Sažetak
The use of computers, specialized software, and online resources has the potential to make piano education more accessible and motivating. This study consisted of two interrelated investigations: a preliminary survey of 150 piano teachers at Peking University (ages 19-56) to obtain information on the development and implementation of a technologically enhanced teaching system, followed by an experimental evaluation. The teachers’ survey was conducted to understand potential implementation issues and opportunities. The subsequent experimental study assessed the effectiveness of this system with two groups of students (N = 180): the experimental group (n = 90) used a teacher-informed, technology-based system, while the control group (n = 90) adhered to traditional teaching methods. Results showed significantly higher scores in the experimental group (M = 85.54, SD=10.01) compared to the control group (M = 75.32, SD = 12.21), t = 2.234, p < 0.001, with a moderate effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.562). The survey revealed that although teachers recognized the potential benefits of integrating technology (43% noted increased student motivation, and 17% valued flexible access to materials), they also identified critical implementation challenges, such as difficulties in selecting appropriate software (52%) and limited individual control in virtual environments (44%). The results suggest that technologically enhanced piano education (when developed with teacher input) can effectively improve student performance in the context of Peking University. The practical significance of the article lies in demonstrating how modern information technologies can improve piano teaching, highlighting both the advantages and disadvantages of such integration.
