Abstract
Background
Vocal music education is a skill-oriented course. Students not only need to improve their skills through repeated practice, but also need to learn self-reflection on their singing skills to achieve improvement in their vocal music performance. To promote students' reflection, previous studies have introduced peer assessment (PA) in vocal music courses, allowing learners to evaluate the work of others to promote self-reflection and innovate traditional patterns of vocal music instruction.
Objective
Studies have indicated that, without proper scaffolding, learners with limited knowledge often have difficulty providing high quality comments and sometimes even provide no feedback to their peers. To solve this problem, the current study integrated the structural reflection-promoting mechanism into PA in a vocal music course at a university.
Method
To verify the effects of the proposed approach, a quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the approach with a total of 22 students recruited as the experimental group and 23 students as the control group.
Results and Conclusions
The findings showed that the approach greatly improved the vocal music performance of the experimental group students, as well as their learning attitudes, self-efficacy and critical thinking. Furthermore, the interview was conducted to investigate learners' perceptions of and learning experience with the proposed approach.
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
