In this study, we examined effectiveness of recorded models in the context of ensemble rehearsals. Over a 5-week treatment period, directors of three middle/junior high and two high school bands systematically included professional recordings as part of their preparation of selected pieces. Students completed weekly self-evaluation reports assessing their individual progress and their ensembles' progress on model and no-model pieces. Using numerical and free-response formats, students evaluated self-achievement and ensemble achievement on notes/rhythms, articulation/dynamics, tuning, and balance. Expert evaluations revealed no difference in achievement between model and no-model pieces on pretreatment and posttreatment performance recordings. Student evaluations showed more modest achievement gains for model pieces. High school students demonstrated more positive self-evaluations for their own versus their ensembles' performance and greater overall differentiation in their evaluations across time. Middle school/junior high students were significantly more positive toward the model pieces. All students provided a greater number of free-response comments for model pieces.

Self Evaluation

Abstract My research purpose was to evaluate the contribution of self-evaluation, the locus of control and emotions in generating destructive coping strategies by junior high school students in a social conflict situation. I used the proprietary questionnaire to test adolescents’ coping strategies (KSMK), Self-evaluation Scale (SES) by M. Rosenberg, the Locus of Control Questionnaire (KBPK) by G. Krasowicz and A. Kurzyp-Wojnarska, and the Three-Factor Inventory of Personality States and Traits (TISCO) by C. Spielberger and K. Wrześniewski. Empirical studies were carried out in junior high schools in Wroclaw and the surrounding area. They involved 893 adolescents (468 girls and 425 boys) aged 13‒15. I stated in my research that low self-evaluation of a young man’s abilities, a strong conviction about the impact others have on positive or negative consequences of events and reacting with fear and anger co-exists with destructive adolescent coping strategies.

Finding a suitable career is very essential for one to have the ability to contribute talent and intellect, to make professional advancement, and to stay steadfast in the future. In order to achieve these values, it is necessary for the consultant to have a system of resources, including equipment such as testing, self-evaluation charts, measuring devices for physical strength, visual and auditory system,… One of the most commonly used methods for career counseling today is the quiz templates. By way of illustration, Raven’s continuation frame test, V.P. Zakharov’s communication skills test, John Holland’s personality test, or Carl Jung’s research-based MBTI test, career interest test QIP… However, these inspections are mainly from abroad, with different contexts, occupational frameworks, cultural and economic conditions compared to Vietnam, it is therefore important to take a step towards adapting the toolkit before experimentation on Vietnamese students. This article mentions how to adapt the career interest test – QIP for Junior High school students, thereby offering advice on the use of the test to assist Vietnamese middle schools in career counseling
