EXAMINATION OF PRESCHOOL TEACHERS MUSIC EDUCATION SELF-EFFICACY BELIEFS
Öz
This research aims to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs of preschool teachers in music education with various variables. Conducted using quantitative research methods, specifically a survey model, the study involved 324 preschool teachers in Istanbul during the 2020-2021 academic year. Data were collected using the "Preschool Teacher Candidates' Music Education Self-Efficacy Belief Scale" and a "Demographic Information Form" developed by the researcher. A validity and reliability analysis was conducted for this scale, originally designed for preschool teacher candidates, to assess its applicability to practicing preschool teachers. The scale showed high reliability, evidenced by a Cronbach's Alpha value of .961. In the analysis of the study, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, and one-way ANOVA tests were employed. Post-hoc LSD tests were conducted to determine between which groups significant differences existed. The findings revealed that the self-efficacy beliefs of preschool teachers in music education did not show significant differences based on gender and professional tenure. However, significant differences were noted in relation to the type of university graduated from, the type of school where they work, age, educational level, receiving training in music education, instrument usage, having a music workshop in their institution, the methods used in song teaching, the frequency of including music activities in plans, and the use of contemporary music teaching methods.
