Youth Orchestra

Youth orchestras are central to the music education of tens of thousands of children and teenagers throughout the world, yet studies of their social function, cultural significance, and pedagogical value remain largely unexplored. Even if students receive their principal musical training through individual lessons and school ensembles, participating in a separate youth orchestra can be a life-changing experience for many musicians. This article defines youth orchestras in an international context, and then articulates and measures the pedagogical value of them in one particular case study: the ethos and educational outcomes of the Young Australian Concert Artists program of the Australian Youth Orchestra.

RESUMO: O presente artigo descreve um estudo de caso que foi desenvolvido em uma escola pública de música do Estado de Minas Gerais. A pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o uso do ambiente virtual de Aprendizagem Moodle na aproximação dos pais no desenvolvimento musical de estudantes do 1º ciclo do curso de educação musical, voltado para o atendimento de crianças de 6 a 8 anos. Nesse ciclo, as crianças são introduzidas ao mundo dos estudos musicais e necessitam de todo o suporte para que se sintam confortáveis. Muitas vezes a falta de conhecimentos musicais dos pais impossibilita o apoio aos filhos, que acabam ficando desmotivados e, muitas vezes, chegam até a trancar seus cursos. Neste artigo são apresentados os resultados da pesquisa que inclui a condução de entrevistas, realização de atividades no ambiente educativo virtual e a análise de relatórios de acesso dos participantes, fornecidos pela própria plataforma EaD. Como resultado, verificou-se que essa ferramenta pode contribuir significativamente na aproximação dos pais no acompanhamento dos aprendentes em suas atividades musicais e por consequência na motivação e na aprendizagem dos estudantes. Além disso, constatamos crescimento nos indicadores de proficiência musical dos alunos por meio da avaliação de habilidades e competências específicas, bem como uma sensível redução na evasão. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem; musicalização infantil; recursos tecnológicos didáticos; família e escola.   ABSTRACT: This paper describes a case study that was developed in a public music school in the state of Minas Gerais. The research aimed at assessing the use of the Moodle platform to approach parents in the musical development of students from the 1st cycle of the music education course, aimed at attending children from 6 to 8 years old. In this cycle, children are introduced to the world of music studies and need all the support to make them feel comfortable. Often, the parents' lack of musical knowledge makes it impossible to support their children, who become unmotivated and often even lock up their courses. This article presents the results of the research that includes conducting interviews, conducting activities in the virtual educational environment and analyzing access reports of participants, provided by the e-learning platform itself. As a result, it was found that this tool can contribute significantly in bringing parents closer to the learners' accompaniment in their musical activities and consequently in students’ motivation and learning. In addition, we found growth in students' musical proficiency indicators through the assessment of specific skills and competences, as well as a marked reduction in dropout. KEYWORDS: virtual learning environments; children's musicalization; didactic technological resources; family and school.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

This paper addresses the fields of social and service design in development contexts, practice-based and constructive design research. A framework for social design for services will be explored through the survey of existing literature, specifically by drawing on eight doctoral theses that were produced by the World Design research group. The work of World Design researcher-designers was guided by a strong ethos of social and service design for development in marginalised communities. The paper also draws on a case study in Namibia and South Africa titled ‘My Dream World’. This case study presents a good example of how the social design for services framework functions in practice during experimentation and research in the field. The social design for services framework transfers the World Design group’s research results into practical action, providing a tool for the facilitation of design and research processes for sustainable development in marginal contexts.

This case study analyzes the potential impacts of weakening the National Park Service’s (NPS) “9B Regulations” enacted in 1978, which established a federal regulatory framework governing hydrocarbon rights and extraction to protect natural resources within the parks. We focus on potential risks to national parklands resulting from Executive Orders 13771—Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs [1]—and 13783—Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth [2]—and subsequent recent revisions and further deregulation. To establish context, we briefly overview the history of the United States NPS and other relevant federal agencies’ roles and responsibilities in protecting federal lands that have been set aside due to their value as areas of natural beauty or historical or cultural significance [3]. We present a case study of Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) situated within the Bakken Shale Formation—a lucrative region of oil and gas deposits—to examine potential impacts if areas of TRNP, particularly areas designated as “wilderness,” are opened to resource extraction, or if the development in other areas of the Bakken near or adjacent to the park’s boundaries expands [4]. We have chosen TRNP because of its biodiversity and rich environmental resources and location in the hydrocarbon-rich Bakken Shale. We discuss where federal agencies’ responsibility for the protection of these lands for future generations and their responsibility for oversight of mineral and petroleum resources development by private contractors have the potential for conflict.

Linguistic Approach

This paper demonstrates how a range of linguistic methods can be harnessed in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the ‘lived experience’ of psychological disorders. It argues that such methods should be applied more in medical contexts, especially in medical humanities. Key extracts from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath are examined, as a case study of the experience of depression. Combinations of qualitative and quantitative linguistic methods, and inter- and intra-textual comparisons are used to consider distinctive patterns in the use of metaphor, personal pronouns and (the semantics of) verbs, as well as other relevant aspects of language. Qualitative techniques provide in-depth insights, while quantitative corpus methods make the analyses more robust and ensure the breadth necessary to gain insights into the individual experience. Depression emerges as a highly complex and sometimes potentially contradictory experience for Plath, involving both a sense of apathy and inner turmoil. It involves a sense of a split self, trapped in a state that one cannot overcome, and intense self-focus, a turning in on oneself and a view of the world that is both more negative and more polarized than the norm. It is argued that a linguistic approach is useful beyond this specific case.
