Aesthetic Development in Music: An Experiment in the Use of Personal Construct Theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 December 2008
Extract
This paper examines Kelly's Personal Construct Theory (PCT) as a means of researching the development of the aesthetic response to the perception of music. It takes the techniques of association and construct elicitation derived from PCT as a means of investigating pupil responses, and attempts to shed some light both on the way pupils perceive their peer groups' compositions and on the role of the teacher/researcher in the assessment process.
