Thesis Title & Description
Under different education systems, the comparative study of music teacher preparation in China and the UK since the 21st century
- Supervisor: Peter Dale
In the 21st century, trends toward global integration, cultural diversification, and multicultural education have brought new requirements for primary and secondary school music education in China (Ministry of Education of the PRC, 2001). Accordingly, further requirements are placed on music teachers. However, it seems that the current music teacher preparation in China cannot meet those requirements for music teachers so far (Wu & Jin, 2002). At the same time, music teacher preparation in the UK seems suitable to meet some of the new requirements to some extent, although the UK system also has its own problems (Devaney & Nenadic, 2019). Thus, with the intent of investigating how music teacher preparation systems in these two countries can learn from each other in the future, my research project makes a series of comparative studies based on the preparation of music teachers in China and the UK.
