Abstract and Keywords
Music making requires many kinds of habits of mind—broad thinking dispositions potentially useful outside of the music room. Teaching for habits of mind is prevalent in both general and other areas of arts education. This chapter reports a preliminary analysis of the habits of mind that were systematically observed and thematically coded in twenty-four rehearsals of six public high school music ensembles: band, choir, and orchestra. Preliminary results reveal evidence of eight habits of mind being taught: engage and persist, evaluate, express, imagine, listen, notice, participate in community, and set goals and be prepared. However, two habits of mind that the researchers expected to find taught were not observed: appreciate ambiguity and use creativity. These two nonobserved habits are ones that arts advocates and theorists assume are central to arts education. The chapter discusses how authentic assessment of habits of mind in the music classroom may require novel methods, including the development of classroom environments that foster additional levels of student agency.
Keywords: music education, habits of mind, thinking disposition, music ensembles, music assessment
Jillian Hogan is a PhD student in developmental psychology in the Arts & Mind Lab at Boston College. She holds an MM in music education and a BM in clarinet performance from Boston Conservatory and has additional training in Montessori and Orff-Schulwerk approaches. In her research, she uses mixed methods to investigate what we learn through arts education and how those findings align with public perceptions. Her primary interest is the teaching and learning of habits of mind in visual art and music education, which is informed by teaching for six years in schools that specialize in gifted, inclusion, and autism spectrum disorder populations. She is an author of the book Studio Thinking from the Start: The K-8 Art Educator’s Handbook (2018) (www.jillhoganinboston.com).
Ellen Winner is professor and chair of psychology at Boston College and senior research associate at Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education.
