    • Abstract:
      Many music researchers have studied School-University Partnerships with most investigations demonstrating how universities and colleges involve schools to support music teaching candidates. However, there is not clear evidence about how preservice music teachers, those that are aspiring music teachers, view their own pedagogical development as a participant in secondary school partnership. Using secondary analysis, we examined the descriptions of preservice music teachers' experiences participating in a music education school-university partnership in direct relation to the literature on Pedagogical Content Knowing/Knowledge. Findings are presented within the domains of Cochran et al.'s (1993) pedagogical content knowledge model of preservice teacher development including: (a) pedagogy, (b) subject matter content (c) student characteristics, and (d) environmental context. This secondary analysis revealed opportunities and obstacles within most of the domains, the exception being environmental context. By knowing more about how preservice music teachers describe their pedagogical development within the previously described framework, this new knowledge will likely inform how structuring future music education school-university partnerships may contribute to reciprocity among stakeholders as well as challenge assumptions that university faculty are the sole creators and holders of pedagogical expertise.
