Music education research has shown interest in music therapy for integral development of the person, both in their performance and academic knowledge and in their personality. This project aims to analyze the benefits of music therapy in the comprehensive training of students with disruptive behaviors (n = 6). Tests designed by Gallego, Alonso, Cruz, and Lizama (1999) were conducted to assess emotional intelligence, which showed very low results. A series of activities were designed based on the use of the music videogame Musichao, the curricular content of which was adapted for this pilot experience. Subsequently, the emotional intelligence tests were applied again to determine the effectiveness of the teaching experience. The results indicate that, with the use of this videogame, significant improvements were obtained, both in the development of multiple intelligences and in self-motivation, self-awareness, self-control, and more specifically, in social skills, minimizing behaviors that were classified as inappropriate and/or aggressive, and becoming more skilled in their interactions with the surrounding environment.
A mediados del s. XIX, surge en Galicia un movimiento intelectual conocido como "Rexurdimento", que se propuso la recuperación de la identidad lingüística y cultural gallega. Actualmente, la recuperación cultural es indiscutible, sin embargo, en la conservación y difusión de nuestro patrimonio musical, el resultado no es tan evidente. El objetivo de esta investigación es comprobar si ha habido diferencias en los resultados sobre el empleo del folclore musical en el aula de los centros educativos gallegos con respecto al estudio realizado anteriormente por Chao-Fernández (2008), contribuyendo así a la conservación y transmisión de la herencia musical. La investigación se ha llevado a cabo bajo los fundamentos de un modelo mixto, comparando los resultados de un cuestionario aplicado en los cursos 2003/2004 y 2018/2019, a una muestra total de 304 profesores y una entrevista a 7 docentes. Los resultados corroboran los recabados hace quince años, e indican que, a pesar de que se usan mayoritariamente los métodos pedagógicos que fomentan el uso del folclore, los responsables no utilizan el folclore con esta finalidad y que la enseñanza se limita a escasas canciones, danzas e instrumentos del folclore gallego. Se concluye que la escuela gallega no contribuye a la conservación del patrimonio musical.
Nowadays society requires people to be capable of resolving the existing problems and creating new ones. But also it is necessary to develop people available to understand and love arts and also to prepare able people practice it like expression forms. In contrast, in the Spanish education politicization, there are important differences between regions about the study loads of arts and creativity. In these lines it is presented the next paper where the authors make a review about creativity, the situation of musical education and the connection between musical education and creativity in the Spanish's primary school with the target of increasing the students' cognitive development.
Asistimos a un considerable incremento en el envejecimiento y longevidad de la población, por lo que se ha de prestar especial atención para garantizar un aprendizaje de calidad para toda la vida que permita un envejecimiento activo. Se presenta en este trabajo una propuesta multidisciplinar que pretende incentivar la lectura, un recurso de aprendizaje con el que incorporar nuevos contenidos culturales que faciliten la interacción social, la participación en el entorno y el acercamiento a estímulos artísticos. Se trata de una experiencia desarrollada en la Universidad de Mayores (Zaragoza, España) donde participan un total de 121 sujetos con una edad media de 65 años. Además de la contextualización teórica, confluyen en este artículo un diseño de investigación longitudinal y cuantitativo que ha precisado del diseño de un cuestionario ad hoc en dos fases, previa y posterior a la implementación de la propuesta. Se involucran aspectos relacionados con la música y el cine que han incrementado la motivación por la lectura de obras literarias de gran envergadura, demostrando que la contextualización artística y multidisciplinar obtiene buenos resultados de aprendizaje y un incremento motivacional.
One might think that the elementary teachings of an instrument should follow uniform planning patterns. The present study shows discrepancies between the models developed by different Spanish conservatories, mainly attributable to the guidelines established by each autonomous community concerning the order of the curriculum markedly influenced by each community’s circumstances. This article analyzes and compares first-year didactic programs in the elementary music teachings of 40 Spanish conservatories within the cello specialty. This work shows significant heterogeneity in planning, marked mainly by the variety of content in planning. The lack of unified criteria and standards for teaching planning is evident in teachers’ freedom to establish the contents and evaluation criteria within the framework of regulations in each autonomous community, whose generality prevents the establishment of standard criteria. It is urgent and necessary to design training plans and standard content that consider improved learning practices and strategies to offer quality training based on common standards.
