| Annotation: | The article substantiates the pedagogical technology focused on the formation of musical culture of university students through the appeal to modern genres of popular music. In the course of the research, the author’s pedagogical technology was created and experimentally tested — an optional (elective/special) course “Mindful listening: a guide to modern genres of popular music”, aimed at a consistent transition from passive musical consumption to meaningful cultural action. A diagnostic tool has been developed — a Rubricator of the artistic and value quality of popular music, which translates aesthetic judgment about musical works into a clearly organized and reasoned form; it allows determining the initial parameters of musical readiness of students and tracing the dynamics as technology is introduced. The experimental study demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed methodology: the participants of the experimental group achieved a significant increase in results, while in the control group there were only minor fluctuations in indicators. The proposed methodological recommendations are practice- oriented and can be integrated into the structure of existing university educational programs without a radical revision of the curriculum. The conducted tests allowed us to verify the hypothesis that the purposeful introduction of modern genres of popular music into the educational process is a significant factor in the formation of musical culture of students, while contributing to their spiritual, moral and patriotic education. The proposed measures are aimed at developing aesthetic taste, the ability to valueandmeaning reflection, the development of stable musical preferences, the skill of resisting mass cliches; at the same time, they form a willingness to cultural and educational practice, strengthening spiritual, moral and patriotic attitudes. Further work is related to the adaptation of the course to various educational profiles and areas of higher school education. | ||
