3. Learning through Music
b) Children's Knowledge Creation with Intelligent Agents in Music Education - Understanding for Optimizing Motivations
Learning is often considered by the child not as learning in formal sense, but as play, curiosity or exploration. The question is how and why this “joy of learning” emerges.
The need to investigate what happens when children interact with Virtual Reality (real-time interactive audiovisual) environments - where children through action and interaction can create and explore feedback, is central both in order to understand how the child's learning is evoked and how knowledge is communicated between child, artifact, and the environment. Furthermore, there is a need for deeper knowledge about the collaborative processes and intelligent forms of representations, which can bring VR as a pedagogical tool in education closer to children's curiosity and need to experiment and be challenged under the context of play. The aim of the project is partly to understand learning built upon children's communication (via action and interaction) with intelligent agents as guides in a VR environment. This knowledge can result in both pedagogical and technological development of the tools that children need as a resource in order to handle VR environments. The hypothesis is that characteristics of interaction with intelligent agents will stimulate children to new creative expression potentials and subsequently offer new opportunities for augmented communication and collaborative learning (scaffolding). The project will use VR environment for music education aiming at supporting children's non-formal learning in the ages between 6-10 years of age.
