<p>This qualitative study examines a music therapy student’s practice on a paediatric ward in a general hospital in New Zealand. The study arose after I experienced challenges engaging and interacting with patients in a hospital play therapy setting, where patients stay was short-term. The research identified the music therapy methods, techniques and strategies I used to initiate and sustain musical interaction with them. Findings were generated from secondary analysis of two months’ worth of clinical documentation and reflection. Both inductive and deductive thematic analysis was used to analyse the clinical data and reflection. The literature on paediatric music therapy, musical play and play therapy were reviewed. Findings are presented in two parts. The first section highlights the predominant music therapy methods I used: range of instruments, singing, use of props, listening, use of discussion and musical games; and the overlaps of strategies and techniques within. The second section identifies four main categories of music therapy goals to illustrate the unique and subtle differences of music therapy methods, strategies and techniques in relation to the goals. Subsequently, in the discussion section, findings are considered in the light of the literature, and limitations of the research are addressed.</p>

The focus of this study was to investigate the effects of both pre- and post-matriculation academic achievement on the likelihood and timing of high-achieving student departures from STEM majors at elite universities. While there has been robust research on persistence in STEM as a whole, survival analysis to investigate the timing of events is still a novel tool to investigate departure from STEM majors. Using longitudinal data collected at Harvard, secondary analysis was conducted to examine the research questions using discrete-time survival analysis. The researcher found that demographic characteristics of the students in the sample were not significant in predicting time-to STEM major attrition. However, verbal achievement was found to be the most significant predictor of STEM major attrition, with higher levels of verbal achievement leading to higher levels of attrition from STEM majors to non-STEM majors.
