%0 Journal Article %T Matching music teacherĄ¯s self conception with studentsĄ¯ perception on teaching effectiveness in an unfavourable secondary classroom context %A Bo Wah Leung %A Paulina Wong %J Revista Electr¨Žnica Complutense de Investigaci¨Žn en Educaci¨Žn Musical %D 2005 %I Universidad Complutense de Madrid %X This paper aims at identifying and recording good music teaching practices that promote social inclusion, and at developing effective teaching strategies that incorporate student perspectives into the pedagogies. A music teacher in Hong Kong was selected for this study, and two different classes of Form 2 (ages 12-13) were observed. The teaching process was videotaped and reviewed. Afterwards the teacher and a group of students were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview to solicit their ideas towards good practice of music teaching. Findings reveal that the good practices observed were attributed to four factors: 1) teacherĄ¯s personality, 2) teacherĄ¯s pedagogy, 3) teacherĄ¯s musical competence, and 4) teacherĄ¯s philosophy of teaching. %K music %K secondary schools %K teaching effectiveness %U http://www.ucm.es/info/reciem/v2n1_english.pdf
