“…Since learning and change are interconnected, the use of African music as the travelling drum gave students the opportunity to reflect and discuss wider social issues than just what they aurally or visually experienced in terms of sound and movement. Williams (1992) aptly describes such a strategy for deeper analysis of and critical reflection upon issues as 'peeling the onion'. As African music was a 'new genre' it served to unlock several perspectives to my Australian students in terms of their understanding of African life, music and culture.…”

This article reports on a study that examined the effectiveness of introducing African music and culture to Australian non-specialist primary teacher education students at Deakin University in Melbourne (Australia). The study demonstrates that African music enhanced the generic musical experiences, learning, motivation, interest, confidence and competence of students in their fourth year of teacher education. The research also addressed the significance and contribution of African music and culture as a cross-cultural experience for these beginning teachers who in turn could provide similar experiences for their own students. This study highlighted the author's role and cultural identity as a South African music educator in transmitting the music and culture represented in 'the travelling drum' to a cohort of students with a predominantly Eurocentric orientation. By extension, this curriculum initiative broadened students' understanding and application of indigenous methods of teaching and learning as part of a global experience. Such a curriculum represents a pathway to many other forms of nonWestern indigenous knowledge of music, culture and pedagogy that can be mapped out as a journey along a multicultural route towards 'internationalising the curriculum'.

“…According to a study by Peng (2010), the results showed that although the students had no prior experience, they had good attitudes and perceptions of the peer feedback activities. Additionally, the research by Williams (1992) found that the majority of students thought peer assessment was engaging and helpful. Salih (2013) discovered that student authors place a high priority on grammar, whereas peer reviewers should place a higher priority on feedback clarity.…”
