Musical Activities

The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of children’s active, exploratorymanner of acquiring musical skills and knowledge in authentic processes ofperforming, creating, and listening to music as a form of a constructivist paradigmwithin the framework of music education (Webster, 2011; Wiggins, 2016). Withadequate support and motivation from teachers during the process of education,such activities can develop into the child’s self-organised musical activities. Duringthe conducted action research (AR), children’s musical activities were encouraged,tracked, and documented. With the appropriate support (“scaffolding”) andmotivation from preschool teachers, they have developed into self-organised creativemusical activities of children. It was concluded that a stimulating spatial and materialenvironment, active participation of children in the creation and organisation ofmusical activities, as well as adequate and unobtrusive encouragement and supportfrom preschool teachers can affect the increase in the frequency of self-organisedcreative and musical activities of children in the process of education. Throughthe AR, preschool teachers enrich and develop their competencies necessary forimplementing high-quality creative and musical activities, which are importantfor children and their development. The spontaneity and creativity of the childand the direct experience in musical and creative activities are forms of lifelongprofessional development and training of preschool teachers, who, because of thechildren, reinvent and excite their own, often repressed, creativity.Keywords: action research; lifelong learning of preschool teachers; preschool children;self-organised musical and creative activities. - U radu se želi ukazati na značaj djetetova aktivnoga, istraživačkog načina usvajanjaglazbenih vještina i znanja u autentičnim procesima izvođenja, stvaranja i slušanjaglazbe kao oblika konstruktivističke paradigme u okviru glazbenoga obrazovanja(Webster, 2011; Wiggins, 2016). Uz adekvatnu podršku i poticaj odgojitelja u odgojnoobrazovnomprocesu, takve aktivnosti mogu prerasti u djetetove samoorganiziraneglazbene aktivnosti. Tijekom provedenoga akcijskog istraživanja (AI) poticane su,praćene i dokumentirane djetetove glazbene aktivnosti koje su uz primjerenu podršku(„scaffolding“) i poticaj odgojitelja, prerasle u samoorganizirane glazbeno-stvaralačkeaktivnosti djece. Zaključeno je da poticajno prostorno-materijalno okruženje, aktivnosudjelovanje djece u kreiranju i organiziranju glazbenih aktivnosti te adekvatno inenametljivo poticanje i podrška odgojitelja, mogu utjecati na povećanje učestalostisamoorganiziranih glazbeno-stvaralačkih aktivnosti djece u odgojno-obrazovnomprocesu. Putem AI, odgojitelj obogaćuje i razvija svoje kompetencije koje su potrebneza provođenje kvalitetnih i za djecu i njihov razvoj značajnih glazbeno-stvaralačkihaktivnosti.

This review article discusses the use of action research in music education and its potential for producing knowledge and improving practice. The discussion is situated in an analysis of action research studies in music education. The review demonstrates that action research in music education focuses on a wide variety of subject matter, integrates research and action, is collaborative, grounded in a body of existing knowledge, and leads to powerful learning for the participants. However, few action research projects are cyclical, deal with aspects of social transformation, or broad historical, political or ideological contexts, and there is little focus on reflexivity. The review suggests that, in order to undertake high-quality action research, researchers need a good understanding of action research, a focused use of research literature and a defensible position with regard to data analysis and the generation of trustworthy findings.

Musical Activities

Music education in preschool period is of capital importance to allow individual to use basic education and develop positive attitude to music. The reason is that preschool education provides rich-stimulant environments that are suitable for development level and personal characteristics of early-aged individuals, and helps them to develop themselves in mental, physical, emotional and social terms, and also braces them for primary education. For this reason, the quality of musical activities by preschool teachers and the difficulties become crucial. This study, as a qualitative research, has focused on 20 teachers, commissioned in official preschool institutions in Trabzon-City Centrum during 2013-2014 education period, and it's been determined that teachers experience the difficulties due to musical activity applications, characteristics of teachers and in-service education needs.

Gender socialization has an impact on children and any gender stereotyped verbal comments or activities assigned to children by those in charge are bound to influence the attitudes children have of themselves. This exploratory study therefore set out to investigate among 36 Kenyan preschool teachers if they hold gender-stereotyped views and if they communicate these views to children during selection and use of play materials. To collect data, an observation schedule was used. T-tests were then performed to find specific intergroup differences. Teachers were found to influence children in a gender stereotyped manner with more influence being exerted on boys than on girls. This influence on the children may encourage the children to adopt gender roles that are not always fair to both genders. This study therefore advocates for the encouragement and training of teachers to adopt an androgynous gender role attitude. In this way teachers may also encourage this same attitude in preschool children.

‘Le musicien intervenant’ is a concept that has been developed in France especially to increase the scope of musical education, particularly in the elementary and pre-elementary schools. The ‘intervenants’ are not substitute teachers but are trained to work with school teachers as part of a team, offering children a high quality introduction to music. Intervenants also help to develop other musical activities in the localities where they work. Nine institutions throughout France (Centres de Formation de Musiciens Intervenant – CFMI) offer diploma courses. The author of this article is Director of the Centre at Lyon. He outlines his philosophy of music education, and describes some important aspects of his work – notably the commissioning of compositions that exploit contemporary musical ideas but are easily accessible for all children.

The study reported in this article investigates students’ experiences (n=41) of their primary school songcrafting, examining the potential to support creative agency within school music education programmes. Songcrafting refers to a collaborative composing practice in which everyone is considered to be a capable creator of melodies and lyrics, and where negotiation, collaboration, and openness to the situation are essential. Through semi-structured individual interviews with students who had experienced songcrafting in the past, analysed with qualitative methods, it was found that the students' narration of songcrafting included meanings related to general agency, creative agency, musical participation within the classroom community, and documented and shared collaborative musical products, or ‘oeuvres’.The results of this study illustrate the various often unforeseeable meanings produced through participation in collaborative musical activities. Furthermore, they highlight the potential to enrich meaningful teaching practices and pedagogy through the examination of students' experiences, and exploring the potentials in narrating one's musical stories. These findings suggest that music education practices could benefit from the inclusion of a broader range of opportunities for the students to create their own music, and the sensitive facilitation of collaborative music creation processes.
