Applications of Peer Assessment and Self-Assessment in Music

Feedback is crucial to students’ growth as musicians. Fortunately, the teacher is not the sole source of feedback in the music classroom. Under the right conditions, students can provide actionable feedback to themselves and each other. This article showcases the work of three elementary music specialists who have innovatively incorporated formative peer assessment and self-assessment in their music lessons to promote student learning and self-direction

The Value of Assessment for the Inclusive General Music Classroom

This project contains an analysis of the current inclusion and assessment practices of the middle school (7th and 8th grade) general music classroom. There are many studies concerning inclusion of students with special needs and the importance of assessments in teaching music. However, there are very few studies that connect assessment techniques with inclusion, demonstrating that music teachers are teaching to each student’s ability. This study used the case study methodology in the qualitative approach with teacher interviews, surveys, and several classroom observations to analyze the data. The data was coded, and names of people and the school district were anonymized to protect the privacy of those involved. After the data was analyzed, the best strategies for assessment as well as how to use those assessments were provided. The purpose of this project is to present findings on how methods of assessment can increase the success of all students in the inclusive general music classroom

Swedish and Finnish Pre-Service Teachers’ Perceptions of Summative Assessment Practices

Summative assessments are an exercise of authority and something that pupils cannot easily appeal. The importance of teachers being able to assess their pupils correctly is consequently both a question of national equivalence and individual fairness. Therefore, summative assessment is a paramount theme in teacher education, and we aimed to investigate the perceptions and competence of student teachers regarding common summative assessment practices. The study was conducted at three universities, two in Sweden and one in Finland involving prospective language teachers responding to an online survey (N = 131). In addition, interviews were carried out with 20 Swedish and 6 Finnish student teachers. The analysis of the data indicates that student teachers value practices that enhance communication and collaboration as well as the curricular alignment of summative assessments. With respect to perceived competence, the respondents in general felt most confident with deploying traditional forms of summative assessment, while they were more uncertain about process evaluation and oral skills. Regarding significant differences in the participants’ perceptions of competence among the three universities, Finnish university students reported higher levels in all variables. However, room for improvement was found at all universities involved

Besides, it is necessary to give students more room to practice and develop themselves to be open-minded through activities in both classroom and extracurricular

Revitalising Anti Corruption Values in Economy Development as The Learning for Pre-service Teachers Changing Asia

This study aims to develop anti-corruption values in learning as the form of the economic development for pre-service teachers. This study uses Development Research Method according to procedural development model which is descriptive. It shows the steps which should be followed to produce the effective product to be used. The system approach model and steps designed and developed according to Dick & Carey. The method used is t test (Paired Samples Test) to know the affectivity of teaching material. Descriptive quantitative analysis technique is used to compare students‘ ability before it is taught using teaching material after using teaching material. The research sample is 30 students who are selected using random technique. The result of study shows that pretest and posttest are very different significantly (P < 0.000, df = 29, t = -51.470), by the difference from both of them is -8.667. The negative values of their difference show that the pretest is lower than post test. It means that the teaching material has increased the students‘ learning result that is 8.67 compared to the previous condition. Based on the analysis result, it can be concluded that the teaching material is proven significantly to increase the students‘ learning result

Conference (11a : 2018 : Barcelona, Catalunya),ICDHS is the acronym of the International Committee of De­sign History and Design Studies, an organisation that brings together scholars from Spain, Cuba, Turkey, Mexico, Finland, Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Portugal, the US, Tai­wan, Canada and the UK. Since 1999, when the Design and Art History departments of the University of Barcelona organised the first edition of the ICDHS, a conference has been held every two years at a different venue around the world. These conferences have had two dis­tinct aims: first, to present original research in the fields of Design History and Design Studies and, second, to include contributions in these fields from non-hegemonic countries, offering a speaking platform to many scientific communities that are already active or are forming and developing. For that reason, the structure of the conferences combines many paral­lel strands, including poster presentations and keynote speak­ers who lecture on the conferences’ main themes. The 2018 event is rather special. The Taipei 2016 conference was the 10th edition and a commemoration of the ten celebrations to date. Returning to Barcelona in 2018 marks the end of one stage and the beginning of a new one for the Committee. The numbering chosen—“10+1”—also means that Barcelona 2018 is both an end and a beginning in the ICDHS’s own history. The book brings together 137 papers delivered at the ICDHS 10th+1 Conference held in Barcelona on 29–31 October 2018. The papers are preceded by texts of the four keynote lectures and a written tribute from the ICDHS Board to its founder and figurehead, Anna Calvera (1954–2018). The Conference, and the book, are dedicated to her memory
