Abstract

The objectives of the study were to: 1) compare the vocal music skills of the Secondary 5 (Grade 11) students before and after learning management through the traditional method, 2) compare the vocal music skills of the Secondary 5 (Grade 11) students before and after learning management through direct instruction model, and 3) compare the vocal music skills of the Secondary 5 (Grade 11) students between those after learning through the traditional method with those after learning through the direct instruction model. The sample group was 30 Secondary 5 (Grade 11) students at Beijing Modern Music School, in Beijing, China in the academic year 2022. The samples were selected by cluster random sampling. The instruments consisted of: 1) the learning management plan using the traditional method, 2) the learning management plan using the direct instruction model, and 3) the assessment form of vocal music skills. The statistics used to analyze the data were mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, and dependent samples t-test. The results showed that: 1) the vocal music skills the Secondary 5 (Grade 11) students after learning through the traditional method were higher than those before learning at the statistical significance level of .05; 2) the vocal music skills of the students after learning through the direct instruction model were higher than those before learning at the statistical significance level of .05; and 3) the vocal music skills of the students after learning through direct instruction model were higher than those after learning through the traditional method at the statistical significance level of .05.
