Abstract
-
Band is a highly differentiated subject in its nature and can become easily overwhelming
to students who lack knowledge and skills to participate in activities in class. This can result in difficulty getting students to participate in activities and engage in manners that will make them successful. Cultural paradigms, the most important determinant of behaviors, dictate how a student may think and act in the classroom. Using culturally relevant pedagogy as a framework for understanding student learning patterns, this action research project sought to use culturally relevant strategies to promote higher levels of engagement and participation from all students in the music classroom. The belief is that students will have achieved academic success when engaged because their assets will have been used to connect prior knowledge to new knowledge, enabling them to make decisions and problem solve with little guidance.
This research included an investigation of my lesson plans and instructional strategies in
order to increase participation and engagement in the music classroom. Using reflective
journaling and observation methods, this analysis was compared to student learning patterns represented by behaviors exhibited in class.
