Teaching Music

An audiotape of the tunes of 25 standard songs assumed to be known by everyone who has finished Grade 6 was played for 273 undergraduate music therapy and music education students and 306 elementary education students who were beginning a music skills class. Music majors identified significantly more tunes than did elementary education majors, but the means for both groups indicated that neither had developed a strong repertoire of standard songs outside the college classroom. Several songs that music educators have stated are very important for children to learn could not be identified by even half the students in either group. It is recommended that those preparing elementary education students emphasize building a song repertoire and that those teaching music therapy and education students consider adding this goal to appropriate courses.

Survey Results

Abstract This study describes survey results measuring the knowledge undergraduate elementary education major students have about augmentative and alternative communication. Those students with experience and course knowledge surrounding AAC were more knowledgeable. Implications for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) will be addressed, including how SLPs can provide classroom teachers with classroom support for general education teachers.

Teaching Setting

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of teaching setting [peer versus practicum] and self-evaluation tools [Continuous Response Digital Interface (general) versus behavioral checklist (specific)] on the development of teacher intensity behaviors among preservice elementary education majors enrolled in a music methods course. Subjects were divided into four treatment groups and completed a pretest and posttest and four treatment lessons. Analyses indicated that teaching setting and self-evaluation did not have a differential effect on teacher intensity. All subjects made significant gains from pretest to posttest, with differences among lessons. Comparative analyses indicated subjects rated themselves higher than did experts. An attitude survey indicated that subjects who taught children rated the course higher than subjects who taught their peers, whereas subjects who completed general self-evaluations rated the course higher than did subjects who completed specific self-evaluations.

What are the attitudes toward arithmetic of preservice elementary education majors? At what educational level were these attitudes developed? Are the attitudes of preservice elementary education majors altered by courses in their mathematics preparatory program? Questions such as these are of paramount importance to those engaged in preparation of elementary school teachers.

The University

At the University of Bangkok, Thailand, 100 female education majors completed a semantic differential type scale of 10 concepts written in Thai language. That instrument, in English translation, was presented to 100 randomly selected education majors at the University of Georgia. Semantic differential responses by each group were factor analyzed by the principal components solution. Comparisons were made between the Thai students and the American students on feelings of value, power, and activity toward each of the 10 concepts.
