Key Stage 3 pupils’ perception of music
Open accessAbstract
The key aim of the research summarised in this article was to examine pupils’ perception of music and to determine whether or not these perceptions were the same for both female and male pupils. The empirical enquiry consisted of the administration of a questionnaire to six secondary schools in the north-east of England followed by semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that pupil perception is related to gender role perceptions, with female adolescents exhibiting a more positive attitude to music than their male counterparts. It is therefore argued that more emphasis must be placed on changing male adolescents’ perception of music if their present position as passive consumers of school music is to change.

“The analysis of enjoyment rankings by gender in the mixed schools revealed that females ranked music as being more enjoyable than males, similarly to findings by Stables and Wikeley (1997), Button (2006) and Tossavainen and Juvonen (2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
