Main Article Content
Abstract
Background and Aim: The dimensions of SRL theory provided an appropriate framework to explore students' self-regulatory development (de Bruijn-Smolders et al., 2016). and were used in the current study to examine the influence of CADENZA use on students' practice approach. The main objective was to determine the effectiveness of the CADENZA learning system-based teaching model in improving students' academic performance in accordion courses and to determine whether it can improve students' academic performance. Finally, based on the existing experimental design, researchers can apply CADENZA to teaching activities based on different fields, rather than being limited only to accordion teaching research. Such research can provide a more effective teaching model for educators in different fields.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 80 undergraduate students majoring in accordion at Hunan Normal University participated in the study, and the participants were divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. The experimental group was taught with CADENZA, while the control group was taught with traditional classroom teaching. After nine weeks of study, both groups of students were assessed on three aspects: Music Performance Techniques, Integrity of musical performance, and Musical expression. Then the hypothesis was tested using SPSS and a T-test. Finally, the results of using Cadenza to teach students the accordion are reported in the form of mean and standard deviation. To explore the effectiveness of teaching methods in the experimental group.
Results: Three variables included in the accordion teaching of cadenza—Music Performance Techniques, Integrity of musical performance, and Musical expression evaluation found that students' academic performance has been significantly improved, which is more effective than traditional teaching methods.performance, supporting the three hypotheses proposed in the study, and making the conceptual structure model effective.
Conclusion: First of all, the specific content of the operational teaching method can be innovated in future research. Complete the perfect combination of classroom and extracurricular teaching, and the seamless connection between digital technology teaching and practical teaching. Secondly, the fixed teaching procedure in the operational teaching method can be innovated in future research. Accordion teachers in normal universities need to change their teaching concepts, put students in the main position of learning, and innovate teaching methods through the transmission function of digital technology, so as to achieve the purpose of teaching based on materials. Finally, based on the existing experimental design, researchers can apply CADENZA to teaching activities on the basis of different fields, rather than being limited only to accordion teaching research; such research can provide a more effective teaching model for educators in different fields. These findings support existing research showing that digital tools can improve students' performance in accordion courses to some extent.
