The purpose of this study was to describe novice band directors' perceptions of (a) the importance of skills/knowledge competencies, (b) the difficulty of acquiring skills/knowledge competencies, (c) differences between teaching competency importance and acquisition ratings, (d) benefits of university coursework, and (e) potential improvements to coursework. Survey participants (N = 85) rated competency importance, competency acquisition difficulty, and answered two opened-ended questions regarding the role of university coursework in skills/knowledge acquisition. Participants rated the personal competency category as the most important, followed by the teaching and musical categories. Furthermore, participants rated the personal competency category as the easiest to acquire, followed by musical and teaching categories. There was a statistically significant difference between teaching importance and ease of acquisition, with the teaching importance category rated higher. Participants perceived secondary instrument instruction, teaching experiences, core music curriculum, and instruction regarding practical competencies as positive aspects of university coursework. Secondary instrument instruction, field experiences, non-instructional aspects of teaching, and music pedagogy were discussed as areas for improvement. Discussions about curricular content adjustment and future research are included.

The current study examined the structure of achievement emotions (enjoyment, anxiety, boredom) and sources of self-efficacy (mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasions, and physiological state) of the elementary students by asking whether the two systems were related. Results revealed that the students enjoyed doing mathematics and felt less anxious and bored in different academic settings. Elementary students' sources of self-efficacy regarding mastery experience, vicarious experience and social persuasions were found to be sufficient. They held a low level of sources of self-efficacy regarding physiological state. Findings revealed that gender is not a distinguishing factor when explaining students' achievement emotions and sources of self-efficacy. A significant difference was found between students' achievement emotions and sources of self-efficacy regarding mathematics achievement. Results of the study revealed that achievement emotions and sources of mathematics self-efficacy were closely intertwined.

The purpose of this literature review is to define verbal protocols and explore how two methodological tools -- think-alouds and stimulated recall -- may apply to research in music education practices. Pinpointing the inner workings of these processes may extend the ongoing work within music education and further support how novice music teachers notice, observe, and understand the nuances involved in music teaching. Across the reviewed body of research in music education, stimulated recall and think-alouds helped participants access their tacit knowledge and think metacognitively about their thought processes while solving musical problems, listening, and teaching. Overwhelmingly, the participants across all of the reviewed music education studies demonstrated notable improvement in their ability to identify and describe aspects of their cognitive processes.

Self-compassion is a relatively new construct that is viewed as an alternative to self-esteem. Self-compassion can be described as how individuals view themselves when encountering failure or obstacles. The purpose of this study was to examine how college-age music students report self-compassion in comparison to non-music students. We hypothesized a difference in self-compassion levels between music students and non-music students as there are reported differences in personality traits and anxiety between musicians and their non-music peers. Self-compassion levels were evaluated in two data collections using the 26-item Self-Compassion Scale with an added self-report prompt examining frequency of performance anxiety in the second study. Both studies revealed no significant difference in self-compassion levels between groups, although a significant correlation was detected between experiences of performance anxiety and a self-compassion subcomponent: over-identification. While these results did not reveal a difference between groups, performance anxiety in musicians may be related to perceived self-compassion.

Preparing to become a music teacher educator is a complex process and one component of this process should be learning to model, demonstrate, and teach assessment practices to preservice music educators. The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to discover how, and to what extent, music teacher educators (MTEs) are educated about assessment. A secondary purpose was to uncover whether related concerns or assurances exist within the context of music teacher education for MTEs. Respondents (N = 149) completed a questionnaire designed to determine music teacher educators' preparation to use and teach assessment. We found that more respondents had experience with assessment preparation at the graduate level, rather than the undergraduate level. Respondents described multiple concerns with the sequence and importance of assessment in their preparation and education experiences. Recommendations for enhancing music teacher educator preparation, specifically with respect to assessment, and suggestions for future research are given.

Employees' organizational commitment is considered as a crucial issue in higher education setting for realizing institutional vision, attaining its goals, and uplifting employees' motivation to achieve better work performance. This subject has, therefore, been studied so as to draw attention to enhance the effectiveness of Ethiopian higher education institutions with particular reference to Haramaya University. Thus, the main objective of this study was to assess academic staffs' level of organizational commitment. In addition, the study assessed whether there exist a significant difference in academic staffs' level of organizational commitment in terms of their gender and level of education. A cross-sectional research design was employed in the study. Primary and secondary data sources were used. A commitment scale questionnaire was used to collect data from 275 participants who were selected using stratified random sampling technique as well as further information about the study were also collected using focus group discussion and document review. The quantitative data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics; the qualitative data were analyzed using content and narration methods of data analysis. The study revealed that academic staffs of the university have moderate level of organizational commitment. With this level of organizational commitment, it is less likely to attain both individual work performance objectives and organizational missions and vision of the university. In addition, there were relative implications of turnover, turnover intention, absenteeism, and demotivation among academic staffs. The study further revealed that although there is no significant difference in level of commitment with reference to gender, academic staffs' level of organizational commitment was significantly different with reference to their level of education. Thus, it is recommended that the working environment of the university is revisited by giving due emphasis to and addressing the determinants that lower the organizational commitment of the staff.

Mathematics, along with the need for logic and thinking, is becoming more important in many fields. Therefore, many universities in Korea have opened and operated a college basic math course to improve basic math skills for freshmen in science and engineering. The new generation of digital generation is creative, familiar with cooperation and active. They are already rapidly changing and ready for new education, and education needs a new paradigm to evolve. Flipped Learning is being suggested which is well known as a teaching method which lets students learn the contents they will learn in advance through the advance online video and have a discussion through the team interaction in the main class for them to solve the assignment through the cooperation in a self-initiated way. In this study, we have taken a merit of flipped learning, made a model of Gauss Jordan elimination method in matrix that students cannot easily understand in the lecture. Here, we will introduce a teaching model that combines flipping learning and existing lecture methods.

This paper aims to provide teachers with a practical guide to working in an IT enabled classroom. The paper outlines four central practical examples, with teacher reflections, of what was required in starting an actual IT enabled English listening &amp; speaking program. The classroom environment described is board-less, meaning the teacher's presented with PowerPoint. The environment is largely paperless, meaning a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach was implemented for both students and teachers. The paperless philosophy also meant material creation was digital, and delivery/submission was via Google Classroom. The teachers' largely thrived in the environment, and many unexpected affordances were discovered, however, technical and pedagogical issues were also identified and the paper troubleshoots ways in which IT enabled EFL classrooms could be enhanced.

Educational game is a game especially for the kid, that contains educational materials designed in an interactive game that aims to improve intelligence as well as providing knowledge to the users. The opportunity to make android-based education game is open wide, especially the game that exploit local content. In this research, we will develop the education game that has the main goal to introduce Indonesia to the learners. Games that will be built is android-based game that explore the knowledge or specific fact about certain region or provinces in Indonesia, so it will called as &quot;Mengenal Indonesia&quot;. This game is expected can act as a learning medium to introduce about Indonesia to the student, in interesting way. The game also be equipped with quiz about specific fact on the region that selected by the player. The game is built through ADDIE model as an approach. ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) is an approach that common use in design a learning content. The tools that used to build the game is FlashDevelop and using ActionScript 3.0 as programming language. After the game built, we conduct the survey to test the respond of the user. The result show that most of the user feel &quot;Mengenal Indonesia&quot; can help them improving knowledge about Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to build the game that has the content the knowledge about Indonesia. This paper will discuss the approach, design and making of educational game that contains information about Indonesia area. This content is selected because currently there is no educational game with a similar content available in the market and this content can be act as additional resource on the Social Sciences subject at elementary school level. The game, we call as &quot;Mengenal Indonesia&quot;, previous name is &quot;know your country&quot;, focusing to introduce some unique aspect about specific region in Indonesia. The source of knowledge we take from the book &quot;RIPUT&quot; (Ringkasan Pengetahuan Umum), that contains common knowledge about Indonesia, such as the longest river, the highest mountain, the fact about certain place in Indonesia, and many more. The game was built using ADDIE approach, that consist 5 steps: analysis, design, deployment, implementation, and evaluation. The game was built using FlashDevelop and ActionScript 3.0 as language script.

Critical Thinking is the mental process of analysing or evaluating information. The review of literature reveals that higher education, in particular is now placing an emphasis upon exposing matriculates to the concept of critical thinking and challenging them to develop those skills and dispositions necessary for improving the quality of their lives. The aim of critical thinking is to promote independent thinking, personal autonomy and reasoned judgment in thought and action. This involves two related dimensions: the ability to reason well and the disposition to do so. A structured critical thinking approach was created to train professional students for their professional market-ready development and thus becoming part of comprehensive professional training for students upon graduation. It is also an area which would pave the way for further research in one of the most critical area of human development. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the model based on the literatures done by previous researchers thus highlighting the importance of critical thinking in professional accounting education.

This study aims to explore the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment of the trainee teachers. Teacher job satisfaction and organizational commitment play a significant role in the furtherance of teaching and learning perfectly. Generally, satisfied and committed teachers are more likely to motivate students to learn in the classroom settings. The participants of the research consist of 170 trainee teachers in the province of Bitlis, and its districts (Adilcevaz, Ahlat and Tatvan) in the 2015-2016 academic year. In this study, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale and Organizational Commitment Scales were used as data collection tools. The analyses of the data revealed that there was a negative relationship between job satisfaction of the teachers and continuance commitment. The analysis also showed a significant and positive relationship between job satisfaction and normative commitment. However, there was no significant relationship between job satisfaction of teachers and affective commitment sub-dimension of organizational commitment. While the levels of the sub-dimensions of organizational commitment are analyzed, it can be seen that normative and continuance commitment sub-dimensions of organizational commitment affect job satisfaction significantly, but affective commitment sub-dimension has no significant impact on job satisfaction.
