Abstract

One important goal of education is to prepare the students with relevant academic competencies and to support their more general well-being and motivation to learn. In this chapter, we will review studies focusing on mathematical skills learning, and the role various cognitive and motivational factors play, especially in the context of Chinese and Finnish education. We will also provide an overview of research, exploring new ways to facilitate learning in the schools by enriching instruction through art-based means, with a particular focus on music. Finally, we will discuss future directions in this line of comparative and multidisciplinary research.
