INFORMATIZATION OF EDUCATION IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION: THE ROLE OF “INTERNET OF MUSICAL THINGS” AND SMART MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY TEACHING PRACTICE

In the era of globalization, education is facing significant changes due to the progress of information and communication technologies. This paper explores the role of informatization in the educational process, with special reference to the application of Internet of Musical Things (IoMusT) and smart musical instruments in contemporary teaching practice. Globalization enables wider access to information and technologies, opening new opportunities for interactive and personalized learning. Smart musical instruments, connected to cloud platforms, using their knowledge about the goals of a specific lesson, enable students to develop musical abilities through innovative learning methods. Using artificial intelligence, these musical instruments can create customized instructions for students on how to practice, analyze students progress in performing compositions, and continuously improve by monitoring their progress. In addition, this paper discusses the challenges brought by standardization and technological integration in the educational system, while highlighting the opportunities for the development of IoMusT technologies in schools. In the context of contemporary educational practice, IoMusT technologies and smart musical instruments provide numerous advantages, such as increased students engagement, adaptation of teaching methods to the specific needs of each individual, and the connection of educational institutions. These technologies allow teachers to monitor students results and progress remotely using data generated during the interactive learning process. The integration of IoMusT technologies into the curricula of music education can contribute to the development of new forms of educational resources, enabling students to acquire skills that are necessary in the digital age. Through the analysis of existing research, the paper offers insight into the potential advantages of these technologies and explores how they can improve the educational process in the modern globalized society.
