Today, improving instructional technologies have increased at a significant pace particularly with the introduction of computers in education. Computers have contributed greatly to every field of education. Computers have supported the preparation of powerful audio-visual materials with multiple-media features and have also empowered the education sector with the software options intended for different fields. Consequently; computer-assisted education (CAE) has come into its own.As the use of computers has become widespread and computers have found an important place in education, attitudes about computer-assisted education have become important, as well. Particularly the empowerment of the attitudes of teacher candidates, as the educators of the future, toward computer-assisted education, is a significant gain for education.Computer literacy lessons provided for in education faculties are significant in that they may help teacher candidates to prepare computer-assisted education materials and to use computers effectively in education process.Finding out whether the attitudes toward computer-assisted education have positive impact on exam anxiety in computer lessons, analysing the factors which determine the attitudes, and understanding the reasons for anxiety will be useful in carrying out new researchers in order to make significant contributions to education processes.This research included 46 teacher candidates studying Computer-Assisted Music Teaching in the Department of Music Teaching Education at Marmara University. The students completed the exam anxiety inventory and CAE attitude scale prior to administration of the computer-assisted music education exam. The results of the research indicated a significant negative relationship between the students’ CAE attitude levels and their anxiety levels. Findings of the scales showed that, CAE attitudes were high and anxiety levels were low. Findings of the study indicated that the computer education they received contributed positively to their computer experiences and their attitudes towards CAE.

Kodaly method, which did not commonly used in Turkey and known less when compared to other music methods, is important and distinctive because of being a system instead of an approach. One of the most important factors creating this difference is Kodaly’s effectiveness on solmization education. This method’s effectiveness on range thinking and perceiving harmonic structure compared to classical solmization education is being supported by findings of varied studies. Kodaly method is a whole in which every need adressed meticulously and stages edited in order to fulfil indicated needs. Kodaly, which based on assumption that every individual’s instrument is her voice, emphasized the importance of active participation in music education, aimed to develop hearing ability and musical literacy, does have an important place in early music education. In music education, it is aimed to train individuals who have musical literacy from childhood to adulthood. Music educators’ and music teacher candidates’ knowledge and adoption of practices such as Kodaly method, integration of these practices with their prior knowledge and own methods, would help next generation to approach music and life more actively and lively. Therefore, aim of this study is to present knowledge about Kodaly method, philosophy and method tools and also present a sample solmization course prepared according to Kodaly systematic.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetÜlkemizde yaygın olarak kullanılmayan ve diğer müzik eğitimi yöntemleriyle kıyaslandığında daha az tanınan Kodaly yöntemi, bir yaklaşım değil, bir sistem olması nedeniyle farklılık ve önem taşır. Bu farklılığı yaratan en önemli unsurlardan biri, solfej eğitimi konusunda etkili olmasıdır. Yöntemin, aralık düşünme ve armonik yapıyı algılamada, klasik solfej eğitimine göre daha etkili olduğu çeşitli araştırma bulgularıyla da desteklenmiştir. Kodaly yöntemi, müzik öğrenimi yolunda her gereksinimin titizlikle belirlendiği ve bu gereksinimlere yanıt vermek üzere her aşamanın özenle kurgulandığı bir bütündür. Temel çalgısının her bireyin kendi sesi olduğu görüşü üzerine oturtulan, müzik eğitimine aktif katılımın öneminin her zaman vurgulandığı, işitme becerisinin geliştirilmesi ve müzikal okuryazarlığın artmasının amaçlandığı yöntemde, erken dönem müzik eğitimi önemli bir yer kaplar. Çocukluktan başlayıp yetişkinliğe kadar uzanarak müzikal anlamda okuryazar bireylerin yetiştirilmesi hedeflenir. Müzik eğitimcileri ve müzik öğretmeni adaylarının Kodaly yöntemi gibi uygulamaları tanıyarak ve benimseyerek kendi yöntemleri ve var olan bilgileriyle harmanlamaları, gelecek nesillerin müziğe, dolayısıyla yaşama daha aktif ve sevgi ile yaklaşmalarına yardımcı olabilir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada, Kodaly yöntemi, felsefesi ve yöntem araçları ile ilgili bilgilere yer verilmiş, solfej eğitimine katkıda bulunmak amacıyla Kodaly sistematiği gözetilerek örnek bir solfej dersi sunulmuştur.

Today’s rapid evolution in information and communication technologies affects all sectors, including education, and has a positive impact. As a result, teachers need to use technology effectively and keep up with innovation to meet the needs of the next generation. The college music educational system was always an important part of higher education in China, and the corresponding music curriculum system has gradually been established. This curriculum system has been instrumental in the systematization and standardization of China’s music industry, and it has produced a large number of outstanding musical talents for the country. The goal of this research is to discover advanced and dependable teaching methods. With the growing popularity of mobile intelligent terminal devices and the expanding application of the Android platform, using a mobile intelligent terminal for university courses’ learning has become a more powerful technical feature. Through the development of an intelligent learning application using the Android intelligent platform, students can practice exercises and evaluate themselves, allowing them to analyze their weak points based on their evaluation value, whether in class or after class, and then facilitate their learning. In this paper, I present my original perspectives and proposals on music education in colleges and universities, based on literature, analysis, and study, as well as my years of practical experience. To assure stability of the suggested framework, scalability, and sustainability, I have used the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture. This framework is based on the mobile client of Android that teaches and queries college music remotely and controls smart music. According to the experimental data, online music teaching has a greater learning effect on music skills and enhances traditional music performance by 25%. In terms of increasing interest in musical courses, this online college teaching information platform has the ability to raise 74% of students’ awareness.

The Voice

This chapter asks an important, yet seemingly illusive, question: In what ways does the internet provide (or not) activist—or, for present purposes “artivist”—opportunities and engagements for musicing, music sharing, and music teaching and learning? According to Asante (2008), an “artivist (artist + activist) uses her artistic talents to fight and struggle against injustice and oppression—by any medium necessary. The artivist merges commitment to freedom and justice with the pen, the lens, the brush, the voice, the body, and the imagination. The artivist knows that to make an observation is to have an obligation” (p. 6). Given this view, can (and should) social media be a means to achieve artivism through online musicing and music sharing, and, therefore, music teaching and learning? Taking a feminist perspective, this chapter interrogates the nature of cyber musical artivism as a potential means to a necessary end: positive transformation. In what ways can social media be a conduit (or hindrance) for cyber musical artivism? What might musicing and music sharing gain (or lose) from engaging with online artivist practices? In addition to a philosophical investigation, this chapter will examine select case studies of online artivist music making and music sharing communities with the above concerns in mind, specifically as they relate to music education.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between leisure management and test anxiety levels of university students and their differentiation status in terms of some demographic variables. Methods: The relational survey model was used in the study, and there were 284 (147 male and 137 female) university students selected from the universe by convenient sampling method. Personal information form prepared by the researchers, “Leisure Management Scale (LMS)” and “Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI)” were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, t-Test and Pearson Correlation analyzes were used by using SPSS 26.0 program. Results: There was no significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the leisure management scale and the total score averages according to the gender variable, while a significant difference was found in the TAI "delusional", "affective" sub-dimensions and total score averages. According to the family income variable of university students, a low-level and negative significant relationship was found in the "leisure attitude" sub-dimension of LMS, and in the total TAI and "delusional sub-dimension". A significant relationship was found between the age variable and the "goal setting and method" sub-dimension of LMS. A low and negative significant relationship was found between leisure and "goal setting and method", "leisure attitude" and total LMS score averages. In addition, while there was no significant relationship between LMS and TAI, it was found that there was a low and negative significant relationship between the "leisure attitude" sub-dimension and the test anxiety inventory and its sub-dimensions. Conclusion: It can be said that as the level of attitude towards leisure activities of university students’ increases, the feeling of exam anxiety may decrease, and the increase in free time will adversely affect the level of leisure management and attitude. Keywords: University students, Leisure management, Exam anxiety level. *It was presented as an oral presentation at the 5th Academic Sports Research Congress
