This paper gets an insight into the effectiveness of the vocal exercises developed with visual art tools and a vocal training app. The survey was conducted among 110 students from a music school in China. Students from small groups B who used MOOC and the developed vocal exercises performed 8.6% better compared to the control group, suggesting the programme’s effectiveness for teaching vocal performance. Group B post-assessment of the special factors showed increased scores on the three assessment criteria after the intervention. This study has practical value and is important for further research because it demonstrates the developed vocal exercises’ effect on musical skills. Research findings may be applied in educational institutions that are interested in finding ways to develop musical skills and improve the effectiveness of vocal training. The results are important for teachers, education officials and everyone interested in the introduction of interactive environments.RESUMENEl desarrollo de ejercicios vocales utilizando herramientas interactivas y las artes visuales podría contribuir a desarrollar las habilidades musicales de los estudiantes y fomentar la eficacia de su aprendizaje. En este artículo se explora la eficacia de los ejercicios vocales utilizando herramientas de las artes visuales y una aplicación de entrenamiento vocal. Se realizó una encuesta a 110 estudiantes de una escuela musical en China. Los estudiantes de los grupos B, que utilizaron cursos en línea masivos y abiertos (MOOC) y realizaron los ejercicios vocales desarrollados, tuvieron un rendimiento 8.6% superior al de los estudiantes del grupo control (A), lo que sugiere la eficacia del programa de enseñanza para el entrenamiento vocal. La evaluación del grupo B posterior a la intervención, según tres criterios especiales, reveló puntuaciones más altas en los tres criterios evaluados. Este estudio tiene implicaciones prácticas y es importante para futuras investigaciones puesto que demuestra la influencia de los ejercicios vocales desarrollados en las habilidades musicales de los estudiantes.

The study applied the experimental method, with a survey conducted among two groups of college graduates (Chinese and international students). The experiment involved 686 students (343 Chinese students and 343 international students) in their final year. The main criteria for career choices among Chinese students include motivation (76%), interest (62%), personal development (53%), aptitudes (48%), awareness of the profession (38%) and attitudes of their parents/instructors (72%). By contrast, international students chose personal development (81%), aptitudes (74%) and motivation (68%) among the criteria. A career guidance training programme has been developed in order to improve motivation and willingness of college graduates to make decisions about their careers. The practical value and research outlooks are based on the opportunities arising when determining the influence of cross-cultural characteristics on the choice of a profession in the course of exploring the motivation and willingness to make career decisions not just for college graduates but also for universities in China and other countries in a comparative context.RESUMENEste artículo investiga los factores que influyen en las decisiones de los graduados de las universidades chinas sobre sus salidas profesionales. En el estudio se adoptó un método experimental basado en un cuestionario distribuido entre dos grupos de pregraduados universitarios (estudiantes chinos e internacionales). En el experimento participaron 686 estudiantes (343 de nacionalidad china y 343 de otras nacionalidades) que cursaban el último año de estudios. Los principales criterios para la elección de su futura profesión entre los estudiantes chinos incluían: motivación (76%), predisposición (62%), desarrollo personal (53%), aptitudes (48%), conocimiento de la profesión (38%) y actitudes de los padres/instructores (72%). Por el contrario, los estudiantes internacionales basaban sus decisiones en el desarrollo personal (81%), sus aptitudes (74%) y su motivación (68%), entre otros criterios. Se desarrolló un programa de orientación profesional para mejorar la motivación y la predisposición de los graduados universitarios frente a la toma de decisiones sobre sus futuras carreras profesionales.

The constructivist approach advocates for an implicit way of introduction of basic numerical concepts by exploration of objects and substances, starting from preschool age. The cultural historical approach doesn’t insist on early introduction of mathematical formal knowledge at preschool age, as this period should be dedicated to gradual development of voluntary activity, imagination and symbolic function. According to this conception, primary school is the period of formal introduction of mathematical concepts, based on previous work with general intellectual or logical actions. The goal of the article is to show the methodology of fulfilment of intellectual logical actions with symbolic components at the very beginning of primary school as the preparation for the introduction of general mathematical concepts. Pupils of the first grade of primary school were participants of experimental learning-teaching process online. The authors discuss that more research is still needed to find optimal methodology for the introduction and teaching of mathematics in primary school.","PeriodicalId":51688,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84112705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of music education in college on the development of individuals’ musical and creative abilities in comparison to self-taught musicians. The assessment involved the analysis of these aptitudes of the respondents using two separate techniques: Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Test to identify respondents’ musical aptitudes and Williams’ test battery to investigate divergent thinking. Given the timeliness and correctness of the execution of instructions for each of the tests, the original study sample included 190 individuals. Analysis of the research findings on the two parameters among the majority of respondents confirmed the expected correlation. As for the first factor of the analysis, approximately 53% of the respondents with musical intelligence demonstrated the expected correlation of this indicator with attendance of educational institutions. This being the case, 57% of respondents have a high level of creative thinking given attendance of a college of music.","PeriodicalId":51688,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72820922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted among 120 students (SD = 13.4) at middle music schools in the PRC. The instruments included the Creative Personality Scale (CPS) and the Scale of Musical Experience (SME). On the CPS post-test, the control group demonstrated the same creativity, suggesting the impossibility of independent development of creative abilities within an educational institution. The influence group demonstrated increased medium creativity (10.0%) and strong creativity (11.1%). SME post-test in the control group suggests that poor musical experience fell by 11.4%, medium experience increased by 6.4% and strong musical experience increased by 5.0%. The influence secured the dominance of the medium musical experience, with poor musical experience reduced by 22.3% and strong experience increased by 15.7%.
