Blended Learning and Sustainability in Music Education: Motivation to Learn

摘要

Music Education is one domain that has traditionally taken place in a face-to-face mode. E-Learning has had an enormous impact on higher education yet there has been only limited application of E-Learning to Music Education. Many teachers consider the E-learning impossible to use with own musical discipline: the main problem is that they don't know this new instrument and its potentialities. This paper presents the research which took place at musical classes in the third grade of high school. The experimental group implemented besides classical didactic materials for class learning also the interactive computerized environment OpenSounds. The results have shown a motivation for learning in the computerised environment and statistically significant higher results achieved by the experimental group in the area of theory, analysis and composition.
