Relationship between the Use of ICT in Secondary Education Music Teaching and Teachers’ Beliefs

Abstract

The use of ICT in teaching has ostensibly increased over the last few years, especially due to distance teaching imposed during the pandemic. Our study aims to understand how Music teachers use ICT and how it relates to their beliefs regarding its pedagogical value for teaching and learning. We adopt a quantitative methodology based on a survey-type design first and an ex post facto design in the second stage. The results show limited use of ICT among secondary school Music teachers generally, and how its degree of use (high, medium, low) correlates with their beliefs regarding their pedagogical value, i.e., higher value leads to more frequent use. Therefore, ICT use should be promoted to reach broader acceptance and integration in Music teaching.
