Venesile, John Anthony

Abstract Details

1992, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Music Education.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible relationships among personality characteristics, self-esteem, and music teaching behaviors in prospective elementary classroom teachers. Personality characteristics were determined through the administration of the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory. Self-esteem was measured through the use of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. The independent variables were four personality preferences and self-esteem. A total of 20 dependent variables relating to music teaching behaviors were rated by two independent judges who viewed a 10-minute videotape of each subject teaching a music lesson to elementary students. The subjects were 26 elementary education majors enrolled in a required methods course, Music for Elementary Education, at the Western Campus of Cuyahoga Community College in Parma, Ohio. Significant positive correlations were found between judging of the J/P preference scale of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and a number of the dependent variables. Scores on the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory did not correlate significantly with any of the dependent variables.
