Abstract
This meta-analysis investigates the impact of music teaching and learning activities (MTLAs) on musical-artistic outcomes. It intends to serve as a starting point for fostering evidence-based educational practices in this domain, a need that has been increasingly emphasized in recent years. Starting with 93,291 articles from online search engine queries, we included only the results of 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria in the effect size calculation, resulting in 25 effect sizes. MTLAs have an overall medium and heterogeneous effect (d = .56, p < .001) on both music literacy and sight reading (d = .54, p < .01) as well as performance and aural skills (d = .51, p < .001). The effects of MTLAs can vary depending on the teaching methodology used, the category of musical-artistic outcomes targeted, and the educational level of the participants. No publication bias was identified.
本荟萃分析调查了音乐教学活动(mtla)对音乐艺术成果的影响。它的目的是作为一个起点,在这一领域培养以证据为基础的教育实践,这是近年来日益强调的需求。从在线搜索引擎查询的93,291篇文章开始,我们只纳入了20篇符合纳入标准的文章的结果来计算效应量,得到25个效应量。mtla总体上具有中等和异质性效应(d = .56, p <;.001),音乐素养和视读(d = .54, p <;.01),以及表现和听觉技能(d = .51, p <;措施)。mtla的效果取决于所使用的教学方法、目标音乐艺术成果的类别以及参与者的教育水平。未发现发表偏倚。
