This paper presents some possibilities of distance learning in music teacher education. The research presented two teacher training programs at Kazan Federal University. The distance learning tools allowed to realize some important subject-oriented principles include self-education, self-realization, and creative approach. The result data were collected from tests results and analysis of self-assessment and questionnaires by quantitative and qualitative experimental methods. The results of the level of musical knowledge and creative activity were increased in the second distance learning group, but not in the first traditional group. Based on the experimental research work, the authors concluded that distance learning environment is a perspective way for develop education system. A distance tool allows us to reflect modern society changes where online format became the priority way for getting new competencies including professional skills in music teacher education.
The study is relevant due to the need for the preservation of cultural traditions that include different peoples' identities. An important way is the use of ethnic vocal traditions which include the experience earlier generations in art, moral and aesthetic knowledge. Learning of the vocal basis in the traditional face-to-face and online format allows to offer available content, a better update of the logically organized subject. Also, it provided connected knowledge learning that tends to build new ideas on the basis of traditional culture through collaboration. The purpose of the paper is to study the usage of national vocal traditions in the learning process of future music teacher through the elements of Moodle, such as lectures about vocal art and assessment resources. The research used the following methods: analysis of musical-pedagogical literature, studying educational documents, analysis of national vocal traditions, questioning, testing, interviewing. The results of the complex educational process include traditional face-to-face and digital format that show a deep understanding of students' intonation system of folk melodies and features of traditional musical culture. The researchers concluded that the main role of the folk vocal performance traditions in the process of improvement of professional knowledge and skills of the future music teacher include their emotional state, moral, aesthetic and spiritual qualities. These results will allow increasing the quality of the process of professional creative realization of the future music teacher through the interaction to the vocal art of different peoples by smooth communication at the Moodle environment.
Facing the emergency of the COVID19 pandemic, Higher Education faced new challenges which required the design and implementation of new types of multicultural interaction by the means of online tools. Online competition is the new form of international interaction popularity of which is growing rapidly at present. This study aimed to assess the advantages of online competitions in promoting multicultural opportunities in the education of music teachers. The research work was organized in two stages at Kazan Federal University (Russia) in the collaboration with Partap College of Education (India) where two online competitions—an international competition of students’ research works, and a vocal singing competition—were organized. The jury committee included nine members who represented three countries (Russia, India, and Armenia). During the competitions, 95 students’ research reports and 75 vocal performance records were collected. The results were analyzed by using the average rating method. The most significant criteria to assess the research work included the knowledge in the field of cultural diversity and the research scope demonstrating global experience. The vocal records were compared by the criteria such as art and technical level of performance, artistic style, expressive performance, and others. The comparative analysis was used for studying cultural diversity in the vocal records which presented more than fifteen different cultures delivering Western and Eastern musical traditions and featured differences in genres, fret-harmonic structure, performance style, and national instruments. The obtained results showed a high level of sharing of musical cultural diversity through these two online competitions. It was concluded that online competition demonstrates advantages in sharing the diversity of music cultures. The criteria based on multiculturality allows evaluating competitive works objectively while focusing at the same time on their diversity. The implementation of a multicultural approach in online competitions will promote sharing in the world of music, allowing participants to experience diversities in order to preserve each artistic tradition in the context of its original cultural heritage.
