Abstract

The present study addresses the lack of an instructional design methodology that guides the integration of technology in music listening and composition activities and enriches the framework of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) with the affective domain. The authors propose a design methodology derived from the application of TPCK in music and provide empirical evidence collected from a three-cycle design-based research implemented in an experimental setting. Besides its practical contribution, the research has also a theoretical significance for the theory of TPCK as it examines the interrelations between music content, technology, cognition, and affect. The findings presented concern the knowledge related to the structure-and-analysis and the emotional expressions of two musical selections presented through animated listening maps.
