Piano education online: Challenges and solutions

Abstract

The research objectives are as follows: to consider the possibilities of modern digital technologies in education; to assess the impact of digital technology on the study of a work of art. The study results show the advantages and disadvantages of the WeChat software and the MOOC application, obtained on the basis of a survey of students. According to the WeChat software, 100% of students said they use the app. According to 100% (328 students) of the respondents, the advantage is free use; 98% (321 students) noted learning flexibility and ease of use; 85% (279 students) reported high quality sound and image; 83% (272 students) appreciated instant messages; 75% (246 students) enjoyed integrated screen sharing during conversation; 65% (213 students) reported call recording; 25% (82 students) enjoyed phone calls and protection of private conversations. According to 46% of respondents (151 students), the disadvantages are delay and poor audio quality at the beginning of communication; 42% (138 students) -inaccessibility to other incoming calls during a conversation; 35% (115 students) -difficulties associated with reading a text message received during a video chat; 20% (66 students) -lack of round-the-clock technical support.

A Practical Study on Improving the Teaching Quality of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: A Combined Online and Offline Teaching Model of MW- PBL-FC

“…Correspondingly, the use of WeChat, a social media application, has been recommended. WeChat has the bene ts of being free, simple, and adaptable to use, as well as offering high-quality images, instant messaging, screen sharing, and call recording, among others (Ma, R., et al,2023;Zhang, X., et al,2018;Zheng G et al,2023;Wang Y.et al,2023). Thus, designing a variety of teaching activities and lessons, documenting the teaching and learning process in detail, answering student questions, analyzing their responses, and exchanging feedback with autonomy is possible in real time (Wang Y.et al,2023;Zhang G.J.,2023;Zou H.,2022).…”

“…Additionally, students can share learning resources and learning experiences with each other(Sun Y.P.,2015;Che S.Q.,2017). However, drawbacks such as communication delay, poor audio quality, the inability to connect to other calls during a call, di culty reading messages received in video chat, and the absence of all-weather technical supportpersist (Ma, R.,et al,2023;Gao C, et al,2017). Combining MOOC courses with WeChat software features can, therefore, accommodate students' needs and preferences while also streamlining operational procedures.…”

“…Teachers and students can useWeChat to communicate instantly, answer questions, and share resources(Ma, R., et al,2023;Huang X.,2019) to compensate for the shortcomings of the MOOC.PBL is student-centered, which brings into play students' independence and active participation in learning, develops students' teamwork and communication skills, fosters critical thinking and the ability to analyze and solve problems, improves students' creative thinking skills, and promotes the integration of professional knowledge with clinical practice(Zhang, F., et al,2022;Zhang, X.,et al,2023) In addition, it exercises students' expression skills, develops students' clinical thinking, and improves students' teamwork skills(Zhang,X.,et al,2018;Zheng G,et al,2023;Wang Y. et al,2023;Zhang G.J.,2023; Zou H.,2022;Du W.,et al,2022,Zhang Y.F., et al,2022). However, PBL-centric approaches do not always allow students to grasp the key contents, or aid in the intervention, management, and assessment of teachers, etc.…”

The Modern Educational Strategies in the Curriculum Design of Master’s Degree Programmes (Vocal Art) by Austrian and Russian Higher Education Institutions

“…В статье Run Tao Ma, Runchun Ma анализируются работы ученых из Австралии, Греции, США, Англии и др. с точки зрения преимуществ и недостатков музыкального онлайн-образования [Ma R., Ma R. 2022]. В ряде работ, например, в Оксфордском справочнике по социальным сетям и обучению музыке приводятся мнения ученых -лидеров в области музыкального образования -о том, что «…of what it means to be a music learner, teacher, producer, consumer, individual, and community member in an age of technologicallymediated relationships that continue to break down the limits of geographical, cultural, political, and economic place» (что значит быть изучающим музыку, учителем, продюсером, потребителем, индивидом и членом сообщества в эпоху отношений, опосредованных технологиями, которые продолжают разрушать географические, культурные, политические и экономические границы) [The Oxford Handbook…, 2020].…”
