Abstract

ABSTRACT One of the most important dimensions of music teacher education is musical instrument education (MIE). In MIE, in addition to instrument-specific techniques and musical behaviors, many dimensions of music education, such as solfege, music theory, musical forms, music history, musical culture, individual vocalization, and collective vocalization, are reconsidered, integrated, implemented, and reinforced with a holistic approach. Therefore, the psychological well-being of prospective music teachers during MIE can impact their professional development. While the concept of burnout has been widely discussed as a negative psychological condition among university students, it has rarely been addressed specifically in the context of individual instrument lessons, which, despite contributing significantly to professional development and being offered as a one-credit semester equivalent in music teaching programs, impose a much heavier workload than it appears with their performance tasks and multidimensional complexity. This study aimed to examine the burnout levels of prospective music teachers studying at six state universities in the Central Anatolia Region of Türkiye (n=331). In the study, which employed a correlational screening model, data were collected using a "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers and the "Individual Musical Instrument Lesson Burnout Scale" developed by Girgin, 2015. SPSS software was used in data analysis, and descriptive statistics, as well as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test, were applied. The findings indicate that the overall burnout level is quite low. However, it was determined that the burnout level varies significantly according to variables such as gender, perceived instrument success, communication quality with the teacher, love for the instrument, and a suitable environment for instrument practice.

Özet

ÖZ Müzik öğretmenliği eğitiminin en önemli boyutlarından biri, çalgı eğitimidir. Çalgı eğitiminde, çalgıya özel teknik ve müzikal davranışların yanı sıra; solfej, müzik teorisi, müzik biçimleri, müzik tarihi, müzik kültürü, bireysel seslendirme, birlikte seslendirme gibi müzik eğitiminin pek çok boyutu bütüncül bir yaklaşımla yeniden ele alınır ve uygulanır. Bu nedenle müzik öğretmeni adaylarının, çalgı eğitimindeki psikolojik iyi oluşları, mesleki gelişim sürecini etkileyebilmektedir. Tükenmişlik kavramı ise; üniversite öğrencilerinde bir çeşit psikolojik iyi olamama hali olarak yaygın bir şekilde ele alınmış olsa da mesleki gelişime büyük katkı sağlayan, müzik öğretmenliği programlarında her yarıyıl 1 kredi karşılığı bulunmasına rağmen, performans görevleri ve çok boyutlu karmaşık yapısı ile göründüğünden çok daha fazla iş yükü getiren bireysel çalgı dersi özelinde çok az ele alınmıştır. Bu araştırma, Türkiye'nin Orta Anadolu Bölgesi'ndeki altı devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören müzik öğretmeni adaylarının bireysel çalgı dersi tükenmişlik düzeyini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır (n=331). İlişkisel tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilen çalışmada, veriler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve (Girgin, 2015) tarafından geliştirilen “Bireysel Müzikal Enstrüman Dersi Tükenmişlik Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS yazılımı kullanılmış; betimsel istatistiklerin yanı sıra Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi, Mann-Whitney U testi ve Kruskal-Wallis H testi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, genel tükenmişlik seviyesinin oldukça düşük olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak tükenmişlik düzeyinin cinsiyet, algılanan çalgı başarısı, öğretmenle iletişim kalitesi, çalgıya duyulan sevgi ve çalgı çalışmaya uygun ortam gibi değişkenlere göre anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.
