“…It should be noted that tuning is rarely addressed in Spanish secondary education music classes [5] and that violin strings are tuned at separation intervals of a fifth. There is no consistent research that analyzes the interdisciplinary differences between the two subjects or between the concepts discussed in this study, and none refer to variables such as sex or the type of education center.…”

Fractions and Pythagorean Tuning—An Interdisciplinary Study in Secondary Education

2019

Formal education is experiencing a series of reforms that favor the integration of the contents of different areas in the teaching and learning of the different educational stages. The present study examined the use of an interdisciplinary music and mathematics experience in Secondary Education in Galicia (Spain) in the 2016/17 academic year. A descriptive-exploratory design was used, through a Likert questionnaire applied to 197 students with a diagnostic test and a reference test, and a study of multiple cases was carried out in which information was collected through classroom observations. The results show improvements in the understanding of mathematical and musical concepts, and attitudes and procedures so we can argue that the use of interdisciplinary activities have favored the development of teaching-learning opportunities in mathematical and musical training.Mathematics 2019, 7, 1227 2 of 13 attitudes. However, there is no record of studies linking both these disciplines in compulsory secondary education (ESO). The FractionsFractions are present in the most diverse contexts; they form part of the secondary education curriculum and are essential for learning algebra, geometry, and other areas of higher mathematics [7].Research on this construct creates a certain interest because many students consider fractions to be among the most complex mathematical concepts tackled in the early school years. The difficulties stem from a lack of conceptual understanding and procedural fluidity due to the limited use of manipulative teaching materials, visual representations and/or assessment of responses before attempting to use a formal algorithm [8]. The students see fractions as meaningless symbols or look at the numerator and denominator as separate numbers instead of understanding them as a unified whole [9]. In addition, these doubts persist when they arrive at secondary school as they have not understood the concept or have learnt it badly.Perrenoud [10] argues that the reason students do not make adequate progress stems from the lack of teacher competence in teaching math effectively and not being able to apply mathematics to daily life. In this regard, Castro-Rodríguez, Rico and Gómez [11] emphasize that innovative materials and forms of teaching are very important elements as they capture the schoolchildren's attention and allow them to obtain satisfactory results both academically and personally. Therefore, it is necessary for educators to break the monotony in their classrooms, stimulate their students by introducing novel aspects that arouse their interest and present them with approaches that will motivate and provoke a taste for and curiosity about the world of mathematics. Taking this into account, the main objective of our work is to be able to understand fractions significantly and use them in a range of actions, concepts and procedures linked to varied situations, encouraging students to discover them on their own, and as a team, and then to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each strategy [7].

“…Thus, in light of ideological positions, and without relying on scientific evidence, instrumental subjects (like Spanish Language and Literature, Mathematics and Foreign Languages) are promoted within the school curriculum, being 15 of the 25 weekly lessons that make up the school timetable in Primary Education. 1 However, various studies have shown that, with more music being included in the curriculum and its use in subjects such as Language and Literature (Hoskins, 1988;Patel, Gibson, Ratner, Besson, & Holcom, 1998;Schön, Magne, & Besson, 2004), Mathematics (Chao, Mato, & Chao, 2015;Edelson & Johnson, 2003;Geist, Geist & Kuznik, 2012;Ibáñez, Aguilera, & González-Martín, 2014) and Foreign Languages (Medina, 1990;Schwantes, 2009;Swaminathan & Gopinath, 2013), there are significant benefits not only from a cognitive point of view (Črnčec, Wilson, & Prior, 2006), but also in the academic achievement of children (Reyes Belmonte, 2011).…”

Songs are one of the main resources used in the classroom in preschool and primary education. Their use allows the development of skills that not only affect the musical education field, but also enable to promote the comprehensive training of children in three major areas: cognitive, sensory-motor, and affective-social. In the affective and social sphere, songs will allow the approach of the cross-cultural education and teaching values in general. The acceptance of diversity, the respect for different cultures and ethnicities and the strengthening of social relationships will be the subjects which can be connected with the songs selected to be worked on in the classroom. These songs will sometimes be based on stories and other literary works suitable for the level of the students to whom they are addressed. Thus, the combination of the story and the song will have a multiplier effect that will extend the type and characteristics of the activities to be carried out. In this way, the song will provide different working contexts, with special reference to commemorations, celebrations and festivities, through which the students will be able to become aware of the cross-cultural reality of their classroom, school and environment.

Fabrication of Coaxial Wet‐Spun Graphene–Chitosan Biofibers

et al. 2015

One-step continuous wet-spinning of coaxial electroactive fibres of chitosan/graphene oxide (Chit/GO) via a facile method is introduced for the first time, eliminating the need for posttreatment processes. Spinnability of coaxial fibres as well as their characterization for several properties is investigated. L-ascorbic acid was found to reduce graphene oxide under mild conditions to create conductivity in the final fibre. As-prepared fibres were found to be cytocompatible with good electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. SEM images from the cross-section of Chit/GO fibres showed an irregular shaped multifilament GO fibre covered with a cylinder-shaped sheath of chitosan. Coaxial fibres had an ultimate tensile stress and elastic modulus that increased 8 500% and 3 350%, respectively compared to the graphene oxide fibres alone.
