| Summary: | The process of researching and identifying musical competencies is usually
carried out in two ways. First is a survey of self-reported, declared musical competencies. The second is a practical test of actual musical competencies. The present study combines these two methods and attempts to complement and explore the field concerning the problem of the declared and actual musical competencies of future kindergarten and primary school teachers. Method: The study involved 91 female students of preschool and early childhood education at one of the Polish universities. The original diagnostic instrument was used to assess the declared musical competencies of the students. The researchers also constructed a practical test to assess actual musical competencies. Results: The findings confirmed the existence of a positive relationship between the actual level of musical competencies of future teachers and the level of their self-assessed musical competencies. The results showed that 55% of the future teachers rated themselves inadequately. These results suggest that practical tests of musical competencies are more accurate and reliable than their self-assessment. These results also indicate a need for additional training to support the development of teachers’ declared musical competencies. |
