Decision making as THE basic teaching skill (Shavelson 1973)
Teachers constantly making decisions, choices
Nature of decisions varies according to stages of teaching
Planning (Pre)
Instruction (During)
Evalouation (Post)
Challenge for inexperienced teachers occurs during instruction, “in-flight”
Not only pressure to”produce”
Also, information processing overload, sensory stimulation
Choral directors processing musical information, assessing problems,    monitoring behavior, engaging physical activity (conducting, piano)
Hypothesized interactive multimedia format might be effective tool
present information (video, audio, and textual ), training, guided practice, and
feedback
Multimedia format
Close approximation of real life experience (audio, visual)
User control of time and sequencing (can slow down, review audio/video, get hints)
Task analysis approach reinforces acquisition of routine
Guided practice provides feedback, allows user to reconsider choices
Supports reflective component of teacher training
Once you acquire the skills to effectively employ the problem solving routine, then you will be able to identify your self as a Professional Choral Trainer.
1.Effectively and efficiently employ the decision-making process to complex situations.
2.Isolate and identify common issues and problem in real choral rehearsals.
3.Analyze musical problems in a specific context and prescribe alternative solutions.
4.Recognize the possibility of multiple solutions and implement solutions in the context of each situation.
5.Reflect on decision making strategies to identify alternative solutions for future problems.
Identified need for guide, heuristic to develop problem-solving skills
Adapted sequence of steps from Brinson’s textbook
Once students trained in routine, apply to variety of musical problems
