eighteen first graders participated in this study conducted at a high-achieving elementary school. Throughout the study, the researcher maintained an organized field log, while conducting and analyzing observations, student work, surveys, and interviews. These data were gathered and compared to show which genre of music produced the best work habits and classroom behaviors. Findings suggest that when any genre of music is incorporated into the classroom, positive peer interactions increase. These interactions created a learning-enriched environment. Analysis revealed that with jazz music, students exhibited diligent work habits. However, classical and Disney music produced more off-task behaviors. Overall, with the implementation of background music, students produced detailed journal writing and achieved proficient scores on math tests.

Book excerpt: "Music may offer a beneficial outcome on task performance for students, particularly those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The current study expands upon research indicating a facilitative effect of music on task performance for children diagnosed with ADHD (Abikoff, Szeibel & Koplewicz, 1996). Forty general education students from 2 fifth grade classrooms completed a listening comprehension task and a visual-scanning task under two background conditions: typical classroom noise and a classical instrumental music selection. Results were compared for students with low and high levels of attentiveness per teacher ratings. Further study may result in a possible positive effect with extended intervention use"--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of background music use have long been studied. The results in general education settings have been equivocal but the benefits for students with special education needs cannot be denied. According to research, background music can have a positive effect on students with learning disabilities, students with ADHD, students with emotional disturbance, and also students with autism. In a general education classroom, music can be used to improve mood and result in an increase in academic achievement. The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which background music is being used in general education classrooms while also discovering why teachers use background music. Many teachers are using music in their classrooms with the benefits, as described by the teachers, being increased task attendance, better focus, and happier, more positive environments. However, most teachers are not aware of the research involving music so it can be assumed that their use of background music is primarily because of the positive effects that they perceive. More importantly, teachers indicated that they would be willing to increase their background music use if lists were compiled for them for different beneficial effects. In the future, background music could be used as a tool to benefit all students in an inclusive classroom.

Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.
