Abstract
This study explored Korean music teachers’ use of technology and views on integrating technology into music classrooms. Using a mixed methods approach, the researchers administered a survey to 105 music teachers and conducted semi-structured interviews with five music teachers. The results showed that about one-fourth of survey respondents indicated that they rarely incorporate music technology when teaching singing and playing, and generally, music teachers reported that they use music technology infrequently for main class activities. In addition, these Korean music teachers demonstrated limited knowledge of fourth industrial revolution smart technologies, despite viewing AI and the metaverse as potentially helpful for music teaching. Notably, this study found that music teachers consider it necessary to utilize music technologies that enable them to broaden the scope of music curricula.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Music Education (IJME) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Society for Music Education (ISME) four times a year. Manuscripts published are scholarly works, representing empirical research in a variety of modalities. They enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music with a special interest toward an international constituency. Manuscripts report results of quantitative or qualitative research studies, summarize bodies or research, present theories, models, or philosophical positions, etc. Papers show relevance to advancing the practice of music teaching and learning at all age levels with issues of direct concern to the classroom or studio, in school and out, private and group instruction. All manuscripts should contain evidence of a scholarly approach and be situated within the current literature. Implications for learning and teaching of music should be clearly stated, relevant, contemporary, and of interest to an international readership.
