THE ROLE OF MUSIC LESSONS IN DEVELOPING THE SKILLS OF GENERATION ALPHA

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the changed communication habits of Generation Alpha and to highlight correlations that influence the development of this generation's social skills. Due to the influence of time spent in digital spaces, this generation's relationship with communities is no longer based solely on personal interaction. However, this process affects the development of social skills in the digital generation, such as empathy, cooperation, responsibility, conflict management, and problem solving. The increasingly frequent and rapid processing of short video clips on social media inevitably influences the generation's information-processing methods, and these changes are already noticeable in the educational materials students are expected to learn. In educational sociology research, it is particularly important to reflect on social and labour market changes when considering educational methodologies. Taking all this into account, the spread of digital tools and the increasingly frequent use of artificial intelligence-based programs in the workplace make it even more necessary to pay closer attention to the development of Generation Alpha children's soft skills, in addition to their hard skills. My goal in this study was to find an early development opportunity for members of Generation Alpha that could be incorporated into the elementary school curriculum, thereby creating equal opportunities for children to develop the skills in question at an early age. Therefore, I sought to create an innovative solution that could be made available to all primary school children without significant changes to the curriculum.
