The Effect of Computer-Based Instructional Materials in a Program for Visual Diagnostic Skills Training of Instrumental Music Education Students

Purpose. This study examined the effect of computerized instruction on the ability of students to perform tasks of visual error detection during instruction in instrumental music methods. The instructional materials were designed to train instrumental music teachers to identify quickly and accurately fundamentally correct and incorrect performance characteristics of instrumental music students. A computerized format of the materials was developed to coincide as closely as possible in content with the original classroom materials. The two methods were compared in an attempt to determine: (1) the relationship between student practice and student achievement, (2) the nature of student attitudes toward the respective methods, and (3) the relationship between student attitudes and achievement.
