6. Early Musical Education as a Premise for the Development of the Child’s Upright Personality

AbstractA person upright development is essentially connected to communication, and music is the language with the highest degree of communication, is the purest and deepest language, able to express the hidden, the essential, the spiritual. Musical education, achieved in all forms, contexts, periods, etc. under the mark of the upright development of human personality, means “wisdom, balance, love, inner light, harmony, “feeling”, etc.”. [I. Gagim]. Childhood, for this purpose, remains the fundamental stage for the subsequent development and initiation of the child in the “real” world, constituting at the same time, the foundation for his/her human “ becoming”.

Nowadays, social networks are daily used to share what people like, feel, where they travel to, etc. This huge amount of data can say a lot about their personality because it may reect their behaviour from the “real world” to the “virtual world”. Once obtained the access to this data, some authors have tried to infer the personality of the individual without the use of long questionnaires, only working with data in an implicit way, that is, transparently to the user. In this scenario, our work is focused on predicting one of the human personality traits, the Curiosity. In this paper, we analyse the information that can be extracted from the users’ profile on Facebook and the set of features that can be used to describe their degree of curiosity. Finally, we use these data to generate several prediction models. The best generated model is able to predict the degree of curiosity with an accuracy of 87%.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
