The Impact

Integration of Ukraine into the European educational space necessitates solution of a number of complex problems, including modification of music-pedagogical education, taking into account historical experience of training music teachers in other countries. Taking into account the fact that educational traditions of Ukraine and Poland are very similar, a constructive study of the evolution of music teacher training in the system of pedagogical education of the Second Commonwealth of Poland seem to be timely. The article is aimed at revealing peculiarities of the evolution of music teachers’ training in Poland in the process of development of pedagogical education. In order to achieve this goal, a number of research methods have been used, in particular: analytical (comparative-terminological, historical-pedagogical (historical-genetic, retrospective), comparative-diachronic), structural-typological and empirical (conversations, discussions and e-mailing). The characteristics of the evolution of music teacher training in Poland as a historical reality is carried out in the form of historical-genetic analysis of a set of facts substantiating the theoretical ideas on such development, logical reconstruction of historical-scientific processes, identification of national specificity and All-European development tendencies, which allows us to predict the ways of modernization of music-pedagogical education in Ukraine. It has been proved that, throughout its historical development, despite constant socio-political influences of other states (Austrian, Prussian and Russian empires, later – USSR), Poland has tried to preserve national traditions of teachers’ training, which was primarily reflected in the developed structure, the variety of types of centres of pedagogical education, the search for its optimal models. It has been found out that under modern conditions, bifurcation processes in the systems of higher pedagogical and secondary school education lead to the weakening of the bonds between them. The impact of secondary school reforms on modification of pedagogical education, which is being brutally macadamized, is being greatly decreasing. At the beginning of the XXI century, an external (supranational) attractor – the Bologna Process – started influencing dramatically the development of the higher education system in Poland, in particular pedagogical which aims at ensuring the conformity of the structure and quality of Polish education with the European standards and European dimension of higher education. The results of the study include, in particular, identification of terminological differences in the works of certain Polish and Ukrainian scholars regarding the training of Music teachers; concretization of the heuristic potential of the laws of dialectics and synergetic approach concerning contradictory development of music training of teaches and pedagogical training of Music teachers in the context of historically conditioned changes within the structure of pedagogical education and cultural-musical needs of society.

The Impact

The impact of teacher dispositions on the professional development of preservice music teachers (PMTs) has been substantiated. This chapter describes an approach to dispositional development within the structure of an introduction to music education course. A teacher concerns model is used to organize this systematic approach through three developmental stages that include self-concerns, teaching task concerns, and student learning concerns. A series of 11 critical questions are presented for use in guiding PMTs’ dispositional development through these developmental stages. Activities to engage PMTs in the exploration of each of these questions are detailed for use by music teacher educators desiring to engage PMTs in dispositional development.

The Impact

For a long time, the French education system has been characterized by strong institutional disconnection between secondary education (enseignement secondaire) and higher education (enseignement supérieur). This situation has nevertheless started to change over the last 20 years as the “need-to-adapt” argument has been widely used to push for three sets of interrelated reforms with the official aim of improving student flows to, and readiness for, higher education (HE). The first reforms relate to the end-of-upper-secondary-school baccalauréat qualification and were carried out in two waves. The second set of reforms concerns educational guidance for transition from upper secondary school to HE, including widening participation policies targeting socially disadvantaged youths. Finally, the third set has established a national digital platform, launched in 2009, to manage and regulate HE applications and admissions. These reforms with strong neoliberal leanings have nevertheless been implemented within a system that remains profoundly conservative. Changes to the baccalauréat, to educational guidance, and to the HE admissions system have made only minor alterations to the conservative system of hierarchical tracks, both at the level of the lycée (upper secondary school) and in HE, thus strongly weakening their potential effects. Moreover, the reforms themselves combine neoliberal discourse and decisions with other perspectives and approaches aiming to preserve and even reinforce this conservative structure. This discrepancy is evident in the conflicting aims ascribed both to guidance and to the new online application and admissions platform, expected, on the one hand, to raise students’ ambitions and give them greater latitude to satisfy their wishes but also, on the other hand, to help them make “rational” choices in light of both their educational abilities and trajectories and their existing HE provision and job prospects. This mixed ideological and structural landscape is also the result of a significant gap in France between policy intentions and implementation at a local level, especially in schools. Several factors are responsible for this discrepancy: the fact that in order to ward off criticism and protest, reforms are often couched in very abstract terms open to multiple interpretations; the length and complexity of the reform circuit in a centralized educational system; the lack of administrative means through which to oversee implementation; teachers’ capacity to resist reform, both individually and collectively. This half-conservative, half-liberal educational regime is likely to increase inequalities across social and ethnoracial lines for two main reasons. The first is that the potential benefits of “universal” neoliberal policies promising greater choice and opportunity for all—and even of policies directly targeting working-class and ethnic minority students, such as widening participation schemes—are frequently only reaped by students in academic tracks, with a good school record, who are mostly upper- or middle-class and White. The second is that, under the traditional conservative regime, in addition to being the victims of these students’ advantages and strategies, working-class students also continue to be channeled and chartered toward educational tracks and then jobs located at the bottom of the educational and social hierarchy.

The Impact

This chapter discusses the politics of music teacher education in relation to the major policies that transnational institutions are promoting virtually all over the world, in relation to national curricula reforms and in relation to the programs developed by higher education institutions. The first section copes with the impact of international organizations on the reforms of national curricula based on an economic rationale and on the shaping of a new role for music and arts education in schools. The second section discusses to what extent higher education institutions in charge of teacher education are assuming these curricular changes. The final section contends that music teacher education programs should consider three major issues to foster social justice: (1) the quality of programs from an educational perspective; (2) the demise of music education as part of compulsory education; and (3) the acknowledgment of politics in music education and music teacher education.

While most of the students who graduate each year from the Royal College of Music (RCM) in London build performance-based portfolio careers that include some teaching, very few of them enter secondary school class music teaching. This article describes how young musicians' concerns about the career of secondary class music teacher develop as they move from sixth former to first year RCM undergraduate to third year undergraduate, and proposes some ways in which these concerns may be addressed. RCM students often agree strongly with statements consistent with a positive attitude to teaching, such as feeling a sense of achievement when pupils learn, and considering that teaching is about helping pupils realise their musical potential. However, they also tend to think that secondary class music teaching is not ‘doing music’. Successful secondary music teachers may take a different view, and the effect on RCM students of working with such teachers is reported descriptively.

The development of harmonic hearing is an essential component of the system of music teachers’ training. The paper is concerned with the type of a case study which deals with the study of professional groups (a bigger and more diffusive group of 14 students). The process of training music teachers at sol-fa classes in a higher education establishment is analyzed and described. The sol-fa classes are oriented towards the development of harmonic hearing. The purpose of the study is to develop a technology of conducting sol-fa classes oriented towards developing students’ – the prospective music teachers’ – harmonic hearing on the basis of a case-study methodology; to present the developed material and ways of its application in the training process; to analyze and summarize the results of the research done. The research results show that the criteria relating to practical music making of students, such as polyphonic singing and intoning intervals and chords, and also those relating to creativeness, such as improvisation and composing the accompaniment for the melody, have been the most effective ones.

The Impact

The profile of an effective instrumental and vocal music teacher includes many personal and professional dimensions. Among them, teacher self-efficacy plays a key role and influences the evaluation of music teachers’ effectiveness. Recent studies have identified several factors that affect one’s self-assessment of efficacy. However, a comprehensive model of the predictors of music teachers’ self-efficacy still does not exist. The aim of the current study was to identify factors that affect music teacher self-efficacy using a quantitative approach. Three self-report questionnaires were administered to 160 instrumental and vocal music teachers in Italy. Data about their beliefs on musical ability, teacher self-efficacy, and social skills were collected to define a predictive model of teachers’ self-efficacy using a stepwise regression analysis. In addition, an ANOVA was performed to examine group differences in music teacher self-efficacy and intercorrelations among questionnaire scales were computed. The findings have shown that a general score of music teacher self-efficacy can be predicted by a multidimensional model, including music teachers’ personal and professional traits, such as social skills, beliefs about musical ability, teaching experience, and gender. Moreover, differences in specific aspects of teacher self-efficacy emerged in relation to participants’ gender and level of expertise. The impact of these results on music teachers’ education is discussed.

In the last few years expressions like European convergence, European Higher Education Area, European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System and others have become more and more usual not only in academic circles but also even in the mass media. But to what extent are these expressions valid for all knowledge areas in all EU countries? After analysing the curricula for Music Teaching Training in Spain (through the lens of J. Butler and J. Derrida) I will show the situation of precarity of this knowledge area under a postmodern perspective and how the expressions above have become non-neutral expressions sous rature that manage to preserve the rights of the already consolidated knowledge areas to the detriment of the non-consolidated ones.
