Abstract
Background
Rhythm is the fundamental element of music and one of the indispensable aspects of training in music education, making it highly valued. However, due to the limitations of teaching hours and the large number of students in each class, it is difficult to foster the rhythm ability of elementary school students.
Objectives
Hence, this study developed a Dynamic Assessment-Based Mobile Technology-Assisted Rhythm Teaching System (hereafter, the Dynamic System) and a Conventional Mobile Technology-Assisted Rhythm Teaching System (hereafter, the Conventional System) which were applied to third graders' music rhythm learning in the hopes of promoting their rhythm ability.
Methods
A quasi-experimental design was carried out. The experimental group used the Dynamic System, while the control group adopted the Conventional System. The learning activities lasted for 3 weeks. After the learning activities, we examined the effects of learning achievement, learning motivation and cognitive load.
Results and Conclusions
The results showed that the experimental group had significantly better rhythm learning achievement and intrinsic motivation than the control group. Both groups' intrinsic motivation was enhanced, and their cognitive load was similar. It is suggested that future research can incorporate different teaching strategies or elements of music in the Dynamic System for students' music rhythm learning to achieve the greatest value and contribution to mobile technology learning.
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
