Investigating the Impact of Digital Game-Based Learning on Musical Education

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the impact of digital game-based learning (DGBL) on learners’ musical learning, in particular in piano performance. 30 piano majored students were recruited from a southern Chinese university and we expanded our previous work by using qualitative data analysis. Specifically, we adopted a thematic analysis through one-on-one interviews. We found several initial themes from this work, i.e., motivation and engagement enhancement, learning autonomy, and skill acquisition improvement. Our findings advocate for the integration of DGBL into music education to enhance the learning experience and point the way for future research to address existing challenges and expand the use of DGBL in a variety of educational settings.
