INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND MUSIC EDUCATION: THE MOBILE AND WEB APPLICATION AMusEd

Osposobljenost za upotrebu suvremenih tehnologija u nastavi danas se smatra jednom od iznimno važnih kompetencija učitelja. Prepoznavanje važnosti njezinoga korištenja rezultira pomacima u pristupu podučavanja, promjenama metoda i oblika rada te napuštanjem isključivo tradicionalnih načina prijenosa i usvajanja znanja. Među kompetencijama koje se očekuju od studenata po završetku diplomskog studija glazbene pedagogije Muzičke akademije Sveučilišta u Puli, uz stručno-glazbene ubraja se i vještina korištenja informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije. Na glazbeno-pedagoškim i muzikološkim kolegijima, među kojima je i kolegij Poznavanje glazbene literature, s ciljem unaprjeđivanja i osuvremenjivanja glazbene nastave studenti osmišljavaju vlastite multimedijalne projekte. Rad predstavlja web i mobilnu aplikaciju AMusEd čija je osnovna namjena lakše i brže usvajanje informacija o skladateljima, glazbenim djelima i njihovih sastavnicama te popularizacija umjetničke glazbe.The qualification for the use of contemporary technologies in education is considered an extremely important teachers’ competence today.
