Description
Summary:博士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 特殊教育學系所 === 97 === The purposes of this study were to explore the effects of DeLay’s systematic string technique training on the performance technique and performance anxiety of musically talented students in junior high school. The methods of this study included nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group designs in quasi-experimental research and in-depth interview technique in qualitative research. The participants were divided into the experimental group (n=17) and the control group (n=16). The experimental group received a twelve-week systematic string technique training while the control group received regular training. The employed instruments included Music Piece Selecting Sheet for Test, Performance Ability of String Techniques Rating Score Scale, Physiological Measurement of Performance Anxiety Scale and Music Performance Anxiety Inventory for Adolescent (MPAI-A). The quantitative analysis methods included correlated sample design One-way ANOVA and One-way ANCOVA. The qualitative data were collected from the experimental group by using the interview guide approach and the obtained data were examined and analyzed through triangulation and member checks. The main results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The Systematic String Technique Training had significant effects on improving the performance ability of string techniques at shifting, articulation, vibrato, bowing motion, strokes, coordination and quality of music performance in experimental group students. 2. After taking the Systematic String Technique Training lessons, students in experimental group did not experience high level performance anxiety at waiting stage-side during posttest. 3. Did not taking the Systematic String Technique Training lessons, students in control group still experience high level performance anxiety at waiting stage-side during posttest. 4. The Systematic String Technique Training had significant effects on reducing the level of performance anxiety at heart rates and systolic blood pressure in experimental group students. 5. The Systematic String Technique Training had significant effects on improving the level of self-perception performance anxiety at somatic and cognitive features, performance context and performance evaluation in experimental group students. 6. Most students of the experimental group had positive feedback about the effects of Systematic String Technique Training on improving their performance ability of string techniques and performance anxiety. Based on the findings of this study, some suggestions were proposed to teachers of musically talented, future study and musically talented students.
