Collaborative learning and children's musical composition

Applicants are invited for a Leicester University funded
research studentship in the Department of Psychology. All
children are now required to compose music in the National
Curriculum, and collaborative work between pupils is an
important part of this. Very few of the growing number of
studies on social interaction and learning have dealt with
creative activities, and the present project will be one
of the first to do so. The research will investigate how
collaborative work affects the nature and quality of musical
composition with respect to developmental progression and
learning over time, and quality of group interaction.

Candidates should possess or be about to possess a good
degree in psychology, and should have interests in
developmental psychology. Experience in working with schools
and/or some expertise in music would be an advantage.
Students will receive a maintenance allowance of not less
than #4,910 pa and university fees will be waived.
Applicants must be UK or European Community nationals.

designed to teach the principles of informatics, as well as,
foster research in the applications of informatics in
Psychiatry. The fellowship offers during it's first year

  Library of Psychopathology (DLOPP), as well as studying
  the different ramifications of such a library including
  the creation of standards, forming educational
  materials,  legal and ethical implications;
- Networks and communication: We are involved in exploring
  and expanding how psychiatric information can be safely
  communicated across local computer networks as well as
  networks, such as the Internet;
- Telemedicine: We are facilitating the creation of the
  UMMC Telemedicine Network for the University of Michigan
  Medical School and Medical Center;
- Organization and System Implications of Information

  information technology will have throughout psychiatry
  in all relevant areas including clinical care,
  education, research, and administration and policy making.
