ABSTRACT

The integration of contextual teaching methods in college aesthetic education, particularly in music appreciation courses, offers a transformative approach to engaging students and enhancing their learning experience. This paper discusses the application and improvement of situational teaching methods to create an immersive and interactive teaching environment, stimulate students’ interest in music and deepen their understanding of music. Based on constructivist learning theory, the contextual approach emphasizes the importance of context and active participation in the learning process. In the context of music appreciation, these approaches can involve a wide variety of techniques such as immersive listening experiences, multimedia presentations, and interactive discussions that connect music to its historical, cultural, and emotional context. By placing students in situations where they must critically engage with and reflect on the music, these approaches foster a deeper, more personal connection to the material.

Keywords: situational teaching, improvement, multimedia experiences, Cross-Disciplinary
