Music Therapy Students' Experiences As The Client In Group Muisc Therapy, Nancy Jackson, Susan Gardstrom
Susan Gardstrom
This report highlights a collaborative, phenomenological study undertaken by 2 faculty researchers from different undergraduate music therapy training programs in the Midwest. A total of 9 junior and senior music therapy students from both programs (5 from one & 4 from another) were involved in short-term group music therapy, participating in three 2-hour sessions during the course of an academic semester. Sessions were facilitated by the researchers, both of whom were board certified music therapists. To ensure ethical treatment, each researcher led sessions with the students from the other university, with whom they had no dual relationships. Student participants were …

Expanding The Master-Apprentice Model: Tool For Orchestrating Collaboration As A Path To Self-Directed Learning For Singing Students, Lotte Latukefu, Irina Verenikina
Expanding The Master-Apprentice Model: Tool For Orchestrating Collaboration As A Path To Self-Directed Learning For Singing Students, Lotte Latukefu, Irina Verenikina
I. Verenikina
Continued, life-long, self-directed learning is a key element of academic excellence - a desirable graduate attribute of a modern tertiary institution (Nicol, 2010). The development of self-directed learners 'involves a new role for teachers which focuses on process-orientated teaching, with students actively involved in the learning process' (Cassidy, 2011: 8). This process of teaching and learning is more than 'face-to-face interaction or the simple transmission of prescribed knowledge and skills' (Daniels, 2001: 2; it assumes a specific paradigm of teacher-student interaction, where the teadcher shares his/her expertise with the learners in a collaborative dialogue, facilitates the students' awareness of their …

Youth In Australia - Policy, Administration And Politics, Terry Irving, David Maunders, Geoff Sherington
Terence H Irving, Dr (Terry)
This book describes and analyses the development of youth policy in Australia since the end of World War II. Three eras are distinguished in terms of how society constructed youth as a problem: as juvenile delinquency (to 1960); as a generation gap (to the mid-1970s); and most recently as a wasted resource (1975-1990). In each period chapters cover: the social and demographic context and images of young people; policy development; bureaucratic structures; and the politics of youth and youth policy.
Comorbidity Of Anxiety-Depression Among Australian University Students: Implications For Student Counsellors, Vicki Bitsika, Christopher Sharpley
Comorbidity Of Anxiety-Depression Among Australian University Students: Implications For Student Counsellors, Vicki Bitsika, Christopher Sharpley
Vicki Bitsika
The incidence, factor structure and scale item differences in anxiety-depression comorbidity were investigated in a sample of Australian university students defined according to the presence of anxiety and/or depression. The incidence of anxiety-depression comorbidity was over 32%, about four times that for anxiety or depression alone. Participants with comorbidity had significantly higher Selfrating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) total and factor scores than those with anxiety or depression alone. The major differences between the comorbid and unitary disordered subgroups were for self-disintegration and autonomic arousal. Comorbidity of anxiety and depression is a more serious disorder than either …
Men As Students And Teachers Of Feminist Scholarship, Michael Flood
Men As Students And Teachers Of Feminist Scholarship, Michael Flood
Michael G Flood
When men participate as students in Womenÿs and Gender Studies (WGS) classrooms, they undergo feminist change. They adopt more progressive understandings of gender, show greater support for feminism, and increase their involvement in antisexist activism. Male students in WGS classrooms benefit to the same degree as female students, showing similar levels of change, although they start with poorer attitudes and thus the gap between them and their female peers persists. At the same time, male studentsÿ presence highlights critical challenges to feminist pedagogy: gendered patterns of interaction, resistance to feminist teaching, and limitations on womenÿs critical reflections on personal experience. …

Interaction Online: A Reevaluation, John Battalio
Interaction Online: A Reevaluation, John Battalio
John T. Battalio
Instructors commonly assume that the successful online course must replicate its live counterpart by including a variety of interactions among student, instructor, and computer. Given the changing lifestyles prompted by an evolving Internet, an increasing student need for autonomy, and student learning styles, highly interactive courses may not necessarily be the best online approach. In this article, I review research dealing with interactive environments, present the results of my own interaction study, and propose an integrative approach for the use of interaction that sees it in light of the increasing integration of the Internet into students' daily lives.
