Free Download John Encarnacao, "Teaching and Evaluating Music Performance at University: Beyond the Conservatory Model "
English | ISBN: 1032236175 | 2021 | 268 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 8 MB
Fresh perspectives on teaching and evaluating music performance in higher education are offered in this book. One-to-one pedagogy and Western art music, once default positions of instrumental teaching, are giving way to a range of approaches that seek to engage with the challenges of the music industry and higher education sector funding models of the twenty-first century. Many of these approaches – formal, informal, semi-autonomous, notated, using improvisation or aleatory principles, incorporating new technology – are discussed here. Chapters also consider the evolution of the student, play as a medium for learning, reflective essay writing, multimodal performance, interactivity and assessment criteria.

Evaluating Evidence A Positivist Approach to Reading Sources on Modern Japan


Free Download George Akita, "Evaluating Evidence: A Positivist Approach to Reading Sources on Modern Japan"
English | 2008 | pages: 289 | ISBN: 0824825608 | PDF | 3,9 mb
Evaluating Evidence is based on the grueling lessons learned by a senior scholar during three decades of tutoring by, and collaboration with, Japanese historians. George Akita persisted in the difficult task of reading documentary sources in Japanese, most written in calligraphic style (sôsho), out of the conviction of their centrality to the historian’s craft and his commitment to a positivist methodology to research and scholarship. He argues forcefully in this volume for an inductive process in which the scholar seeks out facts on a subject and, through observation and examination of an extensive body of data, is able to discern patterns until it is possible to formulate certain propositions.

Evaluating Evaluators An Evaluation of Education in Germany


Free Download Evaluating Evaluators: An Evaluation of Education in Germany By Susan Harris-Huemmert (auth.)
2011 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 3531177834 | PDF | 2 MB
How do evaluators of higher education go about their work? How are groups of evaluators put together? How do they reach consensus on the criteria of quality in the discipline or degree programme under examination? What problems do evaluators encounter and how do they resolve them? Susan Harris-Huemmert investigates these questions in this detailed case study of an evaluation commission that inspected education departments in the German state of Baden-Württemberg (universities and teacher-training colleges) during 2003/2004. This work takes up not only topics germane to evaluators of higher education, but also illustrates the politics and contextual issues surrounding the discipline of education in Germany during the first decade of the 21st century. The book will be of interest to education researchers, students of evaluation, peer reviewers and those working in higher education quality assurance.
