Abstract

This research is a qualitative study that aims to examine the academic research in the field of mobile applications in instrumental education scanned in Google Scholar, Web of Science (WoS), and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database. The document analysis method was used as the research model. The study included 16 academic studies searching the keywords “violin app and musical instrument and violin application”. The academic studies were analyzed in terms of imprint, year, country, research methods, and data collection tools. The analyzed data were tabulated and interpreted. The findings were compared with the literature, and recommendations were made.

Keywords

Violin application , Violin education , Mobile violin education

Çalgı Eğitiminde Mobil Uygulamalar: Literatürün Sistematik Bir İncelemesi

Abstract

Bu araştırma, Google Scholar, Web of Science (WoS) ve Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) veri tabanlarında taranan çalgı eğitimde mobil uygulamalar alanındaki akademik araştırmaları incelemeyi amaçlayan nitel bir çalışmadır. Araştırma modeli olarak doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya “violin app ve musical instrument ve violin application” anahtar kelimeleri ile taranan 16 akademik çalışma dâhil edilmiştir. Akademik çalışmalar künye, yıl, ülke, araştırma yöntemleri ve veri toplama araçları açısından analiz edilmiştir. Analiz edilen veriler tablolaştırılmış ve yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular literatürle karşılaştırılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
