La investigación en educación musical dentro de las ciencias sociales. Reflexiones desde el Reino Unido.
Abstract
This article considers the foundations and role of research in music education and positions them within the Social Sciences. Taking a global perspective facilitated by the author’s work in three jurisdictions and his collaborations with colleagues from the five continents (e.g. Odena & Figueiredo, 2014), practical suggestions for researchers and research supervisors are provided. The article is divided into six sections focussed on: (1) defining social research; (2) positioning music education research within the Social Sciences; (3) an overview of music education research developments and approaches over the last sixty years; (4) factors affecting research dissemination, including language, intellectual trends and local contexts; (5) the apparent gap between educational research and practice, and the role of research tutors in developing students’ research ethics and skills; and (6) some final suggestions for designing and implementing enquiry projects. á dividido en seis secciones que versan sobre los siguientes temas: (1) una definición de investigación en ciencias sociales; (2) la investigación en educación musical dentro de la investigación educativa; (3) la consolidación y diversidad de tradiciones metodológicas; (4) los factores que afectan a la difusión de la investigación educativa, incluyendo el idioma, las modas y las circunstancias locales; (5) la aparente discontinuidad entre investigación y práctica educativa, y la responsabilidad doble de los tutores de proyectos de educar en ética además de técnicas de investigación; y (6) algunos consejos finales para el desarrollo de proyectos de investigación.Downloads
