Education

Temple University , 1990, PhD, magna cum laude

Biography

Peter Gouzouasis is a Professor of Music Education in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy at The University of British Columbia. Dr. Gouzouasis is a lifelong learner of music and media, and considers himself a serious student of guitar and other fretted instruments with performance in jazz, North American folk, Celtic, and Greek music contexts.

Over the past 32 years, my work at UBC has evolved through three, connective strands: (1) teaching and learning in music (including digital media and technologies), (2) developing an understanding of learning in and through the Arts and general curriculum using Arts Based Educational Research methods and digital technologies, and (3) a relational-metatheoretical, developmental perspective – Relational Developmental Systems (RDS) – of lifelong learning. These strands, or themes, have shaped my current scholarship as distinctive, innovative, and expanding the methodological and pedagogical boundaries of the field of music education. For me, pedagogy is the art of both teaching and learning, informed by theory and praxis.

1) In 2007, I conducted a landmark, longitudinal study that examines factors in arts participation and academic achievement of British Columbia grade 12 students. The overall objective of this research is to learn about various factors, relationships and differences in academic, social and arts (music, visual art, drama & dance) achievement of all students across BC from 2001-2004. That research uses quantitative methods to analyse large data sets (n=60,000 per year) to determine the predictive relationships and differences – between academic achievement in language, mathematics, social studies and science – of students who achieve highly in and participate in arts programs and those who have no involvement with the arts in secondary school. The most recent population level study by Guhn, Emerson & Gouzouasis (2020) takes all of that work one step further. We find that students involved in extended music engagement (up to grade 12) do one full year better academically than non-music peers, particularly when engaged in instrumental music sustained over years of schooling. Also, music achievement predicts academic achievement in math, science and English (while controlling for gender, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, and prior achievement in numeracy and literacy in Grade 7). See https://summon.altmetric.com/details/62627951#score for details on the impact of this research and a link to a free, Open Access copy of the paper.

More recently, a number of papers that use autoethnography to describe music learning and teaching contexts have been published, are in press, and are in review as well as an exciting new, edited book (in press).  You can access some of my work at Academia.edu (https://ubc.academia.edu/PeterGouzouasis) and Research Gate (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Peter-Gouzouasis).

2) While arts-based educational research has now a 25 year old form of inquiry, work from my masters’ thesis (completed in 1987) enabled me to write papers in this research form as early as 1995. My interest in Marshall McLuhan’s notions of media coincides with five years as the music programming director of what became the most listened to American Public Radio (APR) jazz radio station in North America (JAZZ90/WRTI) in the Department of Radio, Television, & Film at Temple University. That knowledge provided me with practical insights to the inner workings of the radio and records industry that are documented in my publications (1995, 1996, 2000, 2005, 2011). However, one of the problems faced by arts educators is in the dilemma we face in reconciling practice with research. A number of my writings (2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2013) address the struggles of “musician performer as researcher” and provides a rationale for the consideration of artist researchers. Other focuses in arts-based educational research are rooted in the perspectives as the arts as technè, foundational to the content of all forms of new digital media, and historical-sociological issues surrounding the evolution of arts media over the past century (2000, 2001, 2003, 2004). Very few music educators are involved in arts-based educational research, but Peter guest edited a ground breaking issue of the ACT Journal in 2019 to plant the seeds for new research in the profession. Moreover, few research teams have been assembled across the arts to do work in this field. Independent and collaborative projects with colleagues at UBC in the acquisition of grant funding (SSHRC 2004, 2008, 2012, 2013; and UBC-Hampton), international conference presentations, and emerging publications now place UBC at the forefront of research in arts-based educational research.

3)  The early strands of my work is rooted in research with young children and adolescents. I studied various aspects of music aptitude and achievement since graduate work in 1982. Under the tutelage of Edwin Gordon (from 1959-1990 the most published researcher in the field of music education), I emerged as one of the early researchers in North America who helped revive interest in the development of new teaching techniques and research strategies in early childhood music education.

This theme also involves traditional and emerging forms of media. Studies on the use of video conferencing technology in the delivery of music instruction for children were the first such published papers on the topic. They were based on the premise of the lack of interaction and lack of music instruction in passive television viewing habits of young children. That work revealed early insights into the efficacy of new forms of emerging media in the delivery of music instruction in distance education contexts.

The examination of multimedia constructions of children was fueled by my expertise in computer literacy through arts applications. Considering the mechanistic mainstream of “technology education,” it is a unique approach that acknowledges the contributions of artists and the arts in the development of hardware and content in all forms of traditional and contemporary media. My expertise was recognized internationally by leading software developers (e.g., Macromedia), universities in North America and Australia, practitioners, and small corporations. That early work prepared me to develop the first on-line interactive teaching materials using WebCT (“The Interactive Guitar”) as well as take a leading role in The University of British Columbia’s teacher education program through the formation of the Fine Arts and Media in Education (FAME) cohort. FAME was the first group of pre-service teachers in North America to work in a ubiquitous, 24/7 learning and teaching environment with wireless laptops in both university and public school classroom settings (2001, 2004 papers). It led to my involvement as a principal collaborator in a nation-wide SSHRC-INE grant to support that research program and the publication of leading edge research (2001 through 2006). One of the most fascinating aspects of this work is that my collaboration with North Vancouver School District 44 led me to develop one of the most progressive school plans in rich media applications in education in Canada.

What I do

In Fall 2022, I am teaching autoethnography (EDCP 508b) and elementary music methods (EDCP 308), working on more research including a follow up population-level analysis of associations between school arts participation (drama, music, visual arts) and academic achievement, and a paper on teaching autoethnography to school teachers through creative non-fiction. I’m also completing a book, The Routledge companion of music, autoethnography, and reflexivity (noted below).
