Using interactive learning techniques in the study of Chinese folk songs / <i>Técnicas de aprendizaje interactivo para el estudio de canciones populares chinas</i>

The objective of this research is to ascertain the efficacy of interactive instructional methodologies in the exploration of Chinese folk songs. The observation reveals that the main components of Chinese folk songs are singing in unison, music mode structure, variety of rhythmic patterns, contemplative moods, phonetic peculiarities of language, unity of music and textual elements. These indicators show that duplicate sound effects, the twelve-tone technique (scale), no semitones between sounds, the bright melodic patterns, the conciseness of poetry and the unity of phonetic and musical characteristics are the typical features of Chinese Taoist music. The interactive technologies were used to implement the training modules based on the online applications (Vocaberry, Vanido, Vocalizzo Lite, Forte and Ummo). The investigation into the efficacy of students’ knowledge establishes that before instruction, a heightened degree of practical aptitude was exhibited by 21% within the first group and 19% within the second group. After the training, the indicators were 72% and 68%, respectively. The research’s practical significance is the improvements in the educational process for teaching Chinese folk songs based on interactive technologies.
