Development of a ‘Musical Knowledge Test’ for the Sixth Grade Music Lesson of Turkish Primary Education

Abstract

As in every lesson, the achievement in music lessons is determined by measurement and assessment procedures. The diversity of the learning outcomes of the music lesson necessitates the multidimensional assessment of student development. Students’ learning outcomes regarding musical knowledge and behaviors can be measured through various measurement tools. In this study, it is aimed to develop a multiple-choice Musical Knowledge Test for 6th Grade music lesson subjects. In the developing process of the Musical Knowledge Test, firstly the subjects shall be discussed in the test were determined, the learning outcomes were detailed by dividing them into sub-outcomes, and a 25-question multiple-choice questionnaire was created. After obtaining expert opinion for the scope validity, a test draft was prepared and tested by making the necessary arrangements. 220 tests were analyzed using Excel program, after that, five items were excluded from the test. As a result of these corrections and analyzes, 20-item Musical Knowledge Test took its final form. The KR-20 reliability coefficient of the test was 0.77, the mean difficulty value was 0.57, the mean discrimination value was 0.44. The test, which seems valid and reliable, is thought to be an auxiliary and functional tool that music teachers can use.
