2020
Although there has been a rising interest in the profession of teacher educators, there is still a lack of research looking at the professional learning and development of teacher educators.

Music therapy for improving premature infants' well-being and communication skills and enhancing mother-infant bonding : a case study

This case study aims to examine how music therapy can promote premature infant's well-being and encourage the cre…
