Abstract

This study explored the potential of integrating educational technology (EdTech) into secondary school singing classes by proposing a flipped learning-based instructional design. Digital tools such as ‘Riyaz,’ ‘Sing Sharp,’ and ‘7 Minute Vocal Warm Up’ were utilized to structure activities like vocalization, breathing exercises, singing of prescribed songs, and recording with a smart vocal monitor. The study found that the use of EdTech not only achieved the primary goal of improving singing abilities but also provided substantial educational value by fostering self-directed learning, enhancing communication skills, and promoting emotional stability. Furthermore, it was found to be an effective method to increase participation among students who are typically passive or anxious about singing activities and to overcome the limitations of traditional singing education. Recommendations based on the findings include: teachers should develop their technology management skills and adapt to changes; learners should be clearly guided on using the media, linking motivation with main activities; singing should be integrated into daily life rather than limited to single classes; and continuous evaluation, reflection, and improvement in teaching practices should be pursued to ensure alignment with the digital era.
