| Summary: | The purpose of this evaluative study is to redefine music
education as a result of the Year 2000 document in British
Columbia. This investigation seeks to provide a positive and
effective partnership between music educators and their
curricular objectives contemporary in elementary educational
environments.
The present approach to music education is, in
comparison to contemporary practices in elementary education
archaic. This qualitative study seeks to determine if music
education would be successful in a nongraded structure.
Implications for music educators teaching in a nongraded
environment include: grouping strategies, curriculum
development integrating nongradedness, evaluation methods
and techniques. This thesis develops a Nongraded Music
Education Curriculum and Assessment Model.
The results of this thesis will help music educators balance
the need for practical day-to-day understanding of pedagogical
teaching methodology with the need to aspire to ascertain new
ideals, conceptualizations and philosophies concerning their
role of music educator. === Education, Faculty of === Graduate
