Using Background Music in the Classroom to Effectively Enhance Concentration Within the Learning Environment

Sigman, Kristin J.

Abstract Details

2005, Masters in Education, Marietta College, Education.
Educators may encounter many challenges within the classroom when it comes to the distractions that students face. Not all students come to school with a clean slate that enables them to be willing, able, and ready to learn. Yet society still expects the teachers to teach all students and for all of the students to learn. Research has shown that music may be an effective tool at breaking down some of these barriers of the learning process. When music is properly used as a background enhancer, a learner's ability to concentrate within the classroom environment increases. This researcher used quantitative data to try to support an increase in concentration due to background music that is being played in the classroom environment.
