Item The Identification of Criteria for the Evaluation of Junior High School Guitar Programs(1983) Bartel, Lee RoyThe problem of this study was to identify, formulate, and validate a set of criteria for the evaluation of junior high guitar programs in the following areas: 1) the rationale for a guitar program; 2) instructional objectives; 3) learning activities and teaching strategies; 4) the evaluation of students; 5) instructional materials, equipment and facilities; 6) class size; 7) time allotment and scheduling; 8) the qualifications of teachers. A proposed set of criteria was identified from a previous study done by the author in which interviews with eleven experts on guitar programs in Manitoba were analyzed for significant statements related to what ought to constitute junior high guitar program in Manitoba. From this proposed set of criteria a questionnaire was created and administered to forty teachers of junior high guitar classes in Manitoba. Teachers were asked to rate the importance of each criterion to a quality guitar program. Responses were received from 32 teachers for a response rate of 80%. The responses were analyzed by assigning a numerical value of 1 to the statements rated "very important," and 4 to the statements rated "of no importance." From this analysis a rating index figure was assigned to each criterion with 2.5 - 1.0 being considered a positive value. Ninety-seven statements were included in the final list of criteria considered valid for the evaluation of guitar programs in Manitoba. The implications of this study include an application of the set of criteria to an actual evaluation of junior high guitar programs. This could bring greater uniformity or standardization to guitar programs in Manitoba. This study also gathered data relating to the status of guitar programs in Manitoba including the number of students in guitar programs, time allotted to programs, the age of programs, and the experience and qualifications of teachers.Item A Study of the Cognitive-Affective Response to Music(1988) Bartel, Lee RoyThis thesis addresses the philosophical emotional-intellectual dichotomy by attempting to determine the extent to which the cognitive-affective response to music in college students is related to personality traits, preparatory set, and musical style. The researcher created the Cognitive-Affective Response Test--Music (CART-M) on the basis of Meyer (1956), Kivy (1980), Osgood et a1. (1957), and Perlmutter and Perkins (1982), and refined it in three pilot studies. The reliability and validity of the CART-M is described on the basis of three pilot studies and six replications in the main study. The CART-M consists of 9 semantic differential scales loading on a cognitive (structural-textural) dimension and 9 scales loading on an affective (emotional-inspirational) dimension. Responses on each dimension were scaled 3210123 and summed to produce a response score. Musical stimuli were exemplars in three styles: classical (6), jazz (6), country (6). To quantify subjects' self-perception of ability, attitude to music, and beliefs about music, the researcher created the Preparatory Set Profile (PSP). The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) obtained a measure of personality traits. The CART-M, PSP, and MBTI were administered to 146 college undergraduates in Manitoba, Canada. Correlational analysis studied the relationship between response to three styles of music, attitude to music, ability, beliefs about music, and four personality traits: extraversion-introversion, thinking-feeling, sensing-intuition, judging-perceiving. Results showed that the higher the musical ability the more cognitive the response to music; the more "judging" the personality the more cognitive the response; of the three styles response to classical music is most cognitive and jazz is most affective. Factorial ANOVA's were constructed on the basis of PSP and MBTI scores with CART-M scores in the cells. Results revealed that subgroups based on ability, on attitude, and on personality traits differed in response. Cluster analysis identified two subgroups of the sample differing on response to music, ability, attitude, expectation, and personality. The study found evidence to support the theories of musical experience of Meyer and Kivy. The dimensions underlying the CART-M corroborated findings by Crozier (1974), Hargreaves and Colman (198l), Hare (1975), and Miller (1979).
