- Musical learning and cognitive performancePublication . dos Santos-Luiz, Carlos; Coimbra, Daniela; Silva, Carlos Fernandes daAccording to literature, there are broad associations between music and cognitive abilities, which apparently result from the frequency of music lessons. The aim of the present work was to test these associations between a group of music students and a control group of students with no music education, thereby contributing toward understanding the link between music learning, intelligence, and academic achievement. The Battery of Reasoning Tests (BPR/7-9), collated for the Portuguese population, as well as the academic classifications of two groups of students, provided the basis for this study’s quantitative analysis. The sample population comprised students who frequented Year 7 of the basic music course in specialist music education and of the basic course in mainstream education (no music lessons). Compared with the students in the control group, those in the groups which included formal music education showed increases in their general capacity of reasoning (g factor) and in tasks of spatial and numerical reasoning. Equally, there were increases in academic achievement. The results suggest that the duration of exposure to music lessons is associated with an increased intelligence and increased academic achievement.
- Relação entre matemática e música : sistematização de conteúdos segundo os programas de matemática do 5º ao 12º anos do ensino portuguêsPublication . dos Santos-Luiz, Carlos; Mónico, Lisete dos Santos Mendes; Silva, Carlos Fernandes da; Campelos, SandraAs ligações entre matemática e música são investigadas há milhares de anos. Este artigo consta de uma sistematização das associações entre conteúdos matemáticos e conteúdos musicais. Estes últimos foram divididos em Teoria e análise musicais, Acústica e Composição musical. Consecutivamente, os conteúdos de cada temática musical foram sistematizados com base na organização dos domínios de conteúdos matemáticos do Programa de Matemática do Ensino Básico e dos temas matemáticos dos Programas de Matemática A e B do 11º e 12º anos do Ensino Secundário português. Concluímos que os conteúdos musicais estão associados às áreas da matemática concernentes às Aritmética, Álgebra, Trigonometria e, especificamente, Geometria.
