Investigating effective practice in teaching instrumental music via videoconferencing to students aged 8 to 12 - dataset

Using a social constructivist theoretical framework, this study investigated the teaching and learning of instrumental music lessons through videoconferencing to children aged 8 to 12.Student participants were selected from a Canberra private school and divided into the 8-10 and 11-12 age groups. Both age groups were given level-appropriate musical scales and repertoires to practice in four 30-minute lessons over a course of four weeks. Student learning behaviours and learning outcomes were documented and used to develop effective teaching strategies for teaching instrumental music via videoconferencing.Ultimately, both age groups displayed comparable levels of achievement and positive learning behaviours, suggesting that there were no major differences between the 8-10 and 11-12 age groups.

本研究以社会建构主义理论框架为基础，探究了通过视频会议向8至12岁儿童开展器乐教学的过程与效果。研究参与者为堪培拉某私立学校的学生，被划分为8-10岁和11-12岁两个年龄组。两组学生在四周内接受了四次30分钟的课程，练习与各自水平相匹配的音阶和曲目。研究记录了学生的学习行为与成果，并据此制定了适用于视频会议器乐教学的有效策略。最终，两组学生在成就水平和积极学习行为方面表现相近，表明8-10岁与11-12岁年龄组之间未存在显著差异。
