Increasing the motivation of cadets for cooperation within the military-scientific section of the piano department

Aim. To review the conditions for increasing the motivation of cadets to work in the military-scientific section of the piano department, search for a conceptual change in the conduct of the military-scientific section (MSS) of the Military Institute (military conductors) of the Military University.

Research methods. In the experimental part of the work, within the framework of studying the activity criterion, the following methods were used: survey, observation and comparative analysis of the obtained materials.

Results. The combination of scientific discourses with musical performance practice significantly increases the number of cadets speaking during section meetings, which confirms the increase in cadets’ motivation for scientific research activities.

Theoretical and/or practical significance. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it proposes and empirically proves new forms of conducting the MSS, which contribute to increasing the motivation of cadets to work in the section including regular meetings with invited guests (musicians, scientists, professionals from related areas of art), regular reference to the topic of a special military operation (conversations with SMO fighters, adding questions about music at the front to the list of topics for the semester, etc.), including a performing component in the cadets’ report (mandatory playing, showing and musical performance in front of the audience of the work that was the subject of the study). The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in a military institute, the work of the MSS was completely redirected to a topic of interest to cadets, which helped to go beyond the classical ideas about the work of the MSS (for example, a quiz meeting, a concert meeting, etc.). These principles of conducting a military-scientific section can also be extrapolated to other sections.

Conclusions. The emphasis on including live music in section meetings (in the form of concerts[1]meetings with guests and musical accompaniment to their reports) with the correct calculation of the interests of the cadets will dramatically increase the level of motivation to work in the MSS.
