Syftet med studien är att hitta och testa metoder för att effektivisera instuderingen av musikstycken. Några metoder för att effektivisera övningen valdes ut och testades på preludier ur Das Wohltemperierte Klavier av J.S. Bach. Efter varje övningspass noterades övningstiden (med 1 minuts noggrannhet) och en kort sammanfattning av vad som gjordes under övningspasset. Den totala övningstiden fram tills musikstyckena uppnått studiens kriterier för att vara ”klart” jämfördes med grundtestet för att se om övningstiden förkortats märkbart genom att använda sig av den metod som testats. De element som upplevdes ha fungerat och som har stöd i litteraturen samlades ihop och beskrevs. Efter detta övades verket Thème Varié av Francis Poulenc in med den metod som blev resultatet av studien.

Society depend on good education for preparing its citizens to meet the demands of tomorrow. In the last decades, society has gone through a digital revolution that has changed how social bearing institutions and organizations integrate with each other on an evolutional level. This digitization has seeped its way into our schools as well, but with varied results. While organizations like those of the retail genre has benefited massively of the digitization with features like online shopping and personalized ads, the schools have in some cases seen worse results from students using digital means. Until this day, digitization of the education sector has proved to be most challenging and has not yet digitally evolved in a beneficial way for all students and schools. That means we have to look more deeply into what makes a good digital tool for students that actually enhances the results. Thus the questions asked in this research are: How can digital exercise platforms be designed to promote effective learning? By interviewing teachers from modern day schools, we can see that there is a wide variety of apps and tools for students to use and it is up to the teacher to find the best suitable ones, which might be an extremely time consuming and challenging process to navigate the sea of apps. Many of the apps lacks a sound pedagogy, or they might be too expensive or have ads that creates distractions and lowers motivation. This creates a gap in the efficient learning process. That gap can be filled by teachers and developers identifying shortage of motivation, reflection, goal orientation and social learning. Thus, as a secondary research question I ask: How can we implement a gatekeeping process by identifying gaps in efficient learning for apps in the educational sector?
