Ill THE REFLECTIBILTY OF THE ADAPTATION OF THE TURKISH FOLK TUNES THROUGH VIOLIN TRAINING OF THE EDUCATION OF MUSIC TEACHERS IN MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM OF FACULTY OF EDUCATION AT ABANT İZZET BAYSAL UNIVERSITY Uğur ALPAGUT GAZİ UNIVERSITY INSTITUE OF SCIENCE AUGUST 2001 ABSTRACT This study covers the adaptation of Turkish folk tunes, with their fundamental musical elements, to violin and the characteristics of its reflectibilty on education of music teachers through violin education. The study has been conducted in order to reach at some clues about the purpose of the study, develop suggestions and by this approach, to contribute to violin education and education of music teachers. In this study, "pretest-training/practice-posttest+audition" a research design which consisted of the phases of and which was also empirically based was used as a research method. At the pretest-posttest phases of the study, 22 students were administered an observation form by 3 observes. During the observations students were asked to apply a folk tune from the Central Anatolia region to the violin. A 15 day-period was given between pre-and post test and it is also aimed at determining the behavioral characteristics of the students during this process.IV In order to determine studens cognitive and affective levels and development of the students another test was given in addition to the observation form. In this context In order to make inferences about the reflection of the study on music education the correlation between what the observers have done, observation results and the student responses was found. In the study students were provided with the opportunity for the audition of their work on the folk tunes selected and analyzed by themselves during the period of fifteen days. Fifteen students participated in the audition. The audition was held in the presence of spectators and was video recorded. After the analysis of video recordings, some qualitative findings were gathered. In gathering the quantitative findings, in iddition to parametric statistical techniques, non parametric statistical analysis is also carried out since the number of subjects was less than tihrty. After analysing the data, it has been concluded that students achieved the goals and were able to apply the fundemental musical elements of the folk tunes to the violin through basic tecnhiques and skills it has also been determined that the cognitive, affective and psychomotor behavioral characteristics of the students were quite suitable for progression and that they had confidence in that they could apply folk tunes to the violin in the future by themselves. In the light of these findings, several suggestions have been made for future studies.
