The result is interesting and amazing. Scientists explained that the mood of the children had changed. After they had been listening to pop music for some time, they got more aroused and tried harder. They were enjoying the pop music and so they were well motivated. The others were uninterested by Mozart or by the discussion. All these suggest a new approach in the future to the way we will be teaching pupils.
