Objective of this survey is to detect experience of teachers working with children gifted in music. 8 teachers from Vilnius choir singing school “Liepaitės” have participated in this survey.  Teachers representing different education stages and subjects were selected to identify overall picture of experience in education of children gifted in music. Semi-structured interview was employed to reveal in-depth experience from teacher‘s position, understand his position, feelings, how he works with children gifted in music. Thematic analysis method was employed for data analysis. Thee most significant themes were emphasized in interview data analysis: identification of children gifted in music, meeting demands for musical expression of children with different musical abilities and professional self-perception of the music teachers. Analysis of Lithuanian education instruments disclosed that children gifted in music have special needs and adequate education is necessary to meet them. Children gifted in music are educated in music schools. Music education in these schools is increasingly oriented towards meeting demands of the students for musical expression, purposeful extracurricular activities of students. Students with very different level of musical abilities are educated in music schools. One of the most critical challenges in this context is the issue of organizing education, identifying those who are mostly gifted in music and facilitating successful development of their musical abilities and on the other hand ensuring high quality music education for children with lower musical abilities. Results of the survey indicate that in identifying children gifted in music and establishing level of their musical abilities teachers build on their experience and assume the role of an expert, however they consider this a very complicated matter. Analysis of teachers’ experience indicate that collective musical activity (choir) is a very efficient tool to meet demands for musical expression of students with different musical abilities. Most students feel urged for achieving high learning results. Concert activities, continuous school traditions, consistency of education, continuity and succession, individual approach towards every student are elements which contribute most to the students’ motivation for learning. Results of the survey revealed that teachers feel satisfaction with their profession, employment position and it contributes to the possibility of being a member of powerful school community and team of professional teachers. Teachers analyse, perceive arising problems. They are concerned about the fact that some parents of the students regard musical education of the children as entertainment and not a systematic, responsible learning. Outdated programs, repertoire are indicated as a weakness. Teachers reflect on their activity and feel the demand for adaptation and changes in the context of dynamics of modern education.

Education And Development

Considering the long-term talent development, from the moment of its recognition to the moment when an adult is confronted with the necessity of integration in the professional music and life streams, we wonder whether education satisfies the needs of talents and provides, in the long run, the necessary knowledge and skills. The aim of this research was to investigate: (1) the initial motivation for learning music and expectations from music education; (2) the course of development of young musicians (the degree of self-actualisation, developmental perspectives, evaluation of music education) and (3) outcomes of music education and development of the professional career. The sample (N=487) consisted of five subsamples: music kindergarten pupils, students of primary music schools, students of secondary music schools, university students of music and teachers at music schools and universities. The paper analyses psychological, educational and professional aspects of education of musically gifted pupils and students, as well as music teachers in five successive age groups. The results indicate that with an increase in age there is a considerable increase in the variety and scope of expectations and a higher aspiration towards personal, educational and professional lifelong improvement, while, at the same time, there is a considerable decrease in the level of fulfilment of expectations and the level of assessment of self-actualisation. This is indicative of a continuously present feeling of ?hidden underachievement? in the group of (relatively) successful young musicians and professionals. Analysis of respondents? answers points out to the existence of still traditional system of music education, which lacks flexibility and innovation and fails to provide a sufficient level of transferable knowledge and skills. The findings point out to a whole cluster of controversies demanding further reconsideration and (re)designing of the curriculum of (high) music education.

The training of midwives in recent years has been consistent with the development of technology, the growing demands of the field of obstetric services, from patients and legislative changes, but, nevertheless, the emphasis has not yet been placed on mastering professional skills and communication. Clinical practice is a form of training associated with high responsibility, good theoretical training and mastered skills and competencies during training sessions. During clinical practice, students should master a number of practical skills, they should be able to develop the necessary confidence and the necessary professional self-esteem. Proper and appropriate organization of clinical practice contributes to the creation of positive motivation for learning, the development of cognitive interests that were once formed, become active internal factors for improving the quality, effectiveness and selfesteem in relation to educational activities. The activities of teachers and mentors should be aimed at working more closely with students during clinical practice, so that they can prepare well and fully independently during practical training to perform the specified skills. Motivation is important for creating a professional orientation that is passed on by practitioners and is a prerequisite for choosing a future workplace for students. Mentors from training bases are people who can guide young professionals to train them, educate them on professional responsibility, and teach them how to communicate with patients and colleagues. Students need daily incentives for active, purposeful and constant efforts for all types of activities, so that they can gain the necessary confidence and be ready for the requirements of their chosen profession.

This book is an introduction to quantitative research design and data analysis presented in the context of music education scholarship. The book aims for readers to come away with a familiarity of prototypical research design possibilities as well as a fundamental understanding of data analysis techniques necessary for carrying out scientific inquiry. The book includes examples that demonstrate how the methodological and statistical concepts presented throughout can be applied to pertinent issues in music education. For the majority of Part I, the strategy is to present traditional design categories side by side with explanations of general analytical approaches for dealing with data yielded from each respective design type. Part II consists of chapters devoted to methodological and analytical approaches that have become common in related fields (e.g., psychology, sociology, general education research, educational policy) but are as yet not frequently exploited by music education researchers. Ultimately, this work is motivated by a desire to help scholars acquire the means to actualize their research curiosities and to contribute to the advancement of rigor in music education research throughout the profession at large.
