In Work package 1, Study 1, researcher Eyolf Nysæther has conducted a questionnaire survey distributed to all students in Norway undertaking a music education program in the 5-year general teacher education.
The aim is to map their background, motivation, attitudes, values and aspirations for professional life.
The response rate is high and the data gives interesting insights and information about the respondents and their thoughts concerning music education in general and their future as music teachers.
The next step will be to analyze the survey data and develop a publication based on the findings. The survey will later be followed by a qualitative part with in-depth interviews to explore some of the issues that have emerged.
