  In Roundtable Session: Pedagogical Best Practices: Faculty Development and Student Learning (Table 4)

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the pedagogical practices, institutional expectations, and curricular development in the postsecondary music education field as well as the theoretical frameworks and methodological design guiding the inquiry. A literature search resulted in a sample of 14 studies from across eight countries and conducted between 2010 and 2020. Patterns in the findings across studies were found regarding (a) critical pedagogical practices (b) responsive pedagogical practices (c) student experiential and institutional value mis/matches, and the (d) affordances of music education curricular revision. This synthesis of results reveals synergy in the direction and research objectives of the music performance and teaching and learning fields, often separated, but mutually benefited when bridged together within an intersecting space.
