Reforma educativa en Québec: opiniones de un grupo de maestras de música

The purpose of this study was to analyze how school music teachers perceived the Québec reform in education and how it influenced their educational practice in the classroom. Interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of seven teachers. The most important emergent theme was the perception of a fundamental change of teacher and student roles. It was also pointed out that the reform proposes a new pedagogical model based on the development of disciplinary and transversal competencies. The main difficulties for teachers were related to the structural and organizational aspects of evaluation, the lack of time dedicated to music teaching and the teaching load per week.
