Didáctica de la Expresión Musical. Una revisión del desarrollo del currículo

[spa] Con el fin de elaborar un estudio sobre la interrelación -o falta de ella- entre práctica educativa e investigación en educación musical, presentamos aquí un estudio de las distintas etapas por las que ha pasado el desarrollo del currículo en educación musical. Además tomamos partido y abogamos por un desarrollo del currículo que tenga en cuenta el contexto educativo-musical, basado en datos provenientes de la investigación educativa, y que preste atención fundamentalmente al plano artístico y estético. Hacemos una apuesta de futuro por un currículo crítico, haciendo por tanto un giro copernicano desde el tradicional interés por el contenido musical hasta la contribución de la música a los objetivos educativos del sistema escolar.

L'ensenyament musical: presentació (monografia)

Quan es parla d'estudiar música, sovint ens ve al cap la paraula conservatori; hi estem tan acostumats que ni ens adonem del caracter conservador que anomenem al principal centre on s'estudia la nostra materia. En aquest context, vèncer aquest immobilisme i infondre un esperit més actual en l'ensenyament de la música, no ha estat gens fàcil, ja que les institucions sempre han procurat evitar ficar-se en terrenys incerts. Sia per desconeixement, sia per falta d'infraestructures adequades, de suficients medis o de personal qualificat, hem hagut d'esperar a l'aplicació de la LOGSE per assistir a una veritable normalització de la música en l'ensenyament obligatori, a la vegada que s'aconseguia actualitzar els ensenyaments artisticomusicals impartits en els «conservatoris» esmentats.

Entornos e-learning como soporte de aprendizaje a la asignatura educación musical en infancia

The music is a compulsory subject in the first stage of primary education. We detected several teachers from different educational areas, including the area of music, using e-learning platforms and web tools for teaching the curriculum that marks the “Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya”. From the body of analysis has drawn the picture in e-learning platforms, analyzing the types and uses. Through the sample of e-learning platforms in music education, have identified four schools with e-learning platforms in advanced stage. We performed a case study on one of these platforms for content analysis and validate the interview format used; this has served to create a model that can be used in other centers with e-learning platform for music subject.

Social class as a factor for the construction of a musician’s identity : The Musician’s social background and identity questionnaire (MSBIQ) – a cross-sectional comparative quantitative online survey research study of music students at two higher education institutions in Finland

There is currently little empirical knowledge regarding the construction of a musician’s identity and social class. With a theoretical framework based on Bourdieu’s (1984) distinction theory, Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) theory of ecological systems, and the identity theories of Erikson (1950; 1968) and Marcia (1966), a survey called the Musician’s Social Background and Identity Questionnaire (MSBIQ) is developed to test three research hypotheses related to the construction of a musician’s identity, social class and ecological systems of development. The MSBIQ is administered to the music students at Sibelius Academy of the University of Arts Helsinki and Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, representing the ’highbrow’ and the ’middlebrow’ samples in the field of music education in Finland. Acquired responses (N = 253) are analyzed and compared with quantitative methods including Pearson’s chi-square test, factor analysis and an adjusted analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study revealed that (1) the music students at Sibelius Academy and Metropolia construct their subjective musician’s identity differently, but (2) social class does not affect this identity construction process significantly. In turn, (3) the ecological systems of development, especially the individual’s residential location, do significantly affect the construction of a musician’s identity, as well as the age at which one starts to play one’s first musical instrument. Furthermore, a novel finding related to the structure of a musician’s identity was the tripartite model of musical identity consisting of the three dimensions of a musician’s identity: (I) ’the subjective dimension of a musician’s identity’, (II) ’the occupational dimension of a musician’s identity’ and, (III) ’the conservative-liberal dimension of a musician’s identity’. According to this finding, a musician’s identity is not a uniform, coherent entity, but a structure consisting of different elements continuously working in parallel within different dimensions. The results and limitations related to the study are discussed, as well as the objectives related to future studies using the MSBIQ to research the identity construction and social backgrounds of a musician or other performing artists.

Exploring two cases of Piano Teacher Education in Finland and Germany

Research about music instrument teacher education is scattered and fairly recent, especially in the European context. The purpose of this study was to explore two cases of piano teacher education programs at higher music education institutions, one in Finland, and one in Germany, to gain insights into the preparation of piano teachers for their professional working life. The aim was to identify issues for consideration in curriculum development of piano teacher education to enhance the teaching and learning of piano playing, and to ultimately increase musical practice and engagement among young learners. Nine semi-structured interviews with piano teacher educators, heads of program, other lecturers within the program, and student piano teachers in both cases were analyzed using applied thematic analysis. Three main themes with subcategories emerged: (1) the organization of the piano teacher education program, such as the structure, the content, the learning environments provided, and the development mechanisms of the program; (2) the views on the piano teacher profession, the working environment and resulting requirements, including further education during professional life; and (3) the professional skills and teacher identity development of student teachers. While the supposed working environments and requirements of future piano teachers, the student teachers' development characteristics, and the content were found reasonably concurrent in both cases, the structure of the teacher education program, and the organization of learning environments presented notable differences. While the complete teacher qualification in the Finnish case was offered as option in the Bachelor and Master of Music program within the piano department, the German case offered a separate program for music instrument educators. Other main differences concerned the organizations of practical teaching experiences, and the linking of practical with theoretical pedagogy. Conviction and enthusiasm for improving piano and other music instrument teacher education seemed remarkable. These improvements could include the development of a comprehensive teacher education pedagogy for music instrument teacher educators, intensified cross-linking within and of higher music education institutions in local contexts, and the expansion of professional development opportunities.

Educación musical: Investigamos, luego avanzamos

Este texto hace referencia al importante avance experimentado en el campo de la investigación en educación musical en estos últimos años, avance que nos ha proporcionado importantes transformaciones en la manera de organizar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la música. Se insta sobre la necesidad de apoyar a los profesionales de la música que tengan interés por adquirir capacidad investigadora, así como de potenciar el trabajo conjunto entre el profesorado perteneciente a las enseñanzas especializadas de música y a las enseñanzas de música universitarias. Todo ello contribuirá a un mejor y más profundo conocimiento de nuestras áreas de estudio y al crecimiento y fortalecimiento de las mismas.

La Educación musical del niño con necesidades especiales

El "método" es la actividad en sí misma: "aprender haciendo", convertir la actividad musical en la protagonista de la acción de tal manera que el alumno tiene que hacer, o intentar hacer, todo lo que pueda hacer con la música. Se presenta con dos finalidades claramente manifiestas: - Musical. Potenciar la escucha, la audición, y adquirir determinadas destrezas vocales, corporales, o instrumentales. - "No musical". La actividad musical es el medio, con un fin ajeno a sí misma, para conseguir objetivos relacionados con la discapacidad, y con la intención de desarrollar destrezas comunicativas o sociales, motrices, de atención, etc

Estilos de aprendizaje e inteligencia emocional. Una nueva perspectiva en la docencia universitaria desde la didáctica de la expresión musical

La Universidad europea vive actualmente un momento de fuertes cambios debido a la implantación de nuevos planes de estudios basados en el sistema ECTS; cambios que afectan tanto a estudiantes como a docentes: adaptación de nuevas metodologías que inciden profundamente en los procesos de aprendizaje, estando ambos sujetos a estudios e investigaciones por la propia Universidad. En este contexto de transformaciones surgen los siguientes interrogantes: ¿Está preparado el profesorado para desarrollar la inteligencia emocional en sus alumnos a través de actividades específicas musicales?, ¿Son conscientes los docentes de la importancia que tiene el conocer los estilos de aprendizaje, tanto del grupo clase como del suyo propio?, ¿Cuál es el protagonismo que realmente se le concede a las emociones en el ámbito educativo general?, ¿Cuál es el nexo de unión entre inteligencia emocional y estilos de aprendizaje para la formación del alumnado universitario en el área de la didáctica de la música?

A aula de educação musical : pedagogias diferentes conduzem a diferentes resultados na aprendizagem?

Sendo professor de Educação Musical no ensino básico, decidi realizar o presente trabalho com o objetivo de averiguar se, para o universo de alunos indicado, é mais vantajoso trabalhar a partir das propostas pedagógicas de Edwin Gordon, que se baseiam no conceito de audiação como forma de levar o aluno a compreender a música (audiação é a capacidade de ouvirmos e compreendermos sons que podem estar, ou não, fisicamente presentes), ou nos ensinamentos de Jos Wuytack, que defende a utilização de técnicas de imitação nas fases iniciais de ensino da música a jovens. Tendo esta investigação sido realizada ao longo de um semestre letivo, não seria adequado nem possível aplicar extensivamente todas as propostas dos pedagogos referidos. Como tal, os trabalhos aqui apresentados foram limitados aos conceitos que considerei mais adequados para o tempo e para os objetivos definidos para o nível de ensino aqui em estudo. Foram trabalhadas as audiações números um, dois e quatro, por um lado, e, por outro, as técnicas de imitação melódica e rítmica. Foi feita uma avaliação contínua da evolução de cada aluno, como forma de estabelecer um padrão de desenvolvimento que permitisse concluir qual das duas metodologias de ensino da música a jovens se revelou mais adequada na globalidade e qual a que produziu melhores resultados no que diz respeito à melhoria da afinação vocal, do conhecimento das notas musicais, do rigor rítmico e da dedilhação na flauta de bisel. Os resultados obtidos não nos permitiram retirar nenhuma conclusão definitiva.

Primary music education: the misrepresentation of the ideals of curricula in research

The author starts from a historical viewpoint to suggest that, at primary level, we have tended to perpetuate a nineteenth-century notion of music education. This is evident in the selection and organisation of musical content in curriculum documents, the scope of the teacher-pupil transaction implicit in these and the assumptions about music education which underpin research on practice conducted at official policy level. In light of the introduction of the 1999 Revised Primary School Curriculum, with its change in emphasis, she notes that it is timely to reconsider the situation. Central to this is the need to challenge the notion of music as a set of delineated skills, to explore the relationship between the primary teacher and music, and to move towards a notion of research which acknowledges the richness of multiple interpretations teachers bring to the curriculum.

Beyond a constructivist curriculum : a critique of competing paradigms in music education

The distinction between learning to perform on an instrument or voice and learning music in a wider sense is one that is made in many countries, and is especially pertinent in England in the context of recent policy developments. This article argues that, whilst this distinction has come to represent curricula based on the opposing paradigms of behaviourist and constructivist approaches to learning, this opposition does not necessarily extend to the pedagogy through which the curricula are taught. A case study of the National Curriculum in England highlights the characteristics of a curriculum based on constructivist principles, along with the impact this has when taught in a behaviourist way. It is argued that conceiving the curriculum in terms of musical competencies and pedagogy in terms of musical understanding would provide a basis for greater continuity and higher quality in the music education experienced by young people.
