Nanjing, Çin’de ilköğretim müzik eğitiminde ebeveyn katılımı ve desteğinin etkileri: Yakınsak gelişim alanı teorisi üzerine bir çalışma

Abstract

Son yıllarda, ilköğretimde ebeveynlerin rolü giderek daha fazla dikkat çekmektedir; özellikle müzik eğitimi bağlamında. Vygotsky’nin Yakınsak Gelişim Alanı (ZPD) teorisine dayanan bu çalışma, ebeveyn katılımı ve desteğinin Nanjing’deki ilkokul öğrencilerinin müzik eğitimi sonuçları üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, ebeveyn katılımının öğrencilerin müzik başarısı ve müziğe olan ilgisi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemekte ve ebeveyn desteğinin temel mekanizmalarını ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırmada, 150 ebeveyn ve öğrencinin katılım sağladığı anket verileri toplanmıştır. Ebeveyn anketi, müzik eğitimine katılım sıklık ve biçimlerini değerlendirirken; öğrenci anketi müziğe olan ilgiyi ve ebeveyn desteğinin algılanan düzeyini ölçmüştür. Betimsel istatistikler, korelasyon ve düzenleyici etki analizleri ile varyans analizi birleştirilerek yapılan analizler, ebeveynlerin aktif katılımının öğrenci başarısı ve müzik öğrenimine ilgisi ile anlamlı ve pozitif ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarının müzik öğrenme kaynaklarına aktif katılımı, çocukların müzik öğrenimine olan ilgilerini artırmada önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Çalışma, aktif ebeveyn katılımının ilkokul öğrencilerinin müzik eğitim sonuçlarını önemli ölçüde iyileştirebileceğini önermektedir. Bu bulgu, müzik eğitiminde ebeveyn katılımının uygulanabilirliğini güçlü bir şekilde desteklemekte ve eğitim politikası yapıcılarına müzik eğitiminde ev-okul iş birliğini daha fazla teşvik etmeleri için öneriler sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, çalışma, Nanjing bölgesine özgü veriler sağlayarak uluslararası müzik eğitimi araştırmalarının bölgesellik ve çeşitliliğinin zenginleştirilmesine katkıda bulunmakta ve sonraki araştırmalar ile politika geliştirme için önemli bir referans değeri sunmaktadır.

The effects of parental involvement and support on elementary school music education in Nanjing, China: A study based on the theory of the zone of proximal development

Abstract

In recent years, the role of parents in elementary education has received increasing attention, especially in music education. Based on Vygotsky’s theory of ZPD, this study aims to assess how parental involvement and support influence the music education outcomes of elementary school students in Nanjing. It explores the effects of parental involvement on the music achievement and interest of elementary school students in Nanjing and attempts to reveal the underlying mechanisms of parental support. Data from 150 parent and student participation questionnaires were collected through a questionnaire format. The parent questionnaire assessed the frequency and form of their participation in music education, while the student questionnaire assessed interest in music and their perceived level of parental support. Combining descriptive statistics, correlation and moderated effects analyses, and analysis of variance, the results showed that active parental involvement was significantly and positively associated with student achievement and interest in music learning. Parents’ active involvement in their children’s music learning resources can go a long way in stimulating their children’s interest in music learning. The study suggests that active parental involvement can significantly improve music education outcomes for elementary school students. This finding provides strong support for the practice of parental involvement in music education and relevant recommendations for educational policymakers to further promote home-school collaboration in music education. This study contributes to the enrichment of the regionality and diversity of international music education research by providing specific data from the Nanjing region, which provides an important reference value for subsequent research and policy development.
