Individual Differences, Student Satisfaction and Performance in Supplemental On-line Activities in a Postsecondary Music Course
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study is an extension of our previous research on the infusion of technology into a postsecondary music course to promote the skill of close listening of music. In-class hindrances in higher education classrooms, such as time, equipment, acoustics, and class size, limit student experiences of quality listening and thereby reduce their capacity for learning fundamental features important to hearing differences in musical styles.. For this study, we developed on-line, supplemental listening activities using Articulate Storyline, Adobe Connect and the virtual world Open Sim. We pretested students on music experience, computer experience and self-regulation. At the end of each course, students answered a survey on their enjoyment, tendency to recommend, their engagement and perceived increase in understanding of material, and whether or not the activities were worthwhile. In a comparison of 2014 and 2015 results, we found that students with high selfregulation levels rated these items more positively when the content included more advanced musical concepts. We also found that students who thought the on-line activities had increased their understanding of the material engaged more intensively with all the on-line activities than students who praised the convenience or aesthetic experience of the on-line activities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
