“…We believe that music ODL is more flexible, is cost-effective, and increases students' motivation. Flexibility in ODL as highlighted in this study resonates with past mobile learning studies that have explored the possibilities of simultaneous learning of embedded secondary learning material, such as cultural heritage Loo et al, 2016), and we see potential for further studies on gifted students. Thus, a proper intervention could be planned based on the evidence in the present study to fulfil gifted students' needs.…”

Music education is a subject that is generally thought to have much physical activity involved. However, virtual learning has been mandatary applied to most schools worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The landscape of music learning has had to be switched to online distance learning (ODL), where students learn music virtually using technological tools. Gifted students are among those affected by the implementation of music ODL throughout 2020. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of music ODL on gifted students’ motivation. The researchers framed this quantitative study by involving 81 secondary gifted students, aged 13 years, from 13 states in Malaysia. The sample was selected through random sampling, and a preexperimental design was applied to conduct the study. Respondents had been exposed to the music ODL intervention for a month. Data were collected through an adapted questionnaire, namely, the MUSIC Inventory, with a five-point scale. Data were further analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics, integrating two-way MANOVA, using SPSS Statistics version 23. Results reveal that an ODL approach to music classes is significantly effective to enhance gifted students’ motivation domains of empowerment, usefulness, success, interest, and caring. Yet, no significant difference was found in gifted students’ genders and locations on the four domains. Different approaches in music teaching could be further explored for music ODL to gifted students in future studies.

“…When they rely on previous designs and interventions, studies usually measure the specific effects derived from their implementation [14,15]. In the particular case of evaluation of technology-mediated learning, the studies deal with the impact of mobile-learning heritage knowledge [16,17] or the effectiveness of certain technological resources for achieving heritage learning goals [18,19], including analyzing the quality of learning from a psychoneurological perspective [20].…”

The assessment of heritage learning in digital environments lacks instruments that measure it with sufficient guarantees of accuracy, validity, and reliability. This study attempts to fill this gap by developing an instrument that has shown solid metric qualities. The process of design and calibration of a scale applied to 1,454 participants between 19 and 63 years of age is presented in this article. Exploratory factor analysis (Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling ESEM) and Item Response Theory models (Graded Response Model GRM) were used. Sufficient evidence of both reliability and validity based on content and internal structure was obtained. Invariance of scores as a function of gender and age of participants has also been demonstrated. The discrimination parameters of the items have been found to be high, and the test information curves have shown that the subscales measure with sufficient precision wide ranges of the respective latent variables. The instrument presents wide possibilities of application to various areas of Heritage Education (e.g., design of programs in HE, definition and planning of teaching objectives, evaluation of programs, etc., in virtual environments).

“…The benefits of this study will provide information to all teachers and practitioners in selecting the best strategies to cater children's coordination problems especially in singing and playing music. Through the used of Kompang (Malaysian traditional music instrument), it is hoped to increase awareness and appreciation on the culture and traditional instrument, as evidenced from various music research (Loo, Loo & Chai, 2016;Loo, Chai, Loo, & Chua, 2021). Our objective for this study is to identify the effectiveness of Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach in improving children's coordination skill, and to compare the results between Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach and conventional method in improving singing and playing kompang skill.…”

Music coordination skill is very important in music education and performance. A problem that has been identified is that children are unable to sing and play traditional percussion (kompang) simultaneously during school music performance. It appears that the necessary skill is barely coached with the current teaching methods used by primary school teachers. This not only affects performance quality but also necessitates more hours of training despite students being talented in singing or playing musical instruments. The purpose of this study is to apply the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach to improve musical coordination skill among primary school students. Hence, a quasi-experimental design was used to collect data from two groups of 9-year-old students in a Malaysian primary school, 35 in the experiment group and 35 in the control group. The pre-test and post-test data consist of mean value, standard deviation, percentage, and T-test analysis. The instrument used for data collection is a Practical Music Test. The result of the research shows that: (1) there is a significant difference between pretest and post-test scores in the experiment group, (2) there is significant difference in achievement score post-test between the control and experiment group, and (3) there is a significant difference between the achievement scores of the control and experiment groups. The present study has proven music coordination skill has potential to be developed as a part of music education in primary school. The findings also reveal that the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach is an appropriate intervention.
