Abstract

Considering the advantages of mobile learning, in this study a free music notation software (MNS) named Musical Ear Training - Theory is developed using the Unity game engine. The MNS enables users to create, save, edit, listen, and share melodies through virtual classrooms. The study group comprised 21 students and 2 teachers from a Fine Arts High School located in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. As a part of the Western Music Theory and Practice course, under the guidance of teachers, the students used MNS on their personal smartphones during and outside classes for a period of 4 weeks. After the implementation, a semi-structured interview was conducted with the participating students and teachers using a form to obtain their opinions on the MNS, and a content analysis was also performed using these data. The analysis revealed that participant’ opinions on the MNS were predominantly positive. The students were able to conduct several exercises in areas, such as solfeggio, dictation and composition, using MNS. Owing to the virtual classroom feature of the software, the teachers were able to share their solfeggio and dictation melodies with students via the internet, and the students were able to perform assignments outside the classroom. Implications for practice or policy: Instructors should be aware of current music education applications in mobile stores. Music education researchers should work collaboratively with technology experts to carry out joint projects on the development of music education applications. Institutional administrators should create the necessary infrastructure by encouraging the use of Musical Ear Training - Theory and other similar applications by students and teachers.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, mobil öğrenmenin avantajları göz önüne alınarak, Unity oyun motoru üzerinde ücretsiz bir müzik notasyon yazılımı (Müziksel Kulak Eğitimi – Teori) geliştirilmiştir. MNY, kullanıcılara sanal sınıflar aracılığıyla ezgiler oluşturma, kaydetme, düzenleme, dinleme ve paylaşma olanağı sunar. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, Türkiye'nin İç Anadolu Bölgesi'nde bulunan bir güzel sanatlar lisesinde görev yapan 2 öğretmen ve 21 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Batı müziği teorisi ve uygulaması dersinin bir parçası olarak öğrenciler, 4 haftalık bir süre boyunca öğretmenlerin rehberliğinde kişisel akıllı telefonlarında MNY'yi ders sırasında ve ders dışında kullanmışlardır. Uygulamanın ardından, öğrenciler ve öğretmenlere, MNY hakkındaki görüşlerini elde etmek amacıyla yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler kullanılarak içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonrasında katılımcıların MNY ile ilgili görüşlerinin genellikle olumlu olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Öğrenciler, MNY’yi kullanarak solfej, dikte ve besteleme gibi birçok alanda egzersizler yapabilmişlerdir. Yazılımın sanal sınıf özelliği sayesinde öğretmenler, solfej ve dikte melodilerini internet aracılığıyla öğrencilerle paylaşabilmiş ve öğrenciler sınıf dışında ödevlerini yapabilme imkanı bulmuşlardır. Elde edilen veriler ve alanyazın incelemesi doğrultusunda aşağıda bazı öneriler sunulmuştur: Eğitmenler, mobil uygulama mağazalarındaki güncel müzik eğitimi uygulamalarının farkında olmalıdır. Müzik eğitimi araştırmacıları, müzik eğitimi uygulamalarının geliştirilmesi üzerine ortak projeler gerçekleştirmek için teknoloji uzmanlarıyla işbirliği yapmalıdır. Kurumsal yöneticiler, öğrenci ve öğretmenlerin 'Müziksel Kulak Eğitimi – Teori’ gibi benzer uygulamaları kullanmalarını teşvik ederek gerekli altyapının oluşturulmasında öncü olmalıdır.
