Biotechnological Advancements in Music Education at Colleges and Universities: Leveraging Multimedia Computer-Assisted Teaching

Abstract

This research delves into the intersection of biotechnological advancements and music education within the context of colleges and universities, focusing on the innovative approach of leveraging Multimedia Computer-Assisted Teaching (MCAT). The primary objective is to enable students to harness their creativity and enhance their musical literacy through the incorporation of cutting-edge biotechnology. The study introduces the foundational concepts of modern multimedia technology while emphasizing its compelling relevance in the music education realm. It also explores the pivotal roles of both educators and students in this transformative learning process. Using a university as a representative example, this research meticulously examines the strategic application of modern multimedia technology in the field of music education. Survey results uncover students' perspectives on the integration of biotechnological advancements and multimedia technology in music education. Notably, 69.6% of student’s express enthusiasm for the fusion of biotechnology with music teaching, while 14.9% remain neutral, 5.1% hold a contrary opinion, and 10.4% consider the matter inconsequential. Furthermore, 45.4% of students express a strong preference for utilizing multimedia technology during class introductions, 29.6% advocate for its use in summarizing class content, and a remarkable 85.3% envision its application when conveying critical musical knowledge points. Moreover, it is evident from student feedback that some instructors encounter challenges in ensuring comprehensible delivery, particularly when conveying complex musical concepts. As a result, 77.4% of students express a desire to incorporate modern technology, guided by biotechnological advancements, to enhance their music listening experiences. This enhancement promises a more intuitive grasp of musical expression and background. In Conclusion, this research endeavors to promote the synergistic integration of biotechnological advancements, multimedia technology, and music education within the academic landscape of colleges and universities. This integration seeks to ignite students' passion for active learning and enable educators to harmonize their professional expertise with the captivating possibilities of biotechnological innovation in music.
