Songwriting for nature: increasing nature connection and well-being through musical creativity

Abstract

We conducted two field studies to examine whether songwriting retreats held in a natural setting would increase nature connectedness, as well as improve emotional well-being and performance on a creative reasoning task. In the first study, high school students took part in songwriting instruction either in their school or at a national wildlife conservation area. Results showed that the natural setting uniquely increased nature connection, while both settings improved mood and creative reasoning performance. In the second study, we observed similar effects for adults who attended songwriting retreats at the same conservation area and compared this to results from a science-based workshop in another remote natural area to assess whether nature connection effects were entirely attributable to nature contact. The findings of these studies imply that both musical creativity and outdoor education experiences improve well-being, while outdoor education also increases nature connectedness, and songwriting also increases creative reasoning.     

少数民族地区高校音乐教育与传统音乐资源

当今世界的音乐教育及化趋势的多样性显得极其重要,而世界范围内的多元化的兴起使当代音乐教育的重点回归到本土化上。传统音乐资源是现代音乐教育立足发展的根基,音乐教育是传统音乐化在新的环境中生存传承的途径。传统音乐资源是多元化教育的一个主要组成部分,应成为高校音乐教育的核心内容。     

以和为体——嵇康《声无哀乐论》中的音乐本体论

嵇康认为音声源于天地自然,有其自身不变的体性,这种体性体现在音乐上就是音乐以平和为体,与人的哀乐情感无关。平和的人心显现于外产生平和的音乐,平和的音乐感发宣导人心,二者相得益彰才能既有利于音乐艺术的发展,又能使音乐起到影响人心的作用。因此,嵇康以和为体的音乐美学,就是要深入探讨音乐自身的内在规律性与艺术性,为其崇尚的无为政治作论证。但实际上,《声无哀乐论》的政治目的从未实现过,而其在音乐学及美学上对后世的影响才是更重要的。     

校本音乐课程资源研究

2010年教育部对我国的基础教育课程进行改革,初步构建了符合时代要求、具有中国特色的基础教育课程体系。在确立的六项改革目标中,提出要改变课程过于集中的状况,实行国家、地方、学校三级课程管理,以便使课程更好地服务于学生。其中学校课程即为校本课程。探索开发校本音乐课程的资源及其应用对音乐课堂有重要的实用价值。     

音乐教育从教者的专业性和商业性

专业性应同商业性共同发展,才能普及与推广更高质量的音乐教育,两者合理的平衡才是关键.

Fostering connectedness to nature in higher education

Environmental thinkers and educators have argued for the importance of celebrating our connectedness to nature, or the perception of being part of, rather than separate from, the natural world. Using pre-and post-test measurements of Nature Relatedness and supplemental interviews, this study addresses the question of whether a particular introductory college-level ecology course can increase learners’ connectedness to nature, both independently and in comparison to a similar course. The results show that the course significantly increased participants’ connectedness, particularly their identification with nature and nature-focused worldview. Other environmental courses studied demonstrated no such changes, suggesting that environmental education does not automatically lead to connectedness. However, if woven into the goals and approach of teaching, connectedness to nature can indeed be fostered in higher education. This is a promising result for educators and others working towards a sustainable future.

素质教育视野下的音乐功能窥探——非音乐学科教学中的音乐辅助运用

在素质教育中,运用人对音乐的天然感知力,培养学生的自主学习习惯,引导学生自发地积极思维,培养学生的独立个性。通过音乐对学生潜移默化的作用,达到品质、道德、美学、创新等思想在素质教育中的渗透。     

Evaluating the effects of environmental education programming on connectedness to nature

With a growing movement to re-connect children to nature, an understanding of the ability of environmental education (EE) programs to foster connectedness to nature is needed. The purpose of this exploratory quantitative study is to determine the effect of seven EE programs on participants' connectedness to nature. Results from the 385 children who participated in this study suggest two of the programs may be associated with a significant increase in connectedness to nature; however, due to the limitations of the study and a potential ‘ceiling effect’ of high initial levels of connectedness, further research is needed.     

论高等教育学的学科性质

在不同视角下,高等教育学的学科性质是不同的。高等教育学从学科分类视角看,是综合学科,而非单学科或者交叉学科;从学科群视角看,是基础理论学科,研究的是高等教育一般规律;从创建发展视角看,是应用学科,需要走应用性道路;从学科特点视角看,是开放性较强的现代学科,而非封闭的传统学科。高等教育研究者应用"复杂性认识论"来统合对该学科性质的多元认识。     

至乐自然——论《庄子》的音乐美学思想

《庄子》的音乐美学思想应概括为“至乐自然”。“至乐自然”是《庄子》评判音乐美的标准。美好的音乐有籁乐、至乐、天乐;不好的音乐有失性之乐、屈礼之乐、不适之乐。“至乐自然”反映了《庄子》对音乐本源的认识,音乐是“道、心、物”三位一体的产物。“至乐自然”规定了音乐“和”的功能。“至乐自然”肯定“有声”、“人为”之乐。“至乐自然”揭示了音乐审美的心理活动历程。庄子是道家音乐的伟大旗手。     

西方自然主义教育思想研究综述

对西方自然主义教育思想的研究集中在天性、自然、自然教育、自然适应性原则、教育与儿童等核心问题上.自然主义教育家认为,儿童的天性源于自然,有其发展的自然规律;天性是教育的前提,教育要适应自然规律、遵从儿童的天性;儿童具有发展的主动性,在教育活动中居于中心地位.自然主义教育思想对当代教育改革依然具有启迪意义和指导价值.国内近十年的相关研究呈现"三多三少"的特点.     

Changes in experiences with nature through the lives of environmentally committed university faculty

Previous work has identified time spent in nature as a child as a precursor to active care for the natural world (i.e. environmental commitment), but a paucity of data exists on what happens to environmentally committed people’s relationship to nature over time, including the time spent in nature and the quality of that experience. In addition, previous work has not more finely categorized these nature experiences, with the exception of natural history-oriented professionals. I address these gaps by conducting in-depth interviews with 12 faculty in the environment at Duke University regarding relationships with nature throughout their life. The interviews reveal that the amount of time spent in nature, and the quality of that experience, changed for this cohort over time. Moreover, these interviews revealed nuanced aspects of relationships with nature that changed with life stage, complementing that work which was conducted on natural history-oriented professionals. This work suggests that more research is needed on the changing relationship with nature among adults and environmental educators.     

Environmental literacy and nature experience in Chengdu,China

Abstract

This research investigated environmental literacy and nature experience among 1433 children and adults in Chengdu, China. Utilizing a standard measure of environmental literacy modified to be culture- and age-appropriate, we found almost universal agreement that nature should be protected. Although our results showed that older groups were less likely to enjoy experiences in nature compared to the younger ones, this was not reflected in a reduced appreciation for nature, which was high in all age groups. Within each category of student, age was associated with increased knowledge but decreased enjoyment of nature experiences and environmental concern. In contrast, among the adult residents, increasing age was associated with less objective knowledge but with more liking and concern about nature. Based on these results, we provide recommendations for environmental education that incorporates time in nature in order to foster environmental concern and behavior as well as knowledge.     

论人与自然关系的伦理之维

自从有人类以来,自然不再是纯粹的自然——凡是在人迹所至之处,自然均或多或少地打上了人的印记,这样自然就成为“历史的自然”,成为“人的无机的身体”和生存环境。随着科学技术的迅猛发展,人与自然伦理关系的传统和谐状况遭到严峻的挑战,环境伦理问题、资源伦理问题日益凸显。为了解决这些问题,人必须在人与自然关系的一定的伦理理念与伦理规范的统摄下,以恰当的方式开发和利用自然,同时又能适应自然、欣赏自然、爱护自然、保护自然,进而促进人-自然(环境)-社会系统协同发展。

Role of Significant Life Experiences in Building Environmental Knowledge and Behavior Among Middle School Students

Significant life experience research suggests that the presence of role models, time outdoors, and nature-related media foster pro-environmental behavior, but most research is qualitative. Based on a random sample of middle school students in North Carolina, USA, we found limited positive associations between presence of a role model and time outdoors with behavior and a negative association between watching nature television and environmental knowledge. The strongest predictors of environmental knowledge and behavior were student/teacher ratio and county income levels, respectively. We also found that Native Americans engaged in environmental behaviors more than Caucasians, and that African American and Hispanic students had lower levels of environmental knowledge. Accordingly, life experiences appear less important than promoting small class sizes and addressing challenges associated with lower incomes in schools.
