Saygi Gerçeker, Ceren
Educational Research and Reviews, v13 n17 p622-637 Sep 2018
The purpose of the present study is to examine fine arts students' attitudes towards art education based on some variables. The data were collected through the "Attitude Scale towards Art Education" developed by Ayaydin and Kurtuldu and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researcher. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the 32-item-scale is 0.90. The research consists of 234 students in the Art Teaching and Music Education Department, Faculty of Education, Fine Arts Education, Adnan Menderes University in 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, a descriptive screening model was used. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Version 21. Since the data were not normally distributed, differences between the groups were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test for comparison of 2 groups and the Kruskal-Wallis test for comparison of more than 2 groups. It was found that participants' attitude scores significantly varied with their gender, grade level, department, mothers' educational level, parents' income level and their frequency of attending art events. On the other hand, their attitude towards art education did not significantly vary based on the type of high school they graduated from, fathers' educational level, long-time neighborhood, employment status and whether or not receiving scholarship.
