Constructivist Perspectives for Developing and Implementing Lesson Plans in General Music

Abstract

Stacy McKenzie is challenged to find new ways to involve students in their learning. She begins this journey by developing a lesson planning framework based on constructivist principles for learning. The perspectives Stacy applies in her program are shared in this article: First, by examining how she crafts a lesson framework that provides opportunities for students to build new understandings from what they already know through active involvement with music; and, second, by exploring how she uses questions to guide and support students’ learning and how her students use questions as a means to assume an active role in their learning. This lesson is part of a larger unit of study using the piece Simple Gifts.
