Interactive digital tools in theoretical music learning among secondary school students at an educational institution in Chiclayo, 2025

Abstract

Abstract

The research addresses the use of interactive digital tools in music theory learning, responding to the need to overcome the limitations of the traditional model and explore innovative alternatives that have been little studied in the field of education. The objective was to evaluate the effect of these tools on the music theory learning of first-year secondary school students at an educational institution in Chiclayo during 2025. The research was based on a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, using a questionnaire applied to a sample of 50 students selected from a population of 100. The results showed that the experimental group significantly increased their theoretical knowledge compared to the control group, after the application of the intervention program called “Strengthening our music theory learning through digital tools.” It is concluded that interactive digital tools have a significant effect on music theory learning in secondary school students. As a main contribution, the study provides an empirical basis that supports the incorporation of digital resources in music teaching in regular basic education, encourages pedagogical innovation in a traditional field, and provides music teachers with alternative teaching methods to improve their students' motivation and learning.
