In Search of Approaches to Development of Electronic Educational Resource “Musical Culture of China” for Students of Russia Pedagogical Universities

Abstract

The article examines the contradictions that caused the need for digital support for the process of learning the musical culture of China by future music teachers of Russia. In search of approaches to the development of such software, the authors come to the idea of the expediency of creating an electronic educational resource “Musical Culture of China”. The methodological basis for determining its content and structure was the musicological, psychological and pedagogical approaches. In their entirety, they provide a multi­vector characteristic of the identity of Chinese musical culture, its national characteristics. This resource has two levels, basic and advanced. When describing each of them, the justification of their block­ modular construction and the pedagogical purpose of all the selected structural components are given. At the basic level, students get acquainted with the predominantly knowledge component. The content of the advanced level is aimed at expanding the acquired knowledge and their practical application. The work with this electronic educational resource helps to increase the readiness of future teachers to implement the acquired knowledge and practical skills in their professional activities when introducing students to Chinese musical culture in musical­ instrumental, musical­plastic and vocal­choral activities.
