Music education. Historical contexts and perspectives

Abstract

All forms of expository teaching are directed by the teacher and involve directly providing the information to the students. The master class, the form par excellence of expository teaching, is used at many levels of schooling. They are effective in addressing verbal information such as facts, terms, descriptions, definitions and principles to a large group. They are usually unidirectional presentation modes, with information flowing from the teacher to the students and provide few opportunities for teachers to interact with students or between students. You can use designs, study guides, worksheets, summaries and question answer periods to generate some activity and involvement in the student, but this form of teaching is insufficient to address most learning situations because Is more focused on what the teacher does to teach than what the students should learn.
