ABSTRACT

The introduction and verification of new teaching methods is of utmost importance nowadays since new generations of students evidently grow up and communicate differently from their predecessors. The aim of this work is to inspect the prospects and possibilities of integrating karaoke into the primary school classroom. The paper explores attitudes toward karaoke as a teaching method in relation to gender, age, and musical skills, aiming to identify ideal target group. General student and teacher attitudes toward karaoke are also examined, as well as teacher attitudes with respect to demographic data such as gender and field of education. Based on the findings of the conducted research, the paper proposes strategies which enable efficient integration of karaoke into the classroom by increasing students’ motivation and their satisfaction with education.
