Abstract

SHEVCHUK, Lyubov et al. Opportunities of using mobile applications by students in the framework of teaching humanitarian subjects focused on the development of sensory-practical activity. Conrado [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.91, pp. 358-365.  Epub Apr 30, 2023. ISSN 1990-8644.

The purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness, benefits, and specificity of using the Crazy Ootka Software's Perfect Ear program, designed for ear training. The research was carried out experimentally. The goal of the study is to test the effectiveness and identify the advantages and specifics of the Perfect Ear ear training program by Crazy Ootka Software. The experimental study includes four groups: professional and amateur musicians training with a teacher and using the mobile application, as well as students with and without music education using Perfect Ear independently with no pedagogical assistance. The study results demonstrate unquestionable effectiveness of the application used with a teacher’s assistance among both professionals and amateurs, as well as when used by students without musical training independently under some additional conditions (the presence of basic knowledge of music theory, regularity of work, understanding of the capabilities of the program, etc.). The scientific novelty of the study is due to it providing the first evaluation of the application’s effectiveness in musical ear training among people with different levels of training, as well as identifying the prospects for the implementation of the application in professional training and self-training by amateur musicians.
