INTERACTIONS AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN THE CROSS-CULTURAL SYNCHRONOUS INSTRUMENTAL TEACHING CONTEXTS

This PhD study investigates interactions and learning experiences in synchronous online instrumental music teaching in cross-cultural learning contexts in higher education. Specifically, the study examines distance learning case studies of instrumental music education between Denmark and China.
The project will explore which factors affect the potential for interaction between teacher and student and how interactions affect the learning experience.
Qualitative case studies will reveal the learning strategies that arise when teachers from abroad interact with students who are in their home country and thus simultaneously exposed to multiple learning traditions. Thus, the interplay between the Western and non-Western educational tradition and practice is examined, based on a recognition that educational traditions originate from different foundations.
The project aims to produce applied knowledge for competence development and evaluation of virtual synchronous learning with a focus on the cross-cultural dimensions of instrumental music teaching at the conservatory level.
