    This research aims at studying the relationship between the satisfaction on class cluster classroom reflected by teachers in elementary school and its management performance, the main purposes include: 1. To further investigation and study on the basic concept and related theories of class cluster classroom design with open space. 2. To understand the current status of class cluster classroom in Kao-ping area which adopts open space design and the class management performance run by teachers on the class cluster classroom which adopts open space design. 3. To study and analysis on the differences of the satisfaction and the class management performance of class cluster classroom, which adopts open space, reflected by teachers of different background variables. 4. To investigate the relationship and forecasting between the cluster classroom satisfaction and the class management performance reflected by teachers in the elementary school. 5. Suggestions will be proposed based on the study results so as to be used by teachers who practically operate and apply class cluster classroom of open space and by persons who are going to perform planning on school building of open space in the elementary school. \ue2Questionnaire survey\ue2 will be the main method used in this study, the sampled targets will be from all the teachers, who adopt open space in designing class cluster classroom, in the schools of Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County and Pingtung County; the number questionnaires are about 356 copies and a total of 310 effective questionnaires are recycled. The research tool in this study is self-developed \ue2A questionnaire on the relationship between class cluster classroom with open space design and the class management performance\ue2, statistical methods used include: descriptive statistical analysis, independent sample t test, single factor ANOVA (analysis on variance), Pearson product-moment correlation, stepwise multiple regression analysis, etc. The following conclusions are derived based on the results of this study: 1. Teachers have above-average evaluation on class cluster classroom with open space design. 2. Class cluster teachers in elementary schools have higher class management performance. 3. For teachers in Kaohisung city, teachers with part-time administrative duties, teachers in L shape class cluster module or teachers with 2 years (included) or below of teaching experiences in this school show higher satisfaction on the class cluster classroom adopting open space design. 4. For teachers in schools of Kaohsiung city, in schools of L shape and \ue2Arc\ue2 shape class cluster modules,all show better class management performance. 5. Class cluster classrooms adopting open space design is helpful in improving class management performance. 6. Among all background variables such as teacher\ue2s background, class cluster classroom adopting open space design, etc., \ue2city of school served\ue2 and \ue2accessory equipment and space\ue2 have the highest forecasting power on the class management performance of teachers. The researcher of this study would like to propose the following suggestions based on the findings and conclusions of this study: 1. To improve school space to drive the core engine of educational reform. 2. To need government\ue2s policy support to activate space function of campus. 3. To let the users to participate so as to inspire the idea of like-to-teach and like-to-learn. 4. To build appropriate space to inspire innovative momentum of teachers. 5. To take good use of space resource to realize class management synergy. 6. To continue research and evaluation and continue the dialogue between people and space. 7. Future research study: to include suggestions on research aims, tools and methods

    Portfolio of recorded performances and exegesis: Messiaen’s musical language for the jazz pianist - an exploration through performance.

    No full text
    Moving beyond Gunther Schuller’s Third Stream amalgamation of classical and jazz, this study explores whether the musical language of Olivier Messiaen can make a valid contribution to jazz piano performance. Initially, my project sought to answer such questions as: What elements of the musical language of Messiaen already exist in the jazz vocabulary? Am I able to extend this further? What are the timbral structures and pianistic effects within Messiaen’s musical language? What will be the most effective application of Messiaen’s musical language to jazz piano performance? Endeavouring to answer the final question led me to consider such aspects as whether the project should be limited to quoting Messiaen motifs, arranging Messiaen melodies, replacing jazz harmonic structures on standards with examples from Messiaen’s musical language or whether it would be better to approach the research conceptually. The work of Hubert Nuss provided encouraging reassurance that this was not an impossible task. In order to articulate this conception, the initial challenge was to decide how the classical and jazz worlds might meet in a ‘Messiaen’ technique. The approach adopted was similar to that used for undergraduate jazz study, namely, immersion in the piano scores and recordings of Messiaen’s music as well as by live performances. This was followed by the development and assessment of a contrived approach when specific techniques, such as tonal colourings or harmonic structures, were developed through prepared exercises and consciously included in my performance. It was then compared with an intuitive approach when no such precise parameters were established. This submission consists of CD recordings of two public recitals and an exegesis. It documents the development of this Messiaen technique and discusses its application in my performances. It also demonstrates the ways that Messiaen’s musical language can be used within jazz piano performance to provide a colour that distinguishes jazz piano performance in a competitive field.Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 201
