Abstract

ALBORNOZ, Yadira. Emotion, music and meaningful learning. Educere [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.44, pp.67-73. ISSN 1316-4910.

The following essay examines the influence of the emotional factor in learning and how this factor, often ignored in educational practice, can give a meaning to the learning process. Different theoretical perspectives (behavioral, cognitive, constructivist, pedagogy of liberation, meaningful learning) have contributed to conceptualize the learning process, however; they tangentially discus the emotional phenomenon within this process. Music and specifically educational music therapy systematically, with techniques and models adapted to individual and/or group needs in the classroom, incentive exploring the emotional establishing self-knowledge and therefore developing meaningful strategies to face and solve learning problems.

Keywords : Emotion; music; learning process and emotion; music therapy.
