Augmented Reality (hereinafter referred to as AR) is an emerging educational tool that offers unique opportunities for immersive learning experiences. By incorporating AR into the learning process, educators can create an immersive environment that potentially stimulates learners' enjoyment and facilitates a deeper understanding of the subject matter.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Objectives</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Especially for younger learners, however, there is a lack of research on how AR affects enjoyment, emotions and learning.

However, students in the control condition gained more knowledge than those in the AR condition. While AR significantly enhanced students' enjoyment, the mediation analysis indicated that enjoyment did not significantly mediate the relationship between AR use and learning gains.

It has been examined in several music education contexts, including elementary, secondary, and university ensembles; however, group piano has yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to determine what effects there were, if any, between the duration of training for RPT tutors and achievement on four piano performance skills: repertoire, sight-reading, harmonization, and transposition. Thirty-three non-piano music majors completed pretesting and engaged in 2 to 6 days of RPT training, followed by 8 weeks of RPT interactions in their group piano class, after which a posttest was administered. Results from four separate Kruskal Wallis H tests found significant differences between groups for all areas of assessment. Post hoc testing determined that the 4-day training group scored significantly higher on the repertoire, harmonization, and sight-reading tasks, and the 6-day training group scored significantly higher in sight-reading and transposition tasks; however, the limited sample size should caution broad interpretation. Further analysis determined that the results of all tests were correlated with one another, suggesting that as the facility in one assessed skill increases, so do others. Implications for RPT tutor training and group piano teachers are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When considering unique effects (i.e., coaching compared to the same professional learning without coaching), there were no effects on practice but positive effects on child outcomes. Findings for coaching processes were limited, with the coaching process of modeling consistently increasing the effects of coaching for teacher practice and co-teaching decreasing the effects for teacher knowledge and practice.

We randomly assigned 238 White teachers in the U.S. to evaluate two stories of higher- and lower quality, using either stereotypical African American girl or boy names and containing either AAE or Standardized American English (SAE). Results revealed that teachers judged the stories containing AAE more harshly than stories told using SAE, and reported a greater likelihood of providing AAE storytellers with remediation and referrals for services, regardless of the quality of the story. Gender differences emerged as teachers critiqued AAE stories told using a boy's name more unfavorably than stories using a girl's name. Teachers perceived deficits in the AAE-speaking children's vocabulary and grammar skills, but rarely mentioned the use of dialect. Given that oral storytelling skills are foundational for children's early literacy development, understanding teachers’ perceptions about the use of AAE during storytelling is critical for informing efforts to capitalize upon these early skills for learning and development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48348,"journal":{"name":"Early Childhood Research Quarterly","volume":"72 ","pages":"Pages 143-155"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
