When Repetition Isn't the Best Practice Strategy: Effects of Blocked and Ra...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

Structured practice repetition

shared by Stephen Hull on 05 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • There were no performance differences between groups at the end of three practice sessions. However, 24 hours after completing practice, random group participants were able to play significantly faster than blocked group participants without sacrificing accuracy.
  • The contextual interference hypothesis predicted that the blocked group would perform better at acquisition but that the random group would perform better at retention. Results of this study provide partial support for the second half of this hypothesis
  • Structured practice, which involves using a planned sequence of practice activities, has been found to be beneficial for students of all ages
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Results of this study demonstrate that repetitive practice may not always be the most effective strategy for beginning musicians. Teachers could structure class instruction using random orders, rather than relying exclusively on repetitive drill, and teach students how to structure their home practice in this way
  • Many descriptive studies have shown that beginners make very limited use of self-regulated practice strategies (Austin &amp; Berg, 2006; Hallam, 2001; McPherson &amp; Renwick, 2001; Pitts, Davidson, &amp; McPherson, 2000). Therefore, it would be critical for teachers to help students make this application at home.

    Is it better to practice the same small section until perfected before moving on to the next? Or is it better to vary the order of items practiced?

Decisions Made in the Practice Room: A Qualitative Study of Middle School S...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

Structured practice middle school

shared by Stephen Hull on 05 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • The quality and quantity with which one approaches practicing are key factors in the development of expert instrumental performance skill (Ericsson, Krampe, &amp; Tesch-Romer, 1993). Miksza (2007), Frost and Hamann (2000), and McPherson (2000) have all found that instrumental performance is related to the quality as well as the quantity of practice.
  • McPherson and Zimmerman (2002) described self-regulation as a form of self-teaching in which students set goals, self-monitor, and self-reflect.
  • Self-efficacy, defined as the confidence one has in his or her ability to plan and execute a given task, is considered to be a key factor predicting self-regulation success
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Other researchers have found that novice adolescent musicians tend to exhibit inconsistent practice habits. Rohwer and Polk (2006) categorized the practice tendencies of students as holistic/noncorrective, holistic/corrective, analytic/reactive, or analytic/proactive. They described analytic practicers as those who were prone to remediate sections of their music both proactively and reactively, and they found that these students made significantly more gains than did the holistic practicers. Barry (1990, 1992) focused on the use of structured practice time and supervision in middle school instrumental students and found that the students were significantly more able to prepare a musical etude when practice was carefully structured and supervised. Like McPherson and Renwick (2001), Barry found that students who engaged in unstructured practice tended to play their music faster, use a metronome less, use fewer mental practice strategies, and self-assessed less than those who engaged in structured and supervised practice.
  • Barry and Hallam (2002) argue that this is because novices who have not yet developed strong aural schemata are often unaware of their own errors, whereas more capable musicians are more aware of their strengths and weaknesses.
  • The ability to self-regulate, or self-teach, is a learned skill requiring individuals to make a number of decisions related to goal setting, self-efficacy, attention, strategy use, and assessment.
  • In order for teachers to improve the way in which they teach their students to practice, it seems apparent that they must first understand the ways in which their students think during practice.
  • retrospective think aloud protocol. Ericsson and Simon (1993) describe this method of data collection as a process in which subjects are asked to describe their thoughts immediately after performing a given task.
  • Though they stated that they knew which pieces needed work, they did not have a specific idea of what aspects of the music needed work.
  • When students encountered difficulty, they reacted in one of three ways. First, although each student exhibited different levels of tolerance for frustration, at some point they each demonstrated the tendency to move on to a new activity when something began to cause frustration.
  • Second, students would retreat to easier passages when things became too difficult.
  • Finally, student ability to maintain focus over the span of the practice period also affected motivation.
  • Although the ability to maintain attention and self-efficacy may be beyond a teacher's realm of direct influence because of the unique personalities of the children, it appears that teachers can improve student motivation by providing students goals for improvement rather than simply recording practice time.
  • The ability to clearly define goals that are specific, proximal (short term), and moderately challenging is a major component of effective practice (
  • The factors influencing the use of practice strategies can be broken down into three categories: strategy repertoire, appropriate use, and motivation. Using the metaphor of having a "practice toolbox," students need to have a number of tools from which to draw on, but they also need the knowledge and skill to use them appropriately and the motivation and self-discipline to make the effort to take the tools out of the box.
  • Educational leaders commonly emphasize the importance of teaching students how to critically think and learn on their own. Musical practice is an important way in which music teachers can provide their students with these opportunities.
  • It seems to follow that helping instrumental music students develop self-regulation would result in improved ensembles and more efficient rehearsals. Methods for teaching practice skills to middle school and high school students must be developed through continued research and best practice in order to develop independent musicians.
