บทคัดย่อ

          This study aimed to: (1) investigate the current situation and challenges of singing instruction at the College of Art Education at Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts in China; and (2) develop multimedia resources to support singing instruction for students at the same college. The sample consisted of 20 participants, including four vocal music teachers and 16 second-year music majors, selected through purposive sampling.

Research instruments included a literature review, semi-structured teacher interviews, multimedia resource development and implementation, and teacher-student questionnaires. Data were collected through document analysis, interviews, multimedia teaching experiments, and satisfaction surveys. Data analysis employed qualitative descriptive analysis, frequency analysis, and item-objective congruence (IOC) evaluation.

The findings were as follows:

1. 1. Although the College of Art Education is equipped with professional teaching facilities and qualified instructors, many students exhibited weak foundational vocal skills. This was mainly due to limited pre-college training and a heavier emphasis on cultural coursework, which hindered their comprehension and application of vocal techniques.


2. 2. A multimedia-based vocal teaching resource library was developed, featuring high-quality instructional videos and digital materials. When integrated with face-to-face instruction, this approach improved students' understanding of vocal techniques, increased their learning engagement, enhanced self-directed learning, and enabled teachers to monitor better and adapt to students’ learning needs.

The results confirm that incorporating multimedia technology into traditional vocal music pedagogy can effectively enhance teaching efficiency and learning outcomes in art education institutions.
