The Effect Of Music Pedagogical Factors On Student Music Aesthetic Ability: Mediating Roles Of Learning Motivation And Teaching Impression

Abstract

In recent years, universities across the country have increasingly emphasized the importance of music aesthetic education in students' aesthetic education. Different teaching methods of music teachers have an important influence on the cultivation of music aesthetic ability of non-music major students in universities. This study aimed to measure the different levels of influence on student music aesthetic ability through different teaching pedagogical factors in teaching pedagogy, music teaching curriculum, and use of new media. At the same time, students' learning motivation and teachers' teaching impressions will result in an impact on students' learning outcomes in the music course. Students' different learning motivations and attitudes thus affect student music aesthetic ability. This study utilized a quantitative survey method in finding the relationship between the variables. The data of variables were collected using the questionnaire and the questionnaire was modified using factor analysis. The questionnaires were formally distributed among third-year university students from four public universities in Zheng Zhou City, Henan Province. There are 43,046 students in the third year of the four universities. 422 questionnaires were distributed, and 406 valid questionnaires were collected. The 406 valid data were analyzed by using SPSS and AMOS. The data was then analyzed using structural equation modeling and linear regression analysis. The results show that among the 3 music pedagogical factors, teaching pedagogy (B=0.338, p<0.001), music teaching curriculum (B=0.267, p<0.001) and use of new media (B=0.309, p<0.001) have different levels of effect on student music aesthetic ability, respectively. Besides, learning motivation (B=0.500, p<0.001) and teaching impression (B=0.539, p<0.001) have significant mediating effects in the relationship between the teaching pedagogical factors and student music aesthetic ability. In response to the results of the study, recommendations and strategies for music teachers' teaching methods in teaching future music courses are proposed. These suggestions and strategies can effectively improve student music aesthetic ability, as well as improve teachers' teaching methods and enhance teaching effectiveness.
