Characterizing Objective Observations in Music Therapy: A Study of Student Practicum Logs

Abstract

Students can have difficulty learning to make and document objective observations of music therapy sessions. With the intention of supporting undergraduate students to learn this skill, 130 student practicum logs were qualitatively analyzed to identify concepts involved in the process of doing so. Results revealed when it is important to observe in music therapy sessions, who and what it is important to observe, and how to describe observations. Application of the results to student learning has the potential to increase the efficacy and efficiency of this teaching/learning process.
