The Cognitive Determining Factor of Incorporating Technology into Music Education

This study explored the degree to which music educators are in agreement concerning the benefits of employing technology in the Korean music educational system. The study also analyzed a cross-section of student responses following their exposure to music classes, employing technology, given at all levels of education between kindergarten and college. This data was sorted by the type of educational institution. The purpose of this study was to utilize quantitative and qualitative methods to explore three research questions: 1) determination of educator opinion regarding the benefits of incorporating technology into Korean music education. 2) the opinion of incorporating technology into Korean music education, and 3) student responses as regards the music class incorporating technology. One half of the 1000 members of the Korean Music Educators Society (KMES) were asked to participate by survey and interview in this study, which gathered informational data based on the three research questions. A majority of the KMES members are music educators, (a small percentage of its membership consist of graduate students of music), representing a wide range of levels, from kindergarten through college. This complete range of education levels is helpful in assessing the extent to which technology is used at various stages by educators. The major findings of the study were as follows: 1. Many educators agreed there were advantages in the incorporation of technology into the music educational life of the student at all levels, from kindergarten through college. 2. Many educators agreed the incorporation technology into Korean music education at all levels, from kindergarten through college. 3. Students, who enrolled in music classes incorporating technology, responded positively. In three survey questions, there was a significant relationship between strength of opinions and institution type. It is hoped that this study may help provide basic research data to the researcher who feels a need to study the incorporation of technology into music curricula.
