The Impact of Music on Problem-Solving Abilities and Logical Thinking of Students in Vietnamese Education

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of music on the problem-solving abilities and logical thinking skills of students within the context of Vietnamese education. Music has long been recognized for its potential to enhance cognitive processes, and its impact on various aspects of human development has been widely studied. However, there is a dearth of research specifically focusing on the relationship between music and cognitive abilities in the Vietnamese education system. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative measures and qualitative analysis. A sample of students from different grade levels in Vietnamese schools will be selected, and they will be divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive music-based interventions, involving activities such as listening to music, engaging in rhythmic exercises, and learning to play musical instruments, while the control group will not receive any specific musical interventions. The findings of this study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the relationship between music and cognitive abilities, particularly within the Vietnamese education system. It is anticipated that the results will provide empirical evidence supporting the integration of music-based activities in educational settings to promote problem-solving skills and logical thinking among students. The study's outcomes may also inform educational policymakers and curriculum developers in Vietnam, offering insights into the potential benefits of incorporating music into the educational framework to enhance cognitive development.
