Abstract

In Nigeria, there is a growing interest in assessing music teacher competence. This is prompted by demand for quality assurance and for greater recognition of the music teaching profession. Various assessment instruments have been developed in the western world to assess music teachers at various stages in their professional careers in the context of selection, certification, and professional development. There is a need for a framework design of this type to assess music teaching and learning in Nigeria. This paper developed three frameworks for assessing music teaching and learning in Nigeria. It discusses advantages of these frameworks when using it to set up interpretive arguments. This design was derived from Bloom’s taxonomy of domains, Dunkin and Biddle’s theory of classroom teaching and learning and Westera’s competency model. It is fashioned for the peculiarity of music to be used as an instrument on which assessor’s judgement will be based for an improved music teachers’ performance. It gives a spread sheet of its application in practice in classroom assessment. It concludes that in developing domain of competence, the assessment content should be relevant and representative for the teaching profession. The paper recommends that music education administrators and supervisors should use these frameworks for assessing music teacher and music teaching programme periodically. It is believed that the framework will serve its purpose for valuable judgements.
