OUR RESEARCH:
The Arts MAKE A DIFFERENCE
1. Music Education and school engagement
Federal Education Policy has placed an emphasis on evaluating school effectiveness using testing data. The Every Student Succeeds Act guides the assessment of public schools and allows for measures beyond standardized test scores. Researchers have studied the effects of the well-roundedness of the educational experience by examining the relationships between various school and extracurricular activity participation and school success.
Study results indicate that music study has a relationship with academic performance; more specifically, with standardized reading and mathematics tests, grade point averages, and college entrance exams.
Johnson, Eason, et al. extended this research by examining the effect of music education on student school engagement and academic achievement.
We found that the quantity and quality of Music Education experience does seem to have a considerable effect on both the level of School Engagement and on Academic Achievement. Music education was defined by both the semesters enrolled, as well as the quality of the program. All variables were examined using Structural Equation Modeling techniques.
We found if a student participates in a high-quality music program, they are more likely to have higher attendance, cause fewer problems, get better grades, perform better on tests, and graduate on time. Our results demonstrate that a fine music education has a positive influence on a student’s engagement with a school environment and a positive impact on academic success
