Seven rehearsal excerpts demonstrating research-identified teaching characteristics were presented to university music majors ( N = 176) for ratings. Subjects watched either a videotape focused on the teacher or another focused on students. Numerical ratings from 1 to 10 were assigned by subjects to 10 categories of student and teacher behavior: time use, musicianship, accuracy of presentation, student attentiveness, student performance quality, enthusiasm, intensity, pacing, personality, and overall effectiveness. Results demonstrated that subjects gave their highest ratings when viewing the teacher and lowest ratings when viewing students. The highest-rated excerpt contained a hw percentage of student off-task behavior (6.53%), a high percentage of approvals (71%), moderate eye contact (2730%), many activity changes (27), a high percentage of student response time (66%), and rapid pacing, as indicated by an average length of both teacher and student activities of 5-6 seconds.

Seven rehearsal excerpts demonstrating research-identified teaching skills were presented to university music majors ( N = 89) for ratings and comments. The excerpts focused on the conductor/teacher and were selected from previously taped choral rehearsals of two contrasting pieces across one complete semester. Numerical ratings from 1 to 10 were assigned by subjects to 10 categories of student and teacher behavior: time use, musicianship, accuracy of presentation, student attentiveness, student performance quality, enthusiasm, intensity, pacing, personality, and overall effectiveness. Comparisons of the characteristics of the highest-rated excerpt with the highest-rated showed that the highest-rated excerpt contained less off-task student behavior, a higher percentage of approvals, more eye contact, more activity changes, and that the average length of both teacher and student activities was from 5-6 seconds. Subjects' comments revealed that the highest-rated excerpt received the most positive comments and the lowest-rated received the most negative comments. For the highest-rated excerpt, the most positive comments were for student attentiveness, enthusiasm, pacing, and overall teaching effectiveness; and for the lowest-rated, the most negative comments were for student attentiveness, pacing, and overall teaching effectiveness.

Learning materials have been developed in inorganic chemistry elements of transition elements have been developed online. The flow of the development model suggested by Thiagarajan, Semmel, and Semmel is 4-D (four D Models). This model consists of 4 stages of development, namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate, but in this study it is limited to the develop stage. Based on the results of observations of student activities and student response questionnaires, it can be concluded that the material in the Inorganic Chemistry of the Transition Element is feasible.

Systematic direct observation (SDO) is frequently used in schools to document student response to evidence-based interventions, determine eligibility for special education services, and provide objective data during high-stakes decisions. However, there are several limitations associated with this widely used data collection tool including a shortage of service providers available to implement it and the significant travel time required for itinerant personnel. Using videoconferencing (VC) software to aid in the implementation of SDO is an intuitive application of technology that stands to increase the feasibility and efficiency with which SDO can be utilized in research and practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and equivalence of the results generated from two modes of SDO, traditional in-vivo SDO and SDO conducted through VC software. The results suggest that VC SDO produces estimates of student on-task behavior that are practically equivalent (i.e., ±3%) to estimates generated through traditional SDO. Furthermore, two frequently used reliability indices indicate that VC SDO results are adequately reliable against traditional in-vivo SDO. Implications for school-based practice are discussed.

The purpose of this investigation was to identify and describe the characteristics of effective teaching in the piano studio. Thirteen piano teachers were videotaped with one adult student and one child student during three consecutive lessons each. An 8- to 12-minute segment showing work on a piece in progress was excerpted from each of the 78 lessons. Computerized observation procedures, designed specifically for this and related research, were used to record and analyze teacher behavior, student behavior, and lesson progress. Ten representative excerpts were evaluated by five expert piano pedagogues, who rated the teaching effectiveness observed in each. The expert pedagogues were generally reliable in identifying ineffective teaching, but were less reliable in assessing effective teaching. Correlational analyses were used to identify the lesson characteristics associated with effective and ineffective ratings. Relatively active teachers were ranked higher than were inactive teachers. Active teachers provided more modeling and gave more feedback. Student performance episodes generally were shorter among the more active teachers, and students of the more active teachers tended to perform mare successfully. The duration and pace of behavior episodes were important variables in discriminating among levels of instructional quality, with shorter episodes and, thus, faster pace associated with more effective teaching.

The present study was designed to assess novice teachers* perceptions of timing in music instruction and to identify the aspects of timing that are associated with positive perceptions of instructional pacing. We selected eight 1-3-minute excerpts from teaching-practicum videotapes of four novice teachers teaching in a choral rehearsal, a band rehearsal, and two elementary music classrooms. Each teacher appeared in two excerpts that differed with regard to the pace of instruction depicted in each. Novice teachers (N = 44) viewed the videotaped excerpts and evaluated the pace of instruction along six semantic differential scales: fast—slow; appropriate—inappropriate; tense—relaxed; smooth-uneven; too fast-too slow; good-bad. Subjects discriminated among the faster and slower examples on five of the six evaluation dimensions, and among teachers on all six dimensions. Subjects rated the pace of instruction more positively when the rates of student performance episodes and teacher activity episodes were higher rather than lower, and when the mean durations of teacher and student activity were shorter rather than longer. These variables may function as operational measures of the pace of instruction in music performance.

This study aims to determine; (1) teacher activities after applying the open ended problems learning model in class XI TBSM SMKN 1 Kurun, (2) student activities after applying the open ended problems learning model in class XI TBSM SMKN 1 Kurun, (3) student responses after applying the open ended problems learning model on the double clutch system lesson, and (4) learning outcomes of class XI TBSM SMKN 1 Kurun, after following the open ended problems learning model on the double clutch system lesson. This research is descriptive quantitative, this research took the subject of class students XI TBSM SMKN 1 Kurun chosen as the subject of research. The instrument used is a test of cognitive learning outcomes, student activity sheet, teacher activity sheet, and student response questionnaires. As well as student learning outcomes related to cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. The results of data analysis showed that overall student activity was carried out well. The completeness of the classically tested cognitive learning outcomes of students in 13 people (92,85%) and 1 student has not yet finished (2,94%), so classically the results of student learning using open ended problems models are said to be successful
