Assessment methods and criteria

Two teachers assess the teaching demonstrations verbally and grading passed/failed.

The teaching demonstration differs from the normal teaching situation. It is a work-life oriented demonstration that simulates the teaching demonstration of competen for a job at a music school. The duration of the teaching sample is 30 minutes, and there is an audience (board, possibly other students). The teaching demonstrations can be given also as video recording.

The teaching demonstration should be designed as a versatile lesson that includes teaching of two different works. Teaching should be in a high level artistically, technically, and theoretically. It may also include other elements of teaching skills, not only playing or singing, but warming-up, technical exercises, music basics, games, having musical fun, etc. In the teaching demonstration, the teacher student presents pedagogical skills and capabilities to the board as comprehensively and structured as possible with his own personal grasp. The educational situation should be interactive and stimulating in the atmosphere.

A sample teaching demonstration help to learn how to act in the real reviewed teaching demonstration. The assignment and conditions are the same as in a reviewed teaching demonstration.

The assessment of pedagogical skills is continuous through the whole studies and contain peer-assessment, formative assessment and self-reflection.
