Olav Renolen Aasbø: The digitization of the music subject in Norwegian primary school

How does the digitization of the school affect the music subject, and what opportunities and challenges do teachers experience in the face of this development?

Field of study: Music Education

Summary

The purpose of the project is to make a broad mapping of the digitization of the music subject in primary schools, starting from the problem formulation: How does the digitization of the school affect the music subject, and what opportunities and challenges do teachers experience in the face of this development? The project uses a mixed method approach with the design "explanatory sequential design", where the mapping is carried out with the help of two national surveys followed by interviews with music teachers. The results are analysed and discussed against previous research on the use of digital tools in music education.

Theoretical approaches include TPACK, the PEAT model, affordance, forms of knowledge, digitalcompetence and gender differences. The project will contribute to new knowledge about the impact of increased access to, and use of, digital tools in the music subject, and is relevant to CERM's desire for research related to digital challenges in the music subject.
