A History of Early Field Experience in the Music Education Division of the School of Music of the University of Illinois at Urbana -Champaign, 1968--1998

The purpose of this study is to document a history of the development and practice of early field experience (EFE) in the Music Education Division of the School of Music of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) from 1968 to 1998. The study is organized into six chapters. Chapter 1 serves to introduce the study and explain the research design. Literature related to research on early field experience comprises Chapter 2. Chapter 3, a survey of early field experience in teacher preparation in the United States from 1776 to 1998, provides the historical background for this study. The following chapter presents a history of early field experience in the UIUC Music Education Division for the years 1968--1979, a period of EFE experimentation. In Chapter 5 that history is continued, encompassing the years 1979--1989, a period of EFE stabilization, and 1989--1998, a period of EFE reexamination. The final chapter provides a summary of the history of early field experience in the UIUC Music Education Division as presented in the previous two chapters, a set of five conclusions, a larger context within which to understand the significance of the UIUC Music Education Division EFE story, and suggestions for further research.
