Summary
Technology in music studios enhances creative musicianship by boosting performance self-efficacy. Teacher support strengthens this link, highlighting the value of tech-integrated learning environments for music students.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Music Education
- Psychology of Music
Background:
- Creative musicianship is crucial in music education.
- The role of technology in studio design and its impact on creativity requires further investigation.
- Understanding the mediating factors, such as performance self-efficacy, is essential for optimizing learning environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the predictive correlation between technology-enhanced studio design and creative musicianship.
- To investigate the mediating effect of performance self-efficacy.
- To explore the conditional impact of teacher autonomy support and mastery goal orientation.
Main Methods:
- Survey data collected from 418 undergraduate music students in China.
- Validated scales used to measure technology-enhanced studio design, creative musicianship, performance self-efficacy, teacher autonomy support, and mastery goal orientation.
- Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analyzed using SmartPLS software.
Main Results:
- Technology-enhanced studio design positively influenced creative musicianship and performance self-efficacy.
- Performance self-efficacy was positively related to creative musicianship, mediating the effect of technology-enhanced studio design.
- Teacher autonomy support acted as a strengthening mediator, while mastery goal orientation did not significantly moderate the indirect effect.
Conclusions:
- Technology-enhanced studio design is vital for fostering creative outcomes in music education.
- Performance self-efficacy plays a key role in mediating the relationship between technology-enhanced learning and creative musicianship.
- Autonomy-supportive teaching environments that leverage technology can enhance students' competence beliefs and sustain creative interest.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...
Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...
Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring
Self-monitoring is a central construct in understanding individual differences in self-presentation strategies across social contexts. It refers to how individuals observe, regulate, and control their expressive behavior and self-presentation following situational cues. Self-monitoring reflects a person's sensitivity to social appropriateness and willingness to adapt behavior to fit varying interpersonal demands.High vs. Low Self-Monitoring IndividualsIndividuals high in self-monitoring are...
