The Effect of Background Turkish Music on Developing and Supporting Intrinsic Motivation in Preschool Period
Hungarian Educational Research Journal, v14 n2 p231-247 2024
This study aimed to examine the effect of Turkish Music, which is played in the background in preschool education environments, on the intrinsic motivation levels of children in the preschool period. The study used a "quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design with retention test", one of the quantitative research models. The study group of the study consists of 21 children aged 48-72 months, who were selected by purposive sampling method, attending the kindergartens of primary schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the city center of Tokat, Türkiye. The "Motivation Scale for Preschool Children (DMQ18)" was employed as a data collection tool to measure the motivation levels of children. In the study, while routine training activities were applied in the experimental group, Turkish Music pieces selected in accordance with each activity were played in the background. In the experimental group, background Turkish Music was played five days a week for four weeks. In the control group, the teacher practiced only daily activities. The study found a significant difference between the control and experimental group post-tests in favor of the experimental group. The study contributed to the literature as the first study to reveal that Turkish Music, which is played in the background during activities in preschool educational environments, makes a significant contribution to the intrinsic motivation levels of children.
