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.

The sample consisted of Instrumental students (N = 50) and Noninstrumental music students (N = 50) over 2 graduated high school classes. The results indicated that the Instrumental music sample consistently outscored the Noninstrumental music sample when comparing the Reading B, Mathematics M.C.1, M.D.2, and M.E.1 subsections of the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment with significant increases noted from 8th to 11th grade.

Book The Effects of Music on Reading Comprehension

Download or read book The Effects of Music on Reading Comprehension written by Özlem Erten and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of listening to music while reading on reading comprehension performance. The participants of this study were made up of 129 eighth grade students. The study was modeled by the randomized posttest-only control group design. A Music Appreciation Test and A Reading Comprehension Test, originally developed by the researcher, were used to determine the students' music preferences and reading comprehension performance, respectively. The results showed that the reading comprehension performance of the students who read the passage with their non-favored non-verbal music, non-favored verbal music, and favored verbal music were significantly poorer than those students who did not listen music while reading the same passage. Importantly, the current results also demonstrated that the reading comprehension performance of the students who listened to their favored instrumental music while reading did not considerably differ from the reading comprehension performance of those who did not listen to music.
