Thesis (MMus) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the modern Western world, secondary and tertiary learners generally have ready
access to the use of computers, multimedia and the Internet. As a means to
strengthen traditional education, computer-based methods and materials are
increasingly being used in the education system and are also strongly recommended
by many educational experts. The use of such electronic educational means has
however resulted in various changes to the education system. Music educators, too,
are subject to these changes.
The aim of this study is to determine the extent to which computer-based education
can contribute to the strengthening of traditional music education of the Western
world. To this end, it is necessary to ascertain, in practice, the value of using
computer-based material for the purpose of music education.
A multimedia database of Xhosa music terminology was created in the Music
Department of Stellenbosch University, with high school learners and undergraduate
students as target group. In this thesis, the value of this database, as an example of
computer-based material for music education, is assessed. It is intended to extend
the database at a later stage through the addition of music terminology from other
indigenous music cultures. In its current form, the database thus forms part of a
larger whole and is not viewed as a completed enterprise.
On the basis of the literature that was studied for the investigation, it is determined
whether the multimedia database for Xhosa music terminology measures up to the
criteria for effective computer-based programmes. Suggestions are also made for
improving the database to ensure a more useful and user-friendly product. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die moderne Westerse wêreld het sekondêre en tersiêre leerders tans redelik
algemeen toegang tot die gebruik van rekenaars, multimedia en die Internet.
Rekenaargesteunde metodes en materiaal word toenemend ter versterking van die
tradisionele onderwysstelsel aangewend, en ook deur talle opvoedkundiges
aanbeveel. Die gebruik van dergelike elektroniese onderrigmiddele het egter verskeie
veranderings in die onderwysstelsel teweeggebring. Ook musiekopvoeders word
deur hierdie veranderings geraak.
Die doelstelling van hierdie navorsing is om te bepaal tot watter mate
rekenaargesteunde musiekonderrig 'n bydrae kan lewer tot die versterking van
tradisionele Westerse musiekonderrig. Om hierdie doelstelling te bereik, is dit
noodsaaklik om in die praktyk te bepaal watter waarde rekenaargesteunde
onderrigmateriaal het vir die doeleindes van musiekonderrig.
'n Multimediadatabasis van Xhosa musiekterme is in die departement Musiek aan die
Universiteit Stellenbosch geskep, met hoërskoolleerders en voorgraadse studente as
teikengroep. In hierdie tesis word die waarde van hierdie databasis, as 'n voorbeeld
van rekenaargesteunde onderrigmateriaal vir musiekonderrig, geëvalueer. Daar word
beoog om die databasis op 'n later stadium verder uit te brei deur ook musiekterme
uit ander inheemse musiekkulture by te voeg. Die databasis in sy huidige vorm maak
dus deel uit van 'n groter geheel en word nie as 'n afgehandelde databasis beskou
nie.
Op grond van literatuur wat vir die doel van die ondersoek bestudeer is, word bepaal
of die multimediadatabasis van Xhosa musiekterme voldoen aan die kriteria vir
doeltreffende rekenaargesteunde onderrigprogramme. Daar word ook voorstelle
gemaak oor hoe die databasis verbeter sou kon word om 'n meer bruikbare,
gebruikersvriendelike produk te verseker.
