Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures will address topics in turn to build a cumulative knowledge and skill set regarding music psychology. In the first four weeks, students will intensively study a total of eight topics and will be encouraged to participate in class discussions which will encourage and empower them to explore and reflect upon their musical experience from a psychological perspective (LO1), as well as to engage with opposing views on music and experience both from their peers and from the literature they have studied (LO2). Discussion of the scientific method and around experimental protocols will give students the ability to gather data (LO3) and make conclusions on the basis of that data (LO4).Seminars explicitly focusing on the assessed content of the module will bring lecture content into focus in the context of the individual student and support them to become an effective independent researcher.
|
Before each assessment seminar (weeks 6-7; 11-12), the student will prepare a short (2 minute) presentation of their proposed topic. Feedback on this both from the lecturer and from peers will directly inform the student's work on their assessments.There will be a formative submission (week 9) where the student will propose a topic for investigation through primary research. This proposal will include a short literature review, a rationale for this topic, proposed methods and experimental design, and any hypotheses that they have. Feedback from this will directly inform the student's work on their final experimental protocol submission.
|
A report, submitted in week 11, that investigates a case study of music censorship and evaluates the rationale for and the strategies adopted to enforce this censorship will directly demonstrate the student's ability to assess how music can influence people in every day life, and in some cases cause harm (LO2), and to weigh up evidence and draw conclusions on this basis (LO4).A reflective essay submitted in week 13 will use one of the topics of the lectures as a starting point in order to demonstrate their research on the topic (LO2), and their critical reaction to their own empirical experience (LO1).Finally, a write-up of an experimental protocol devised by the student to investigate a topic of their choosing will be submitted in week 15. This will demonstrate their ability to evaluate methods and select one appropriate for the data they are aiming to gather (LO3), as well as to discuss and draw conclusions from this data in order to enhance their understanding of the topic that they have chosen to explore (LO4).
