EVALUATION OF AN INDUCTIVE STRATEGY OF TEACHING MUSIC AND PROGRAMMING TO PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS by Marius Bănuț, Ion Albulescu

“…Therefore, the present study aimed to design an instructional setting according to the principles of an inductive strategy for teaching content that integrates music with computer programming, and to monitor the effects of teaching, on a long term, on three consecutive generations of fourth-grade students, measuring learning acquisitions through a Learning Achievement Test. In this framework, the students assimilated notions of music notation and formed concepts specific to music education starting from practical exercise, generating sounds electronically using programming languages and the Sonic Pi application, improvising melodies to learn through discovery the variability of sound parameters and reproducing songs from the children's universe, starting from their musical sheets and solving problems of fitting the qualities of sounds into a series of musical notation elements, based on the audio feedback obtained. …”
