limited improvement of math or literacy attainment for music workshops compared to drama workshops

Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

This evaluation found no evidence that the ASP-music workshops had a greater impact than the ASP-drama workshops in terms of maths or literacy attainment. Although small effects (positive and negative) were identified during the analysis, it could not be concluded that these effects were anything other than random chance. Each of the two different types of music workshop (strings and singing) was also analysed separately. As was the case with the main analysis, neither strings nor singing workshops showed evidence of out-performing drama workshops in advancing maths or literacy attainment.

The aim of the impact evaluation was to measure the impact of the music components of the Act, Sing, Play programme, as delivered by Creative Futures, on the maths and literacy attainment of participating pupils, a subgroup of whom were eligible to receive Free School Meals. The ASP programme was developed specifically for this trial and ran from September 2013 to June 2014: 909 pupils participated in 19 schools across London, Essex, Sussex and Coventry. In each participating Year 2 class, pupils were randomly allocated to one of three groups: violin or cello workshops (ASP-strings), singing lessons (ASP-singing), or drama workshops (ASP-drama). The two music groups (strings and singing) represented the treatment arms of the trial. Students in the ASP-drama workshops represented the control. Each workshop had around 10 students. Workshops were held once a week over 32 weeks.
