APPLICATION RESEARCH THROUGH FEYNMAN’S LEARNING METHOD ON THE MUSIC INSTRUCTION OF STUDENTS COLLEGES, CHINA

Abstract

La The objectives of this study were to 1) To study knowledge level by Feynman's learning method in the music instruction of college. 2) To study the feasibility by Using Feynman’s Learning Method in The Music instruction of college students. The sample size of 286 was determined with Taro Yamane table. This survey has two parts, the questionnaire and interview survey, and teaching process. Research Instruments includes 1) The Chinese and English questionnaires of "Questionnaire on the Use of Feynman Learning Method". 2) Teaching plans combined with the principles of Feynman’s learning method. 3) Quiz questions of the experimental class and three control classes. 4) Quiz scores of the experimental class and three control classes. The study collected data by means of mathematical statistics, which found 1) Over 80% of teachers and over 85% of students have little knowledge of the Feynman’s learning method, so overcoming the problem of insufficient understanding is necessary when applying it. 2) It is feasible to promote the Feynman’s learning method in music education in universities, and it can achieve good results. The classes using the Feynman’s learning method had average scores in in-class quizzes that were 4.3, 4.5, and 6.5 points higher than three classes using traditional teaching methods, respectively. 3) The application of the Feynman’s learning method in music education in universities requires multiple strategies.
