Abstract
The aim of this research was to find and study the effectiveness of alternative ways of organizing practical classes in Musical Art for Pedagogy students in the context of distance learning. The research involved semi-structured interviews with teachers and student surveys using a close-ended questionnaire. The content analysis of the answers revealed the main difficulties that the teachers had to deal with when organizing distance practical classes in Musical Art. It also enabled finding optimal ways to eliminate them. Their high efficiency was verified by conducting a pedagogical experiment. It was established that traditional methods of education are impossible during distance learning. They need to be replaced with new ones that are effective in technology-mediated learning. It was found that music teachers used special software, digital musical instruments as an alternative to traditional ones. Teachers also recorded video instructions and video lessons, and students recorded video reports on the work done.
Teachers began to use new teaching methods. Distance learning yielded higher learning outcomes than the traditional one, as technologies are interesting to students and contribute to their motivation and engagement. This article was reduced to the study of the peculiarities of the organization of distance learning of students — future teachers of Musical Art. Further research should be aimed at identifying ways of organizing Music Art education in general secondary educational institutions.
