SELF-STUDY AS REFLECTIVE PRACTICE
SELF-STUDY AS REFLECTIVE PRACTICE

Summary/Abstract: The purpose and main inquiry question of my self-study is to examine how culturally responsive and critical I am as a History of Rock-n-Roll teacher in a university classroom. I triangulated my data by comparing and contrasting my past assignments and course syllabi with classroom artifacts such as music videos, documentaries, and literature used in the class. Furthermore, I analyzed final course evaluations and written comments from my students as well as used memory work. I learned much through dialogue with three “critical friends” from the university. Overall, I found that I was not teaching my class in a critical way which opened space for me to reframe my future music courses with a more critical and culturally responsive lens.
