Abstract

The objective of this study is to highlight the potential of video tutorials for learning how to use music editing software as well as students’ perceptions of their use. The project has been developed within a flipped-classroom approach, in which students studied with two types of resources: video tutorials and printed tutorials created ad hoc. Using a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design, students participating in the project (n = 48) were divided into an experimental group (video tutorials) and a control group (printed tutorials) in order to evaluate the resource used according to: (1) academic results achieved; (2) students’ independence; (3) time spent completing tasks; (4) motivation generated by the resource. The resource used did not result in an improvement of academic performance in those students who used video tutorials. However, there has been an improvement in time invested in the production of scores, students’ autonomy in relation to the teacher and motivation towards the resource used.

Para responder a la Hipótesis 1 de este trabajo se toma como variable explicada la nota/calificación en ‘edición de partituras musicales’ y como variables explicativas: (1) el ‘grupo’, que diferencia entre el tipo de recurso empleado por los alumnos; (2) el ‘tiempo’, que diferencia entre el momento PRE y POST; y (3) las ‘calificaciones’ obtenidas en el examen sobre lenguaje musical antes de comenzar el proyecto (se utiliza como covariable), con el propósito de detectar si se produce un efecto sobre la variabilidad dentro de los sujetos y de este modo aislar su efecto para conseguir una cuantificación más representativa y fiable del efecto del recurso empleado por los alumnos en la edición de partituras musicales.
