Technology-Enhanced Creativity in K-12 Music Education: A Scoping Review
International Journal of Music Education, v42 n4 p691-703 2024
This scoping review addresses internationally published empirical studies on the subject of technology-enhanced creativity. The study aims to identify the types of technological tools used to enhance students' creativity and examine how technological tools can support students' creativity in K-12 music education. This review selected and analyzed 17 studies published from 1987 to 2022 in peer-reviewed journals using a rigorous five-stage scoping framework. Data extraction and analysis were conducted in Covidence. The results revealed eight types of technological tools used to enhance creativity in the music classroom, in which sequencer software and GarageBand were the most commonly used type of technological tools and applications respectively. Technology's support for creativity was also discussed from the perspectives of Lubart's four roles of computers: (a) computer as nanny, (b) computer as pen-pal, (c) computer as coach, and (d) computer as colleague. The results showed a dearth of research on how technology can become students' partners to help them generate creative ideas. Based on the findings, this review concluded with implications and recommendations for future research.
