Çünkü müziksel işitme, müzik eğitiminin diğer tüm alanlarında başarıyı etkileyebilecek bir yere sahiptir. Mesleki eğitimlerinde aldıkları birçok derse etki etmesi ve müziksel gelişimlerini doğrudan etkilemesi sebebiyle müzik öğretmeni adaylarının müziksel işitme becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde büyük yer tutan dikte yazma çalışmalarını nasıl değerlendirdiklerinin belirlenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Eğitim bilimleri disiplini çerçevesinde eğitimin çeşitli kademelerinde bireylerin çeşitli kavramlara yönelik algılarının metaforlar aracılığıyla incelendiği çalışmalara rastlanmaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen literatür taramasında müzik eğitimi alanında metaforların veri toplama aracı olarak kullanıldığı araştırmaların sayısının, eğitimin diğer alanlarına göre daha az olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sebeple bu araştırmada müzik öğretmeni adaylarının müziksel dikte yazmaya yönelik algılarının belirlenmesinde metaforlardan faydalanılması uygun görülmüştür. Bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2018-2019 öğretim yılında Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Buca Eğitim Fakültesi Müzik Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı’nda öğrenim gören 93 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri “dikte yazmak  ....… gibidir. Çünkü …… ” şeklinde boşluklar bırakılmış bir form ile toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizinden faydalanılmıştır. Analiz aşamasında 11 veri kapsam dışında bırakılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları 82 müzik öğretmeni adayının dikte yazmaya ilişkin toplam 70 metafor ürettiğini göstermektedir. Müzik öğretmeni adaylarının dikte yazmaya ilişkin ürettikleri metaforlar mutluluk veren (%19,51), dikkat gerektiren (%19,51), çözümleme (%13,41), karışık duygulara yol açan (%9,76), somutlaştırma (%8,54), zorluk (%8,54), emek ve çaba isteyen (%8,54), gelişim sağlayan (%7,32), sıkıntı veren (%4,88) olmak üzere toplam 9 kategoride toplanmıştır.  Öğretmen adaylarının en sık bilmece/bulmaca/bulmaca çözmek (f=12), bilgisayarda strateji oyunu oynamak (f=4) ve matematik problemi çözmek (f=4) metaforlarını kullandıkları görülmektedir.

The aim of this study was to examine the entrepreneurship levels of Pre-Service Music Teachers (Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Education Music Teaching Undergraduate Program students) in terms of gender, grade level and career goals. For this purpose, data were collected from all 1st and 4th year students studying at Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Education, Department of Music Education. The Individual Entrepreneurship Perception Scale (IEPS) and a Personal Information Form were used to collect the data. Mann Whitney U test was used to analyze the data. In line with the findings obtained, it was found that there was no significant difference in terms of IEPS total and subscale scores by gender. However, there were significant differences in favor of 4th year students in terms of locus of control, self-confidence and self-discipline sub-scores, as well as the total IEPS scores by grade level. It was concluded that those aiming for a non-teaching profession got significantly higher locus of control scores than those aiming to become a teacher. Regarding these results, suggestions have been developed to increase the entrepreneurship level of pre-service music teachers.

Given the rapid growth of music technology, this study reports Chinese pre-service music teachers’ perceptions of musical instrument learning assisted by augmented reality (AR). In this study, we conducted a small-scale case study with six pre-service teachers enrolled in a music teacher training programme at a comprehensive university in China. Participants engaged in semi-structured, face-to-face interviews after hands-on experiences with an AR-based piano learning app. Thematic analysis revealed that the participants were generally aware of the potential of this instructional approach but doubted its efficacy and exhibited weak intention to adopt it in their future classrooms. Implications of the findings for music teacher training are discussed.

Guided by three theoretical frameworks in vocational psychology, (i) theory of work adjustment, (ii) two factor theory, and (iii) value discrepancy theory, the purpose of this study was to investigate Turkish pre-service music teachers' values and the role of fit between person and environment in understanding vocational satisfaction. Participants were 85 students enrolled in the department of music education in a Turkish university. The Minnesota Importance Questionnaire (MIQ) was used to examine the participants’ values in six dimensions: achievement, comfort, status, altruism, safety and autonomy. Results revealed that the pre-service teachers value achievement most followed by autonomy, which suggests that they would like to have a sense of accomplishment and control in their future job. The degree to which their values fit their predictions about future work environment was found to be highly correlated with vocational satisfaction. These results provided evidence that the vocational theories used in the current study offers a helpful and different perspective to understand the pre-service teachers' satisfaction with becoming a music teacher in the future. We believe that researchers in the field of music education may use these theories and MIQ to examine the role of values in pre-service and in-service music teachers' job satisfaction.

Further Development

This is the final part of research started in 2014 when development of the new National Curricula (NC) was initiated. The role of music education had to be mapped to prove its meaning as a traditional mandatory subject in the NC. According to the research program, different aspects, related to music education (content, integration of art subjects, informal and non-formal music activities, supportive learning environments, etc.), were analysed. The research of 2020 is summarising the values music education can provide for development of educated, responsible, ethical and creative people. The data collected from essays of school students and (future and in-service) music teachers (n=166), were analysed by qualitative methods. The values were classified by the following categories: social, cultural, cognitive, moral, aesthetic, personal. The research results can be used as arguments for developing music education syllabi in the NCs from kindergartens to gymnasia. The whole program of research is already being used for further development of music teacher education.

Musical Education

In the context of individual musical instrument teaching, pedagogical abilities of a music teacher and the atmosphere he creates, result from his personality traits and can be of crucial importance for the initial and further progress of his students. The paper seeks to: describe the personality of a music instrument teacher, determine the differences in comparison to a group of non-musicians, and determine the position of personal characteristics in the structure of general and professional teacher profile. The sample comprised 60 individuals, teaching various musical instruments in five primary music schools. The research method is explorative and based on the use of the five-factor personality model (NEO PI-R was administered). The findings show that music teachers display a higher level of: openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness. The degree of congruence with the findings of other research is discussed and certain similarities were found, as well as differences stemming from professional and cultural specificities. Differences are proved to exist in relation to gender, musical instrument, working experience, degree of musical education and active public performance. Compared to non-musical population, it is confirmed that teachers of instrument in musical education represent a distinctive group. There are also differences between teachers who are oriented to pedagogic work only and those who, in addition, actively perform in public. Selection of teachers, according to characteristics which may be connected to students? accomplishment, is a practical implication relevant for the music education.

There is a decades-long history of music education researchers examining characteristics and skills associated with effective teaching and assessing how preservice music teachers develop those competencies. Building on studies of pedagogical content knowledge and the professional opinions of experienced music educators, researchers are now attempting to identity a body of core music teaching practices. We asked experienced in-service music teachers ( N = 898) to think about the skills beginning music teachers must possess to investigate how respondents rated and ranked selected core music teaching practices in terms of their relative importance. Developing appropriate relationships with students, modeling music concepts, and sequencing instruction were the top core teaching practices identified by the group. Results provide insights into knowing, naming, and framing a set of core teaching practices and offer a common technical vocabulary that music teacher educators might use as they design curricula and activities to develop these foundational skills.
