Abstract

This report is divided into two parts: Professional Practice Report (PP) and Pedagogical Intervention Project (PIP). The first part is a description of the journey accomplished within the professional internship done during the school year 2022/2023, at the Conservatório de Música do Porto (CMP). This report aims to highlight the activities developed in the initiation to Supervised Teaching Practice, in the specialty area of instrument teaching (Chant and Gregorian Chant), as well as all the research applied to the design, development, implementation and evaluation of a PIP, under the scientific guidance of Doctor Sofia Serra, and pedagogical guidance of Professor Liliana Coelho. The PIP, under the theme, "Case study about the use of a pedagogical website as a motivational and self-regulatory tool for the individual study of singing", has as main objective to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a pedagogical website, in the motivation and self-regulation of the individual study of singing of the students participating in this project, as well as its impact in the classroom context. This intervention was implemented in CMP, during the 3rd period of the school year 2022/2023 and had as participants four students, three from the Basic Singing Course (BSC), attending the 7th, 8th and 9th grades, and one from the Basic Gregorian Singing Course (BGSC), attending the 9th grade. The research methodology, qualitative in nature, followed an Action-Research approach, centered on a case study. The techniques and instruments used for collecting and producing results were: direct and participant observation, observation grids, field notes recorded in a logbook, audiovisual records (videos, audio recordings and photographs), two questionnaire surveys applied to the students (one before and one after the pedagogical intervention) and documentary research regarding the students' final assessment record. Statistical analysis and content analysis were the techniques used to interpret and analyze all the quantitative and qualitative results of this research. The results obtained show that the use of a pedagogical website has had a very positive impact on the motivation and self-regulation of the students' individual study of singing, as they were able to optimize their time and improve the quality of their study; increase their self-regulation capacity, becoming increasingly autonomous and, in the classroom and performance context, there was an increase in motivation, self-confidence and level of preparation, which was reflected in levels of performance and school results of excellence.
