Abstract

In January 1982 a research project on the assessment of music was set up in Dundee College of Education. The remit of the Project is to investigate new ways of assessing the teaching of music as a practical subject within the 14–16 age range.

Action research was placed under the direction of Mrs Marion Cameron de Quincey, Senior Lecturer in Educational Psychology. Dr Ian Macdougall a member of staff in the Music Department of Wester Hailes Education Centre, a six-year comprehensive school in Edinburgh, was invited and appointed to carry out the necessary fieldwork.

The Project, originally scheduled to end in late 1984, is – as a result of interest already created – likely to be extended for a further two years.
