Abstract

Background

This research aimed at investigating the effectiveness of online digital audio software Logic Pro X and offline audio studios in creating an original folk-style track. The goal was to define the more effective method for the perspective and quality of musical compositions that students create during learning.

Objectives

This research enrolled 207 students from Hubei Polytechnic University, who were randomised to the control and experimental groups.

Methods

Within one month, each participant created a folk song using software or an offline university studio, where sound editing and processing programmes were not employed. The author's questionnaire Scale of perspective and expert evaluation were used as metric methods.

Results and Conclusions

The data obtained showed that both methods do not differ both in terms of perspective and in terms of the overall quality of the created tracks (p ≥ 0.05). As quality criteria, the experts considered such scales as pitch accuracy, rhythmic accuracy, tone quality and expression, articulation, dynamics, interpretation, phrasing, creativity, arrangement, and overall performance. This research showed that online digital audio software can be an effective tool in music education, just like offline studios, in terms of skill development and practice.

在线数字音频软件和离线音频工作室在音乐教育中培养中国民族音乐创作能力的效果分析

背景本研究旨在调查在线数字音频软件 Logic Pro X 和离线音频工作室在创作原创民谣风格曲目方面的有效性。目的是为学生在学习过程中创作音乐作品的视角和质量确定更有效的方法。目标本次研究共招募了 207 名湖北工业大学的学生，将他们随机分为对照组和实验组。方法在一个月内，每位受试者使用软件或线下大学工作室创作一首民歌，工作室不使用声音编辑和处理程序。采用作者的调查问卷《视角量表》和专家评价作为衡量方法。结果与结论所获数据显示，两种方法在视角和所创作曲目的整体质量方面均无差异（p ≥ 0.05）。作为质量标准，专家们考虑的尺度包括音准、节奏准确性、音质和表现力、发音、动态、诠释、乐句、创造性、编曲和整体表现。这项研究表明，在线数字音频软件可以成为音乐教育的有效工具，就像离线工作室一样，在技能培养和练习方面发挥重要作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Computer Assisted Learning is an international peer-reviewed journal which covers the whole range of uses of information and communication technology to support learning and knowledge exchange. It aims to provide a medium for communication among researchers as well as a channel linking researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. JCAL is also a rich source of material for master and PhD students in areas such as educational psychology, the learning sciences, instructional technology, instructional design, collaborative learning, intelligent learning systems, learning analytics, open, distance and networked learning, and educational evaluation and assessment. This is the case for formal (e.g., schools), non-formal (e.g., workplace learning) and informal learning (e.g., museums and libraries) situations and environments. Volumes often include one Special Issue which these provides readers with a broad and in-depth perspective on a specific topic. First published in 1985, JCAL continues to have the aim of making the outcomes of contemporary research and experience accessible. During this period there have been major technological advances offering new opportunities and approaches in the use of a wide range of technologies to support learning and knowledge transfer more generally. There is currently much emphasis on the use of network functionality and the challenges its appropriate uses pose to teachers/tutors working with students locally and at a distance. JCAL welcomes: -Empirical reports, single studies or programmatic series of studies on the use of computers and information technologies in learning and assessment -Critical and original meta-reviews of literature on the use of computers for learning -Empirical studies on the design and development of innovative technology-based systems for learning -Conceptual articles on issues relating to the Aims and Scope
