Learning Processes
The following describes different processes students use to learn and how they can be nurtured in the classroom. These represent knowledge on the subject material provided.
The following excerpt is a blog post regarding the differences between types of questions and ways to listen.
1. Open questions are questions that can be answered in tons of different ways. It is really what the term sounds like; students are open to responding however they want and can express students' varying opinions and ideas. Closed questions are the opposite. They are geared toward a specific answer that cause students to focus only on one thing in particular. A guided question is somewhat in between. It initiates a general topic for students to narrow their focus, yet allows for them to still have different opinions within the same spectrum.
2. Analytical questions are questions that allow the students to really tear apart a piece of music and "analyze" is, for lack of a better term. The students can find imagery and expression through these questions and really engage in a deeper thought of music. Judicial questions are more geared toward finding a subjective answer that shows how students feel about the music and knowledge they have about it. Creative questions relate a lot to open questions, in the sense that students can really individually express themselves and share how what they already know can relate to what is currently being taught.
3. Attentive listening is directed by the instructor and causes the students to think about specific things in the music that he or she wants them to pay attention too. Engaged listening is what it sounds like. It involves students to participate musically while still listening to what is being presented to them. Enactive listening has the ultimate goal of using all of the analysis to eventually play and perform music.
