- Effective teaching and optimal experiences: possible linkPublication . Cardoso, FranciscoABSTRACT: Although the link between the occurrence of optimal experiences and successful learning had already been studied in the field of music education, the link between effective teaching and optimal experiences had not yet been systematically studied. For this study, 14 instrumental teachers were interviewed, and the narrative of seven of them (who had reported frequent optimal experiences while teaching) was analysed against Collinson’s model of effective teaching. The narrative of those seven teachers included several references to the three levels of knowledge of Collinson’s model (professional, interpersonal and intrapersonal), showing that a link between effective teaching and optimal experiences may in fact exist.
- Experiencing flow while teaching and learning in individual tuition settingsPublication . Cardoso, FranciscoABSTRACT: The possibility of flow to be experienced while teaching and learning a musical instrument had already been theoretically explored by researchers. However, no studies had yet been conducted to observe it flow experiences really occurred while those activities were being held. The nature of teaching and learning activities is different from the nature of the activities studied by researchers on flow and optimal experiences, which could might raise doubts about the possibility of flow to be experienced by teachers and students. For this exploratory study it were interviewed 14 teachers and 14 students regarding the occurrence of such experiences in instrumental lessons. Results suggest that flow-like experiences actually occur while teaching and learning. Participants descriptions suggest, though, that these experiences may have special features and may not fully fit in the typical description of flow experiences.
