The role of self-efficacy in the musical practice of elderly people. A scoping review
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
This study aims to characterize scientific production of knowledge about self-efficacy, the elderly and musical practices. This is a scoping review, based on searches covering the period from 2001 to 2021, resulted in the selection of nine articles that were published in the areas of psychology, music, health and education. General self-efficacy was found to be as much as musical self-efficacy, with studies on sources of self-efficacy in the elderly in musical practice resulting in only one article being published in 20 years. The articles highlight the importance of the teacher in shaping the self-efficacy beliefs of elderly music practitioners. Sources of self-efficacy are considered a priority for music teachers, choirmasters, and facilitators in pedagogical activities. More research is needed on sources of self-efficacy, since self-efficacy beliefs can unfold in excellent learning strategies that generate self-confidence among elderly people.
