Music & Dance Education

In elementary music and dance education and other music education subjects, in addition to individual musical and movement-related possibilities, communicative and relationship-orientated skills play a key role in the design of artistic-pedagogical teaching-learning processes. A precise assessment of the ability and quality of relationships and the subsequent reflection on the teaching situation, which is made possible by the ‘EBQ-P instrument’ observation and assessment procedure presented here, can support an adequate adaptation of the teacher's actions to the needs of the learners.

By knowing the currently existing relationship mode and the ‘pedagogical relationship quality’ to be adapted to it, the teacher can organise their tasks and offers in such a way that the learner in focus can make the best possible use of these offers for themselves, participate in the activities and also give and receive, participate in or even give part of the activities.

Volume 1 explains the theoretical foundations from which the EBQ-P instrument was developed and adapted and presents the observation procedure in its entirety so that it can be used directly in practice. In addition, the application possibilities and further development variants are shown.
