This paper reviews the empirical evidence relating to the effects of active engagement with music on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people. It draws on research using the most advanced technologies to study the brain, in addition to quantitative and qualitative psychological and educational studies. It explains how musical skills may transfer to other activities if the processes involved are similar. It explores the evidence relating to the impact of musical skills on language development, literacy, numeracy, measures of intelligence, general attainment, creativity, fine motor co-ordination, concentration, self-confidence, emotional sensitivity, social skills, team work, self-discipline, and relaxation. It suggests that the positive effects of engagement with music on personal and social development only occur if it is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This has implications for the quality of the teaching.
Le pouvoir de la musique: son impact sur les développements intellectuel, social et personnel chez les enfants et les jeunes
Cet article relate l’évidence empirique des effets d’un engagement musical actif axé sur les développements intellectuel, social et personnel procurent aux enfants et aux jeunes. Cet article fait état de la technologie la plus avancée utilisée pour étudier le cerveau en complément aux recherches quantitatives et qualitatives menées en psychologie et en éducation. Il s’agit d’expliquer comment les habiletés musicales peuvent être transférées à d’autres activités si le processus impliqué est le même. Il est aussi question d’explorer l’impact évident en lien au développement du langage, la littératie, la numératie, les mesures de l’intelligence, les réalisations globales, la créativité, la motricité fine, la concentration, la confiance en soi, la sensibilité émotionnelle, les habiletés sociales, le travail d’équipe, l’autodiscipline et la relaxation. Les effets positifs d’un engagement dans la musique sur les plans du développement personnel et du développement social sont présents uniquement lorsque l’expérience et agréable et gratifiante. La qualité de l’enseignement est également sujette à ce constat.
Die Macht der Musik: Ihr Einfluss auf die intellektuelle, soziale und persönliche Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen
Dieser Beitrag überprüft die empirische Bedeutung von Effekten aktiven Umgangs mit Musik auf die intellektuelle, soziale und persönliche Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Er zieht Ergebnisse der Hirnforschung heran, die modernste Technologien einsetzt, ergänzt durch quantitative und qualitative Studien aus dem Bereich der Psychologie und Pädagogik. Es wird klar, wie musikalische Fertigkeiten auf andere Tätigkeiten übertragen werden können, wenn es sich dabei um ähnliche Vorgänge handelt. Darüber hinaus erkundet der Beitrag die Bedeutung der Musik für die Sprachentwicklung, die Lese- und Rechenfähigkeit, für Intelligenz, allgemeine Leistungsfähigkeit, Kreativität, feinmotorische Koordination, Konzentration, Selbstvertrauen, emotionale Sensibilität, Sozialverhalten, Teamfähigkeit, Selbstdisziplin und Entspannung. Es deutet manches darauf hin, dass sich positive Effekte der Beschäftigung mit Musik auf die soziale und persönliche Entwicklung nur dann zeigen, wenn es sich um eine erfreuliche und lohnende Erfahrung handelt. Dies hat dann Auswirkungen auf die Qualität der Lehre.
El poder de la música: su impacto en el desarrollo intelectual, social y personal de niños y jóvenes
Este artículo hace una revisión de las evidencias empíricas de los efectos de la implicación activa de niños y jóvenes con la música sobre su desarrollo personal, social e intelectual. Parte de una investigación en la que se usaron las tecnologías más avanzadas para estudiar el cerebro, además de estudios educativos y psicológicos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Explica cómo las capacidades musicales pueden transferirse a otras actividades si los procesos puestos en juego son similares. Explora las evidencias relacionadas con el impacto del desarrollo del lenguaje, alfabetización, cálculo, medidas de la inteligencia, logros globales, creatividad, coordinación motriz fina, concentración, autoconfianza, sensibilidad emocional, capacidades sociales, trabajo en equipo, autodisciplina, y relajación. Sugiere que los efectos positivos de la implicación con la música sobre el desarrollo personal y social sólo ocurre si es una experiencia agradable y gratificante, con las consiguientes implicaciones para la calidad de la enseñanza.
