Hur två olika skolor, Kulturskolan och Lilla Akademien, arbetar med motivation i ämnet fiolundervisning. I studien behandlades områden som motivation, lärande och övning. Båda skolorna granskades för att påvisa om det fanns likheter och skillnader i hur elever förhåller sig till övning och motivation. Studierna är genomförda på Kulturskolan i Stockholm samt på Lilla Akademien. Studiens material har insamlats genom fältstudier och kvalitativa intervjuer. Studiens resultat indikerar att det är viktigt att elever lär sig hur de ska öva för att få progression i sitt spel, utveckla sitt lärande och få motivation. Det som även spelar stor roll i motivation, är det sociala klimatet och den positiva upplevelsen av att spela. Studien visar på att, för att nå ett professionellt spel, behövs det ett tydligt mål.

This study examined the Kodaly approach to music teaching and investigated four different approaches to teaching first graders in elementary school to sing on pitch, echo (clap) rhythms, audiate tonal patterns, and audiate rhythm patterns. The approaches were the Kodaly approach, the traditional approach, and two eclectic approaches. One emphasized some of the techniques of the Kodaly approach, and the other emphasized some of the techniques of the Orff approach. The sample for this study consisted of one hundred twenty-one students in five classes from four different elementary schools. Two instruments were utilized: the standardized Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA) by Gordon and the Individual Performance Test (IPT) designed by the investigator. The PMMA had two sections of forty examples each and measured the child's ability to audiate tonal and rhythmic patterns. This test was administered to the children as a group and they recorded their answers on an answer sheet. The IPT was tape recorded and administered individually by the investigator and assistants. It had two sections, rhythm and tonal. The children matched pitches and clapped the rhythms they heard. Responses were tape recorded and evaluated. Pretests were given shortly after the school year began and post-test were given eight weeks later. A completely randomized analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. It was hypothesized that there would be no difference in the achievement of the children in the different classes to perform the selected skills. Findings revealed that the approach to music teaching does make a difference in the musical achievement of first-graders and their abilities to echo rhythms, match pitches, and to audiate rhythm patterns. The approach to music teaching does not make a difference in the musical achievement of the subjects and their abilities to audiate tonal patterns.

The county held in 2009 a Public Service Competitive Examination for the provision of effective positions for Music Teacher from 6th to 9th grade of elementary school, living up to the Law No. 11,789 (BRAZIL, 2008), which makes the Music subject mandatory in the Basic Education. The objective of this research is to understand how the Music Teachers learn the subject, so they can teach it in schools. The main theoretical framework of the research is based on: Mizukami (2004;2005), with his studies on the learning of teaching; Silva (2015), with his research on Curriculum Theories; and Silvino (2007), with the proposal for Music Education. The methodology used, through a qualitative approach, was a multiple cases study. Six County Music Teachers were chosen and interviewed, hired by the said Public Service Competitive Exam. According to the data analysis and the results of research, nothing is ready. The Music Teacher has been building his teaching skills through the reflection on his own practice and the experience exchange in the learning communities, among teachers themselves. The Music Education in the county, alienated to the schoolâs program, has been building its own curricular identity, having as a priority education on: music, aesthetics and integral human aspects of the student. In addition, regarding the viability of Music Education, there is a methodological multiplicity according to the experience and training of each teacher.

A presente investigação aborda os conhecimentos e habilidades músico-instrumentais e pedagógico-musicais desenvolvidos por licenciandos na disciplina “Flauta Doce no Contexto Escolar”. Tal disciplina é ofertada por uma instituição de ensino superior no segundo semestre do curso de Licenciatura em Música. A pesquisa tem como objetivo geral compreender os modos como os estudantes adquirem, utilizam e sistematizam seus conhecimentos e habilidades músico-instrumentais e pedagógico-musicais e quais desses conhecimentos e habilidades eles valorizam e selecionam, a fim de atender, tanto a demanda pedagógica, como da prática instrumental na disciplina já citada. Os objetivos específicos propostos estão relacionados: ao levantamento de experiências (aprendizagem e docência) dos licenciandos com a flauta doce; à aquisição, utilização, valorização, seleção e sistematização dos seus conhecimentos e habilidades; e à análise de um planejamento para aulas de flauta doce. A opção metodológica consistiu em uma pesquisa colaborativa, na qual participei como pesquisadora e também como professora, a partir do aceite da docente da disciplina, acompanhando a turma. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram a observação participante, entrevistas e reuniões colaborativas com a docente e estudantes da disciplina bem como registros escritos, como diário de campo e cadernos dos trabalhos em conjunto, os registros de áudio e vídeo. O referencial teórico baseia-se nos conhecimentos docentes dos professores, propostos por Shulman (1986) no campo da educação e utilizados por Ballantyne (2005; 2006) na formação de professores de música. Dos sete tipos de conhecimentos elencados por Shulman (1986), destaco o conhecimento do conteúdo da matéria, que pode ser dividido em três categorias, que são o conhecimento do conteúdo da matéria, o conhecimento curricular e o conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo, que se refere a como dar aulas. No campo da educação musical, além dos conhecimentos, são consideradas também as habilidades instrumentais, pedagógicas e musicais. Os resultados da presente investigação apontam que a compreensão acerca dos conhecimentos e habilidades adotados nessa tese é construída pelos acadêmicos no segundo semestre do curso, havendo variação entre os estudantes e a demanda das tarefas. Foram identificadas e analisadas as três categorias relativas ao conhecimento de conteúdo nas atividades propostas em aula, bem como levantados conhecimentos e habilidades musicais dos licenciandos, como realizar acompanhamentos instrumentais e ter preferência em tocar “de ouvido”. As demandas institucionais dos licenciandos entrevistados que já dão aulas de flauta doce exigem-lhes, além dos conhecimentos e habilidades pedagógicos do conteúdo e conhecimento curricular, conhecimentos e habilidades profissionais e conhecimentos dos fins, princípios e valores da educação. Os acadêmicos destacaram que o planejamento pôde ser construído a partir da sua compreensão do processo vivenciado durante o semestre letivo, com a sequência das aulas, suas atividades e das reflexões geradas. O planejamento dos estudantes que já dão aulas evidenciou os conhecimentos curriculares e conhecimentos e habilidades profissionais. / The present text investigates the musical-instrumental and musical-pedagogical skills and knowledge sets developed by students of a class denominated "The recorder flute in the school context". This class is offered by a graduate level institution during the second semester of the Music Teacher Education Program. The general aim of this research is to understand the modes through which students acquire, use and systematize the knowledge sets as well as the instrumental and pedagogical skills acquired, and which of these knowledges sets and abilities they value and select in order to address the pedagogical requirements and the necessary instrument skills in the aforementioned class. The specific goals proposed are related to: the collection of experiences (apprenticeship and teaching) of licenciates with the recorder; the acquisition, employment, valuing, selection and systematization of their knowledges sets and abilities; and the analysis of a teaching plan for the recorder. The methodological approach consists of a collaborative research group, in which the author participated as a research fellow and also as a teacher, in agreement with the main lecturer in this specific class, monitoring the students. Data gathering procedures included participative observation, interviews and collaborative meetings with the teacher and the students in the class as well as written registries, such as field notes and group assignment notebooks, along with audio and video materials. The theoretical reference is based on the teaching knowledges of teachers as proposed by Shulman (1986) in the field of education and adopted by Ballantyne (2005; 2006) in the training of music teachers. Of the seven types of knowledge listed by Shulman (1986), the author calls specific attention to knowledge of the subject content, curricular knowledge and pedagogical knowledge of the subject matter, which covers how to teach. In the field of music education, besides the knowledge sets, pedagogical, musical and instrumental abilities are also taken into consideration. The results of the present investigation point to the fact that comprehension of the knowledges sets and abilities adopted in this thesis is construed by academics in the second semester of the course, and notes that there is a variation between students and the tasks required. Three categories related to knowledge of the content in activities proposed inside the classroom where identified and analyzed, and musical abilities and knowledges of licenciates where listed, such as the realization of instrumental accompaniments and the preference for "playing by ear". The institutional demands of the interviewed licenciates that already teach require of these, besides the pedagogical knowledge and abilities of the content itself and the curricular subject matters, professional knowledge and abilities related to the goals, principles and values of education. These individuals highlighted that planning was made possible based on their comprehension of the process experienced during the school semester, taking into account class sequence, their activities and the reflections gleaned from these. The teaching plans of the students that already teach put into evidence the curricular and professional knowledge and abilities of these students.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral compreender como ocorre o processo de desenvolvimento profissional do professor de música a partir da sua relação com a escola de educação básica. A visão conceitual de lugar de Tuan e de Lévy e Lussault, de desenvolvimento profissional de Nóvoa e de construção biográfica de Delory-Momberger, bem como a pesquisa autobiográfica e as narrativas, constituem o referencial teóricometodológico desta pesquisa. O estudo foi realizado por meio de entrevistas narrativas com quatro professores licenciados, experientes e atuantes em escolas de educação básica de Porto Alegre, RS. A análise dos dados foi construída a partir de macrotemas que emergiram dos dados das entrevistas: do trabalho na escola de educação básica; da relação com os sujeitos escolares – o outro; da autoformação. Esses macrotemas são como marcas perceptíveis no processo de desenvolvimento profissional do professor de música. A análise indica que o desenvolvimento profissional de cada professor é único e pessoal, já que constituído por meio das experiências. O outro, o eu e a construção do eu com o outro – o lugar, são os eixos que sustentam o desenvolvimento profissional dos professores. É na alteridade que o professor se desenvolve. Portanto, se reconhecer na experiência na e com a escola é condição do desenvolvimento profissional do professor de música, sendo a experiência com o lugar o que constitui a toca. A toca é um lugar interno de formação, que, ao amalgamar formação pessoal e profissional, se torna lugar promotor do desenvolvimento profissional. Essa dinâmica do processo de desenvolvimento profissional se dá a partir da constituição da toca (ethos), da sua morada, em que os professores constroem lugar em si mesmos, constituindo-se biograficamente a partir da escola (lugar). A presente pesquisa procura dar maior visibilidade às relações do professor com a escola como base do desenvolvimento profissional do professor, pensando a escola não como um pano de fundo, mas na complexidade de sua dimensão espacial, tendo em vista compreender o processo em que se alia a formação com a atuação e fornecer pistas para pensar a formação de professores em cursos de licenciatura em música. / This research had as general objective to understand how the professional development process of music teacher occurs from its relation with the school of basic education. The conceptual view of place of Tuan and Lévy and Lussault, of professional development of Nóvoa and of biographical construction of Delory-Momberger, as well as autobiographical research and narratives constitute the theoretical-methodological reference of this research. The study was carried out through narrative interviews with four licensed teachers, which are experienced and active in basic education schools in Porto Alegre, RS. The analysis of the data was based on the macro-themes that emerged from the interview data: the work in the basic education school; the relationship with the school subjects - the other; the self-training. These macro themes are perceptible marks in the professional development process of the music teacher. The analysis indicates that the professional development of each teacher is unique and personal, since it is constituted through experiences. The other, the self and the construction of the self with the other - the place, are the axes that sustain the professional development of the teachers. It is in alterity that the teacher develops him/herself. Therefore, to recognize oneself in the experience at and with the school, there is a condition for the professional development of music teacher. This experience with the place is the toca. The toca is an internal place of formation, which, by amalgamating personal and professional formation becomes a promoter of professional development. These dynamics of the process of professional development comes from the constitution of the toca (ethos), of its dwelling, in which the teachers construct place in themselves, being constituted biographically from the school (place). The present research seeks to give greater visibility to the relations between the teacher and the school as a basis for the professional development of the teacher, thinking of the school not as a background, but of the complexity of its spatial dimension, as a way to understand the process in which it allies the training with the acting and providing clues to think about the training of teachers in undergraduate music courses.

The way in which music teachers choose and use the subject content in ensemble and music theory in the upper secondary school is focused in this study. The point of interest is the everyday classroom teaching of music teachers. The intentions that music teachers have with their teaching is also studied. This thesis is a study of music teaching and is a subject-didactic investigation, inspired by variation theory. The overarching aim of the thesis is to study how music teachers in upper secondary school choose teaching content when teaching ensemble and music theory. The teachers’ use of the teaching content implies that they choose to focus and teach certain parts in their teaching. This choice of con- tent and how it is used is in focus in this study. The research questions are: How do music teachers choose teaching content when teaching ensemble and music theory in upper secondary school? How do music teachers use the teaching con- tent in their teaching? The data collection includes video-documented lessons and qualitative inter- views with five music teachers in upper secondary school in 2004. The analysis reveals two different choices of content. When the teachers have music and theory as the content of their teaching, it is the content that guides the teaching methods, where the teacher uses a fixed content, which is then presented in different ways; this was mainly in music theory. When the content is music activities, the music teachers adjust the activity-based content in accordance with the level of the pupils’ skills in ensemble. The differences that occur in the varia- tion theory results are closely related to the teaching content. The foundations of the two different choices of content that are made by the music teachers, as well as the significance of the learning objects, are finally discussed.

The research aims to uncover and understand how the teaching of music has been developed in the area researched, beginning the study from the memories of five teachers who worked on it. The theoretical background focuses on studies about memory (BOSI, 1994; HALBWACHS, 2006 and TEDESCO, 2004). The methodological construction is supported by the principles of qualitative research, having the oral history been adopted as method. The live musical experiences, experimentation and music creation have characterized the classroom teaching practices of five teachers surveyed, with direct reflex on classes conducted during the course. The course curriculum and organization in the period researched reflected the active teachers‟ thinking and diverse backgrounds. The study about the experiences lived by others through memories - in this case, oral testimonies reported by teachers about teaching music to children at elementary levels in a fresh past aims to contribute to an understanding by the future generations, of past musical educational practices as well as helping to rethink the course‟s senses and meanings studied in the contemporaneity. / Esta dissertação trata sobre o ensino de música no Curso de Iniciação Artística (CIART) da Escola de Música da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (EMUFRN) Curso de extensão universitária, destinado a musicalizar crianças. A pesquisa tem por objetivo desvelar e compreender como se constituiu o ensino de música no espaço estudado, partindo das lembranças de cinco professoras que nele atuaram. O referencial teórico se centra em estudos sobre a memória em uma perspectiva social (Bosi, 1994; Halbwachs, 2006 e Tedesco, 2004). A construção metodológica está apoiada nos princípios da pesquisa qualitativa, tendo sido adotada a história oral como método. O presente estudo revelou vivências musicais, experimentações e criação musical que caracterizaram as práticas educativas das professoras pesquisadas, e seus reflexos diretos nas aulas ministradas no Curso. O currículo e a organização do CIART no período pesquisado refletiram o pensamento e as diversas formações das docentes atuantes. O estudo acerca de experiências vividas por outros pelo viés das lembranças no caso, testemunhos orais narrados por professoras sobre ensinar música em nível elementar a crianças em um passado recente visa contribuir para uma compreensão, pelas gerações futuras, de práticas educativas musicais do passado.
