Abstract

Music education is a process that aims to develop individuals’ musical skills. Music lessons are an effective tool for the development of students, especially in dimensions such as musical hearing and rhythm. However, innovative music education methods are used to use this effective tool more effectively. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Prodigies music education method, an innovative music education method that uses colors and interactive tools, on students’ musical skills. In this context, after obtaining the necessary permissions for a project to be carried out in 2 semesters (24 weeks), experimental and control groups of 36 students assigned with pre-tests. In the research carried out on a voluntary basis, lessons with the Prodigies music education method were applied to the experimental group for 2 semesters. During this period, the control group their education with traditional music education methods. After the program was completed, the experimental group tested, and then the data of the control group was taken again, and a research with pretest - posttest features with experimental-control group was concluded. Musical hearing, rhythm and performance tests used for the research were provided by prodigies. The collected data were evaluated using analysis methods such as Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. These analyzes were preferred to reveal the differences between the pre-test and post-test results of the experimental and control groups and the changes within the groups. The most striking result of the study was that the experimental group showed a very effective increase in the performance area, while the control group showed no improvement in this area. Although there was relatively little increase in other areas in the control group, an increase was observed in all areas in the experimental group. It is recommended that innovative music education methods be integrated into traditional methods.

Abstract

Müzik eğitimi bireylerin müzik becerilerini geliştirmeyi amaçlayan bir süreçtir. Müzik dersleri öğrencilerin özellikle müzikal işitme ve ritim gibi boyutlardaki gelişimleri için etkili bir araçtır. Ancak bu etkili aracın daha etkili kullanılabilmesi için yenilikçi müzik eğitimi yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, renkleri ve etkileşimli araçları kullanan yenilikçi bir müzik eğitimi yöntemi olan Prodigies müzik eğitimi yönteminin öğrencilerin müzik becerileri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu kapsamda 2 yarıyılda gerçekleştirilecek bir proje için gerekli izinler alındıktan sonra 18 öğrenciden oluşan deney ve kontrol gruplarına ön testler uygulandı. Gönüllülük esasına göre yürütülen araştırmada deney grubuna 2 dönem boyunca Prodigies müzik eğitimi yöntemiyle dersler uygulanmıştır. Bu dönemde kontrol grubuna geleneksel müzik eğitimi yöntemleriyle eğitim verilmiştir. Program tamamlandıktan sonra deney grubuna test uygulanmış, daha sonra kontrol grubunun verileri tekrar alınarak deney-kontrol gruplu ön test- son test özellikli bir araştırma sonlandırılmıştır. Araştırmanın en dikkat çekici sonucu deney grubunun performans alanında oldukça etkili bir artış göstermesi, kontrol grubunun ise bu alanda herhangi bir gelişme göstermemesi oldu. Kontrol grubunda diğer alanlarda nispeten az bir artış olmasına rağmen deney grubunda tüm alanlarda artış gözlendi. Yenilikçi müzik eğitimi yöntemlerinin geleneksel yöntemlere entegre edilmesi önerilmektedir.
