Ch. 17 - Traditions and the End of Music Education
Get PDFThis chapter considers the question of how music educators determine the musical ends towards which their teaching is directed. Musical traditions, both “great” and “little,” as Estelle Jorgensen describes them, are inseparable from the philosophical traditions through which music educators determine consider their pedagogical ends. This chapter presents a three-part framework to describe how music educators might approach understanding their work as a socially embodied enactment of contrasting traditions. The term tradition is first defined as a means of categorizing philosophical schools of thought from which various musical practices can be understood. The liberal philosophical tradition that grew out of the Enlightenment has emphasized rational aesthetic contemplation as a means towards personal growth. In contrast, the critical tradition, grounded in post-Nietzschean genealogy, has prioritized politicized musical action as a means towards personal liberation. The classical tradition is presented as an alternative to both liberal and critical approaches, emphasizing the cultivation of virtue and an openness to transcendence as a means towards human flourishing. This approach, while currently underdeveloped in the philosophy of music education, would prioritize the experience of beauty as a transcendent property of being through induction into pre-existing musical traditions
Increasing International Student Integration in Ontario College Environments
Get PDFThis paper reviews the problem of how to increase international student engagement and integration in an Ontario College environment, with the ultimate goal of creating an environment and campus culture of mutual engagement. Research has shown that international students still do not report a high level of engagement at Ontario College campuses despite the fact most colleges have educated international students for many years. The dichotomy of international versus domestic student problematizes these issues from a myriad of perspectives. This Organizational Improvement Plan (OIP) proposes a multi-pronged solution involving the creation of an internationalization strategy, the development of academic and cultural engagement and identity workshops as pilot projects, the creation of a Professional Improvement Community, and the integration of embedded English as a Second Language classes into curriculum to achieve improved mutual integration among international and domestic students, faculty and administrators. The problem is viewed through an International Student Cultural Integration Framework, where adaptive and authentic leadership styles lead the change and implementation process. A Plan-do-study-act cycle (PDSA) describes the implementation process and how iterative cycles of change will move from pilot workshops to full-scale organizational implementation during the course of one academic year to long-term implementation plan over five years
