The aim of this work has been to detect the differences and similarities from the point of view of Music Education among the Programas Renovados (Renewed Programs), the last document published in Spain before the emergence of the curriculum concept and how we conceive it today, and the Real Decree 1006/1991, that established the curricula for Primary School. For this, a comparative analysis of the aforementioned texts has been carried out through a documentary analysis that has allowed to contrast the legal framework, the character, the curricular functions, the configuration of the music area, structure, elements, musical areas, as well as the degree of concretion of both documents. The results reveal a high degree of difference between the Renewed Programs and Royal Decree 1006/1991 regarding the curricular functions, because the former served as a guide for the teaching staff, while the latter, in addition to the previous function, made explicit the intentions of the educational system for the stage. Likewise, a high degree of difference between the structure of the Musical Education elements of both documents has been verified. However, it has been observed a common presence of contents related to different areas of Music Education (singing, instrumentation, listening, movement and dance...), as well as a dual approach that includes the perceptual dimension and expressive of them.

The article deals with analysis of experiences of music school students through focusing on the threat of involvement and discrimination (in the context of the problem of political and practical dualism) by employing the conception of universal education design. Analysis of the research data revealed students’ primary experiences in music school, identification of teacher’s behavior in the process of teaching and learning which significantly contributed to (non-)involvement and (non-)limitation of students as well as manifestation of formal assessment in the education process. Summing up, an assumption is drawn that non-formal music education of children is still incapable of full-fledged involvement of children and prevention from discrimination while meeting their individual needs; however, it aims at higher integration of children into the system, i.e. not to adjust the system to the learners but rather to adapt the learners to the system.

Resumo: A busca por formas de ensino aprendizagem em música, apontam a cada dia para modelos distantes do modelo conservatorial (PENNA; SOBREIRA,2020). Dentre as novas abordagens propostas, destaca-se o autogerenciamento cognitivo, atitude relacionadas a autorregulação da aprendizagem. Esta revisão de literatura, realizada no período de julho de 2018 a julho de 2019, teve como objetivo buscar na literatura disponível, pesquisas que identificam comportamentos de Autorregulação da Aprendizagem em alunos de música no Ensino Básico e Superior. Foram analisados trabalhos nos últimos 10 anos voltados para o ensino da música e estratégias de autorregulação da aprendizagem. Os resultados encontrados apontam os comportamentos autorregulados dos alunos e demonstram que aprendizes autorregulados tendem a desenvolver melhor suas atividades de aquisição do conhecimento e aqueles que não tem esse perfil, podem desenvolvê-lo a partir da adoção de práticas de ensino propostas pelo professor que estimulem atitudes e estratégias autorregulatórias.Palavras-chave: Autorregulação; ensino; aprendizagem; Educação musical.Abstract: The search for ways of teaching and learning in music point each day to models that are far from the conservative model (PENNA; SOBREIRA, 2020). Among the new approaches proposed, cognitive self-management stands out, an attitude related to self-regulation of learning. This literature review, carried out from July 2018 to July 2019, aimed to search the available literature for research that identify Self-Regulation Learning behaviors in music students in Basic and Higher Education. Works in the last 10 years focused on music teaching and self-regulation learning strategies were analyzed. The results found indicate the self-regulated behaviors of students and demonstrate that self-regulated learners tend to better develop their knowledge acquisition activities and those who do not have this profile can develop it based on the adoption of teaching practices proposed by the teacher that encourage attitudes and self-regulatory strategies.Keywords: Self-regulation; teaching; learning; musical education.

This study aims to determine the extent to which the teaching staff in the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department applies a style of speech; i.e. either oratory, deliberative, consultative, relaxed, or intimate. The data collection is done by questionnaire and class observation. The population of this study consists of teaching staff at the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department. The data is more qualitative, which is more in the form of a description of the characteristics of the respondents and not much related to the numbers. Sampling technique is done by population, namely all teaching staff of Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department. Data analysis is carried out by a Likert Scale of 5. The results indicate that Consultative Speech is the style most widely applied by the Teaching Staff of the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department, while the oratoric speaking style is the least practiced style. Extemporan presentation method is the most widely applied method in the activities of the Teaching and Learning Process in the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department, while the impromptu method is the least applied method. The most widely used body language is a smile, while eye flicker is the least applied body language. The distance between the Teaching Staff and Students in the Teaching and Learning Process activities that are most widely applied are groups (125-350 cm), while the least applied distance is intimate (50 cm). The results of this study support the previous research that the use of Body Language greatly affects the success of the Teaching and Learning process.

This chapter presents two of the most prominent approaches to the design of descriptive research in music education. Simply creating depictions of music teaching and learning experiences that are organized and illustrative of the variation that can exist in any given setting is a worthwhile scientific endeavor in and of itself. Descriptive research is most typically an exploration of what is, what exists, and/or the status of any given topic of interest. The first section deals with basic steps in observational research designs, and the second section outlines critical features of survey designs. These fundamental research design options are excellent entry points for emerging scholars and when employed imaginatively can yield many benefits for the profession.

In this chapter, pros and cons of assessing young children’s music skills and content knowledge are explored. An integrative literature review is included as well as a thematic review lending support to core themes. Several reasons were identified as to the importance of promoting student assessment as children participate in early childhood music. Use of music assessments in the classroom and for research should consider practices consistent with musical age as well as chronological age. Increased recognition of the importance of music in total development of the child supports need for effective early childhood assessment systems especially by the music education research community as they continue to gather evidence regarding the utilitarian value of music in early childhood. Researchers need to be aware of environmental factors that may impact early music learning and cognizant of current best practices in music education for early childhood. Researcher-developed criterion measures often are not investigated for quality characteristics, and thus rigorous guidelines for such criterion measures are needed. It appears there are no definitive policy or ethics statements regarding early childhood music assessment but both should be considered vital priorities for the profession. Most likely only those scholars with profound interest in assessment and teachers with deep understanding of the role of assessment in teaching and learning will volunteer to respond. Everything developed in such a national network will be useful, providing we start with clearly defined, intended outcomes and then develop assessments to document student attainment of those musical outcomes.

Authors of contemporary education and arts education policies tend to emphasize the adoption of formal, summative assessment practices. Poststructuralist philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s emphasis on ongoing differing and imaginative possibilities may at first glance appear incompatible with these overarching, codified assessments. While Deleuze criticizes the increasing use of ongoing assessments as a form of control, he posits a more nuanced explanation of measurement. This philosophical inquiry examines four measurement-related themes from Deleuze’s writings and explores how they might inform concepts and practices of assessment in various music teaching and learning contexts. The first theme suggests that each group of connective relations, what Deleuze terms a “plane of immanence,” demands its own forms of measurement. Second, Deleuze emphasizes varieties of measurement. Third, those with power, what Deleuze terms the “majority,” always set the standard for measurement. Fourth, Deleuze derides continuous assessment. His writings suggest that music educators might consider that assessments created for one musical practice or style should not transcend their own “plane of immanence,” that a variety of nonstandardized assessments is desirable, that the effect of measurement on “minoritarian” musical practices must be examined carefully, and that it is essential to ponder the potentials of unmeasured music making.

This chapter asks an important, yet seemingly illusive, question: In what ways does the internet provide (or not) activist—or, for present purposes “artivist”—opportunities and engagements for musicing, music sharing, and music teaching and learning? According to Asante (2008), an “artivist (artist + activist) uses her artistic talents to fight and struggle against injustice and oppression—by any medium necessary. The artivist merges commitment to freedom and justice with the pen, the lens, the brush, the voice, the body, and the imagination. The artivist knows that to make an observation is to have an obligation” (p. 6). Given this view, can (and should) social media be a means to achieve artivism through online musicing and music sharing, and, therefore, music teaching and learning? Taking a feminist perspective, this chapter interrogates the nature of cyber musical artivism as a potential means to a necessary end: positive transformation. In what ways can social media be a conduit (or hindrance) for cyber musical artivism? What might musicing and music sharing gain (or lose) from engaging with online artivist practices? In addition to a philosophical investigation, this chapter will examine select case studies of online artivist music making and music sharing communities with the above concerns in mind, specifically as they relate to music education.

Abstract Background Our transition to an “information society” means that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become integral to our lives. ICT has also become an essential aspect of medical institutions and healthcare settings. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses are required to use ICT in their daily work. In Lebanon, however, due to political factors, many universities have not introduced technology or any form of ICT in their curricula. Institutions of higher education do use technology in various ways, however, successful incorporation of ICT in education requires acceptance by instructors who are expected to use ICT in teaching practices. Although international findings reveal that ICT should be used in nursing education, some faculty members experience difficulty integrating it. Method A mixed methodological research approach was used to investigate the attitudes of nursing teaching staff toward the use of ICT in nursing education. Results Our findings revealed three categories of faculty with differing attitudes to the use of ICT in teaching and learning: pioneers, faculty members who have developed positive attitudes toward ICT usage; followers, faculty members with neutral attitudes; and resisters, faculty members with negative attitudes. Conclusions Identification of the nursing faculty members’ attitude toward ICT and the challenges faced by them contributes to the integration of ICT into nursing curricula and further development of educational practices.

This case study explored the potential for using a synchronous online piano teaching internship as a service-learning project for graduate pedagogy interns. In partnership with the university, a local music retailer, and a local middle school, three pedagogy interns taught beginning piano to underprivileged teenaged students for 8 weeks. All instruction took place in the synchronous online environment using acoustic Disklavier pianos, Internet MIDI, Facetime, and traditional method books. As a result of the experience, the students demonstrated musical understanding and the pedagogy interns developed teaching techniques, displayed improved comprehension of course content, learned about current distance teaching technology, and considered the role of music education in society. Based on these results, it might be feasible to provide piano lessons to underserved populations in remote locations while offering meaningful internship experiences to pedagogy students through distance service-learning projects.
