‚Verständige Musikpraxis’ als Gegenstand von Musikunterricht zwischen Leiblichkeit und diskursivem Lernen

This article deals with a pedagogical concept called "Verständige Musikpraxis". It wants to elicit whether and if how its effects might be empirically relevant. Starting point is an analysis of a suite of 4 videotaped music lessons with an emphasis on singing in the classroom in primary schools. The taped lessons show a similarity in structure: a phase of practising is mostly followed by a phase of practical learning and reflection, which in turn is interrupting the process. In the phenomenological theory of learning this moment of irritation is a hallmark of the learning process per se. (DIPF/Orig.)

„Am Liebsten wollte ich nur noch zuhören, das konnte ich nicht, weil: ich musste singen.“ Eine Untersuchung zum Erleben von Kindern bei ihrer Teilnahme an einem Chorkonzert

How do children experience participating in a choral performance? What matters most to them? How do they remember and talk about the event? The interview-based study demonstrates that children retain complex memories of such an event and can report on the experience in a differentiated manner, including their self-perception while singing, their social experience, and the various emotions associated with it. They evaluate the songs that were sung, and imbue the venue with meaning. Active participation in a choral performance enables children to share and reflect on music, providing them with a lasting, positively connoted memory of a musical experience. (DIPF/Orig.)

REDUCING TEACHER ATTRITION: THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BUILDING PRINCIPALS IN A LARGE URBAN DISTRICT TO SUPPORT TEACHER RETENTION

The high rate of teacher attrition in urban schools is well documented. While this does not seem like a problem in Carter County, this equates to hundreds of teachers that need to be replaced annually. Since school year (SY) 2007-08, Carter County has lost over 7,100 teachers, approximately half of (50.1%) of whom resigned, often going to neighboring, higher-paying jurisdictions as suggested by exit survey data (SY2016-2020 Strategic Plan). Included in this study is a range of practices principals use to retain teachers. While the role of the principal is recognized as a critical element in teacher retention, few studies explore the specific practices principals implement to retain teachers and how they use their time to accomplish this task. Through interviews, observations, document analysis and reflective notes, the study identifies the practices four elementary school principals of high and relatively low attrition schools use to support teacher retention. In doing so, the study uses a qualitative cross-case analysis approach. The researcher examined the following leadership practices of the principal and their impact on teacher retention: (a) providing leadership, (b) supporting new teachers, (c) training and mentoring teaching staff, (d) creating opportunities for collaboration, (d) creating a positive school climate, and (e) promoting teacher autonomy. The following research questions served as a foundational guide for the development and implementation of this study: 1. How do principals prioritize addressing teacher attrition or retention relative to all of their other responsibilities? How do they allocate their time to this challenge? 2. What do principals in schools with low attrition rates do to promote retention that principals in high attrition schools do not? What specific practices or interventions are principals in these two types of schools utilizing to retain teachers? Is there evidence to support their use of the practices? The findings that emerge from the data revealed the various practices principals use to influence and support teachers do not differ between the four schools.

School Development in Urbanizing Areas

Good schools are essential for building thriving urban areas. They are important for preparing the future human resource and directly contribute to social and economic development of a place. They not only act as magnets for prospective residents, but also are necessary for retaining current population. As public infrastructure, schools mirror their neighborhood. “Their location, design and physical condition are important determinants of neighborhood quality, regional growth and change, and quality of life.”2 They impact housing development and utility requirements among many things. Hence, planning for schools along with other infrastructure in an area is essential. Schools are very challenging to plan, especially in urbanizing areas with changing demographic dynamics, where the development market and housing development can shift drastically a number of times. In such places projecting the future school enrollments is very difficult and in case of large population influx, school development can be unable to catch up with population growth which results in overcrowding. Typical is the case of Arlington County VA. In the past two decades the County has changed dramatically from a collection of bedroom communities in Washington DC Metro Region to a thriving urban area. Its metro accessible urban corridors are among most desired locations for development in the region. However, converting single family neighborhoods into high density areas has put a lot of pressure on its school facilities and has resulted in overcrowded schools. Its public school enrollment has grown by 19% from 2009 to 2014.3 While the percentage of population under 5 years age has increased in last 10 years, those in the 5-19 age group have decreased4. Hence, there is more pressure on the elementary school facilities than others in the County. Design-wise, elementary schools, due to their size, can be imagined as a community component. There are a number of strategies that can be used to develop elementary school in urbanizing areas as a part of the neighborhood. Experimenting with space planning and building on partnership and mixed-use opportunities can help produce better designs for new schools in future. This thesis is an attempt to develop elementary school models for urbanizing areas of Arlington County. The school models will be designed keeping in mind the shifting nature of population and resulting student enrollments in these areas. They will also aim to be efficient and sustainable, and lead to the next generation design for elementary school education. The overall purpose of the project is to address barriers to elementary school development in urbanizing areas through creative design and planning strategies. To test above mentioned ideas, the Joint-Use School typology of housing +school design has been identified for elementary school development in urbanizing areas in this thesis project. The development is based on the Arlington Public School’s Program guidelines (catering to 600 students). The site selected for this project is Clarendon West (part of Red Top Cab Properties) in Clarendon, Arlington County VA.

Quel mode de gestion politique en éducation? Le cas de l’enseignement des langues étrangères au primaire dans le Bade-Wurtemberg (1998-2011)

Dans le Bade-Wurtemberg, land du sud-ouest de l’Allemagne limitrophe à la France, on enseigne une langue étrangère dans toutes les écoles primaires dès la 1re année depuis l’année scolaire 2003-2004. Certaines communes composant un corridor d’une trentaine de kilomètres de large longeant la frontière française se sont vu imposer le français, et non l’anglais comme ailleurs dans le land. Pour cette raison, le règlement a été dénoncé par des opposants lorsqu’il fut rendu public en 2001. La recherche a pour objectif dans une première étape de reconstituer, à l’aide de protocoles parlementaires du land, de publications ministérielles et de jugements de la Cour administrative, les événements entourant l’élaboration, l’implantation et la réception de cette politique éducative entre 1998 et 2011. La question qui nous intéresse dans une deuxième étape se rapporte aux causes des tensions entre le ministère de l’Éducation et les citoyens. La recherche mettra en évidence le fait que les citoyens n’étaient pas seulement contre l’enseignement du français plutôt que de l’anglais, mais aussi contre l’imposition de l’objet d’enseignement. Pour ce faire, un corpus d’articles de journaux dressera le portrait des opinions saillantes de la population, et les positions du débat pourront être systématisées. Une troisième étape proposera une analyse à l’aide de théories de l’évolution des modes de gouvernance en politique de l’éducation et proposera de nouvelles pistes de réflexion.

Factors Influencing the Implementation of Substance Use Prevention Programs in Elementary Schools

Prevention scientists have called for more research on the factors affecting the implementation of substance use prevention programs. Given the lack of literature in this area, coupled with evidence that children as early as elementary school engage in substance use, the purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence the implementation of substance use prevention programs in elementary schools. This study involved a mixed methods approach comprised of a survey and in-person interviews. Sixty-five guidance counselors and teachers completed the survey, and 9 guidance counselors who completed the survey were interviewed individually. Correlation analyses and hierarchical multiple regression were conducted. Quantitative findings revealed ease of implementation most frequently influenced program implementation, followed by beliefs about the program’s effectiveness. Qualitative findings showed curriculum modification as an important theme, as well as difficulty of program implementation. The in-person interviews also shed light on three interrelated themes influencing program implementation – The Wheel, time, and scheduling. Results indicate the majority of program providers modified the curriculum in some way. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed, and areas for future research are suggested.
