Self-assessment of social competencies and self-study competencies in music education and primary school teacher education students
Abstract
The research study follows the review study Professional Competencies of Teacher (Jiřičková & Selčanová, 2022). It deals with the research of self-assessment of social competencies and self-study competencies of music education and primary school teacher students at the Department of Music Education, Faculty of Education, Charles University, realized in March and April 2021.
The student's view of the sub-components of these competencies was investigated for both areas of competencies. Social and self-study competencies are different in their concept; however, they contain aspects of knowledge, abilities, and skills.
From the research findings, it follows that during the course of the study, there are qualitative changes in sub-competencies related to the length of study or the study program, which is more or less focused on music education. At the same time, the research indicated connections between social competencies and self-study competencies.
The conclusions encourage further evaluation of the resulting findings, based on which it will be possible to establish solutions that will lead to the further development of the mentioned partial proposals of professional competencies and the desired improvement of the undergraduate training of future music teachers.
