ABSTRACT One STEAM (STEM + Arts) strategy is to supplement traditional STEM instruction with music. Using music could provide the dual benefits of (1) making STEM content more accessible and (2) enhancing students’ engagement in the learning process. Here we explore the extent to which music-oriented high school students achieve these two benefits when they participate in ‘Songwriting To Learn’, a possible variation on the Writing To Learn (WTL) model of instruction. We analysed 81 artist statements, collected over 12 years at an annual science fair, in which students described their music compositions and the compositions’ connections to science. Rather than simply reporting scientific facts in song lyrics, these students used an impressive variety of musical elements (Genre, Instruments, Lyrics, and Structure [i.e. chords, dynamics, melody, rhythm]) as metaphors or symbols for science-related elements (Scientific Topic, Conveying Information, Affect, Personal Story, Scientific Story). Many students demonstrated a sophisticated attention to musical details and nuances, consistent with their frequent self-identification as musicians and/or music fans. Moreover, in composing and performing songs, these students fulfilled some of the key criteria by which scientific identities are developed, including the forging of personal connections to science. By writing songs about science, students may use their practice-linked identities in the domain of music to express their growing understanding in the domain of science.

学习歌曲创作:高中Science Fair参加者如何使用音乐传达个人相关的科学概念

摘要一种蒸汽(STEM + Arts)策略是用音乐补充传统STEM指导。使用音乐可以提供以下双重好处:(1)使STEM内容更易于访问;(2)增强学生在学习过程中的参与度。在这里,我们探讨了以音乐为导向的高中学生参加“学习写作”的情况,在多大程度上实现了这两个好处,这是“学习写作”(WTL)教学模式的一种可能变体。在一年一度的科学博览会上,我们分析了81种艺术家的陈述,这些陈述是在过去12年中收集的,学生在其中描述了他们的音乐作品以及这些作品与科学的联系。这些学生不仅使用简单的歌曲歌词报告科学事实,还使用了令人印象深刻的各种音乐元素(流派,乐器,歌词和结构[即和弦,动态,旋律,节奏]),将其用作与科学相关的元素(科学主题,信息传达,情感,个人故事,科学故事)的隐喻或符号。许多学生表现出对音乐细节和细微差别的高度关注,这与他们对音乐家和/或音乐迷的频繁自我认同相一致。此外,在创作和表演歌曲时,这些学生满足了发展科学身份的一些关键标准,包括建立了与科学的个人联系。通过写有关科学的歌曲,学生可以在音乐领域使用与实践相关的身份来表达他们在科学领域的不断增长的理解。许多学生表现出对音乐细节和细微差别的高度关注,这与他们对音乐家和/或音乐迷的频繁自我认同相一致。此外,在创作和表演歌曲时,这些学生满足了发展科学身份的一些关键标准,包括建立了与科学的个人联系。通过写有关科学的歌曲,学生可以在音乐领域使用与实践相关的身份来表达他们在科学领域的不断增长的理解。许多学生表现出对音乐细节和细微差别的高度关注,这与他们对音乐家和/或音乐迷的频繁自我认同相一致。此外,在创作和表演歌曲时,这些学生满足了发展科学身份的一些关键标准,包括建立了与科学的个人联系。通过写有关科学的歌曲,学生可以在音乐领域使用与实践相关的身份来表达他们在科学领域的不断增长的理解。包括与科学建立个人联系。通过写有关科学的歌曲,学生可以在音乐领域使用与实践相关的身份来表达他们在科学领域的不断增长的理解。包括与科学建立个人联系。通过写有关科学的歌曲,学生可以在音乐领域使用与实践相关的身份来表达他们在科学领域的不断增长的理解。
