Abstract

Abstract This instrumental case study was designed to elicit a nuanced view of perspectives and approaches to citizenship education in one context of music teaching and learning. I chose an El Sistema-inspired youth orchestra program as an instrumental case of citizenship education given the program's explicit mission: to educate students as citizens through intensive ensemble-based music instruction. Throughout one academic year, I conducted observations of the program's routine activities and engaged with five participants in interviews and processes of member reflection. Through these interviews, one program director, two instructors, and two student participants illuminated the phenomenon of citizenship education within the case. I chose a theoretical framework encompassing Nussbaum's (1998, 2000) world citizenship, as well as categories of legalism and communitarianism, to analyze perspectives and program practices relevant to citizenship education. Primary themes related to participants’ perspectives on citizenship education included expectations for individual development via musical and intrapersonal skills. Additionally, program participants discussed possible instruments of wider social and community change through long-term program outcomes. Based on this analysis, I suggest that organizations intent on citizenship education more closely examine whether classical techniques and curricula inspired by El Sistema best fulfill their missions or if the needs of their communities transcend these traditions.
以音乐教育教导公民:以社区青年管弦乐团项目为例
这个器乐案例研究旨在引出在音乐教学和学习的一个背景下公民教育的观点和方法的细致入微的观点。我选择了一个受El sistema启发的青年管弦乐团项目作为公民教育的一个重要案例,因为该项目的明确使命是:通过密集的合奏音乐教学,把学生培养成公民。在一个学年里,我对项目的日常活动进行了观察,并与五位参与者进行了访谈和成员反思的过程。通过这些访谈,一名项目主管、两名教师和两名学生参与者阐明了案例中的公民教育现象。我选择了一个包含Nussbaum(1998,2000)世界公民的理论框架,以及法家主义和社群主义的类别,来分析与公民教育相关的观点和项目实践。与参与者对公民教育的看法相关的主要主题包括通过音乐和人际交往技能实现个人发展的期望。此外,项目参与者还讨论了通过长期项目成果实现更广泛的社会和社区变革的可能手段。基于这一分析,我建议致力于公民教育的组织更仔细地检查,受El Sistema启发的经典技术和课程是否最好地履行了他们的使命,或者他们社区的需求是否超越了这些传统。
