INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL DESIGN BASED ON A COGNITIVE APPROACH IN MUSIC EDUCATION
Keywords:
music education, cognitive approach, pedagogical design, active learning, scaffolding, analytical listening, multimodal learning, creative problem-solving, personalized instruction.Abstract
This article examines innovative pedagogical designs in music education grounded in cognitive theory. It highlights how understanding cognitive processes such as perception, memory, attention, and metacognition can inform teaching strategies that promote active learning, analytical listening, and creative problem-solving. The article explores practical applications of cognitive principles, including scaffolding, multimodal learning, and personalized instruction, while addressing the benefits and challenges of implementing these approaches in modern music classrooms. The goal is to demonstrate how cognitive-based pedagogy can enhance musical skills, deepen understanding, and foster lifelong learning among students.
