Rathgeber, J., Hoye, J., McNure, C. J., & Stringham, D. A. (2019). Imagining possible futures/impacting professional visions: A reflective case study of a community-centric, ukulele-based participatory musicking project. Qualitative Research in Music Education, 1(1), 5-28.
Abstract: The purpose of this reflective case study was to analyze preservice music educators' reflections on meanings of facilitating JMUke, a curricular, community-centric, participatory-based, community ukulele project, and interpret how these experiences may have impacted their professional visions. We-one undergraduate music education student, one graduate music education student, and two music teacher educators-analyzed data from 38 preservice music educators, including coursework and reflective dialogues among participants. Analysis revealed themes related to: (a) preparation and adaptation, (b) motivation and fun, and (c) expanding praxis. Drawing on Hammerness's (2003, 2006, 2015) conception of professional vision, we interpreted impacts of participation in JMUke on preservice music educators' professional visions and offer implications for music teacher educators.
