EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF THE TRAINING METHODS AIMED AT BACHELORS OF MUSICAL ART IN DEVELOPING OF PUPILS’ AUDIAL CULTURE

The content of an experimental study devoted to testing the effectiveness of the methodology for training future Music teachers in the development of pupils' audial culture is revealed in the article. The audial culture of schoolchildren in the study is presented as part of their musical culture, the entire methodological and pedagogical training of students being aimed at its formation. The methodology, consisting of target-oriented, theoretical, methodical, musical and informative as well as productive analytical units, is aimed at improving the proficiency quality of bachelors majoring in musical art to form the audial culture of schoolchildren. It is grounded that the students themselves should have this kind of musical culture in order their work with schoolchildren to be more effective. The target-oriented unit of the methodology includes the formulation of the goal and the development of a strategy for its achievement. Since the goal is to increase the level of students' audial culture and proficiency to form schoolchildren's audial culture, the determination of levels is considered as a strategy of the target-oriented unit. For this purpose, it was necessary to conduct an ascertaining experiment in which the criterial apparatus was used, a 4-point grading scale and special diagnostic methods. The forming experiment represented a step-by-step implementation of the methodology, which was based on the environmental, acmeological, axiological and technological approaches and corresponding pedagogical principles. It is shown that the methodology was implemented in stages: at the instructive-reflexive, perceptual-enriching and practice-independent stages. According to them, three pedagogical conditions and specially developed methods were implemented. The fourth condition was characterised as crosscutting, as it was related to the music content-oriented block. The productive and analytical unit contained a number of necessary procedures to confirm the effectiveness of the developed methodology. The Fisher criterion was used for calculations alongside with the other ones. According to the hypotheses put forward by the Fisher criterion, the number of students who showed positive results in the experimental group was 66.7%, and in the control group ‒ 38, 4%. The criterion of the Fisher transformation confirmed the effectiveness of the developed methodology.
