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 2014-12-10 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music therapy has been researched and found to have a calming relaxing effect on students who fear large crowds, especially in classrooms. Music therapy has been proven to have a calming effect on those students who display signs of distress, or who have been diagnosed with psychological or physiological disorders. Some students show stress when taking tests. Research has proven that music significantly reduces stressful behaviors in these students. Background music has proven to have a positive effect on students who are assigned to inclusion classes. Music has been used as an effective intervention for maintaining and improving active involvement, social, emotional and cognitive skills. Music therapy has had positive effects on these students who deal with psychological stressors or physiological complications. Thus, it has been researched and proven that students who receive music therapy over a long period of time have a success rate that is higher than those students who receive music therapy over a shorter period. Long-term music therapy indicates that music sessions were most effective in increasing self-control, relaxation and comfort levels inside the classroom, allowing more time for teaching.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Child as Musician written by Gary E. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of The Child as Musician: A Handbook of Musical Development celebrates the richness and diversity of the many different ways in which children can engage in and interact with music. It presents theory - both cutting edge and classic - in an accessible way for readers by surveying research concerned with the development and acquisition of musical skills. The focus is on musical development from conception to late adolescences, although the bulk of the coverage concentrates on the period when children are able to begin formal music instruction (from around age 3) until the final year of formal schooling (around age 18). There are many conceptions of how musical development might take place, just as there are for other disciplines and areas of human potential. Consequently, the publication highlights the diversity in current literature dealing with how we think about and conceptualise children's musical development. Each of the authors has searched for a better and more effective way to explain in their own words and according to their own perspective, the remarkable ways in which children engage with music. In the field of educational psychology there are a number of publications that survey the issues surrounding child and adolescent development. Some of the more innovative present research and theories, and their educational implications, in a style that stresses the fundamental interplay among the biological, environmental, social and cultural influences at each stage of a child's development. Until now, no similar overview has existed for child and adolescent development in the field of music. The Child as Musician addresses this imbalance, and is essential for those in the fields of child development, music education, and music cognition.

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. Appended to this document are: (1) Classroom Observation Form; (2) Music Survey; (3) Background Music in the Classroom Student Exit Survey; (4) Student Interview #1; (5) Student Interview #2; (6) Student Interview #3; (7) Notes--Comments from Students about Background Music.

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.

Download or read book Working Memory Capacity written by Nelson Cowan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of one's memory "filling up" is a humorous misconception of how memory in general is thought to work; it actually has no capacity limit. However, the idea of a "full brain" makes more sense with reference to working memory, which is the limited amount of information a person can hold temporarily in an especially accessible form for use in the completion of almost any challenging cognitive task. This groundbreaking book explains the evidence supporting Cowan's theoretical proposal about working memory capacity, and compares it to competing perspectives. Cognitive psychologists profoundly disagree on how working memory is limited: whether by the number of units that can be retained (and, if so, what kind of units and how many), the types of interfering material, the time that has elapsed, some combination of these mechanisms, or none of them. The book assesses these hypotheses and examines explanations of why capacity limits occur, including vivid biological, cognitive, and evolutionary accounts. The book concludes with a discussion of the practical importance of capacity limits in daily life. This 10th anniversary Classic Edition will continue to be accessible to a wide range of readers and serve as an invaluable reference for all memory researchers.
