This study aims to investigate the psychological influence of music on educational motivation in adolescents.
A total of 600 students from 4 different schools were included in the study. Participants were randomized into two equal groups as experiment and controls. The “Music - education motivation” methodology was applied to the experimental group during one educational year. After a year, the educational motivation status of students was assessed by “Studying the Motivation of Adolescent Learning” (SMAL) and “Diagnosis of Educational Motivation of Schoolchildren” (DEMS) surveys. The results of a total of 350 students including 250 experimental (130 female, mean age 13.9±2 years) and 100 control (50 female, mean age 12.8±3 years) groups were analyzed. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups according to the results of the SMAL survey (p = .01). Also, the DEMS questionnaire revealed that the self-improvement and communicative motivations of the students in the experimental group were significantly higher than controls (p < .05). In this study, it was shown that music-enriched education is associated with learning motivations in adolescents. As a result of the study, it can be said that the education model that includes music and art positively affects the educational motivation of teenagers.
