q2 · i? · causal · r2

Pretest-posttest experimental study of 85 experimental-group students taught the syncopation/offbeat topic with Turkish pop songs via karaoke recordings for four weeks; t tests per item showed significant increases, e.g. item 3 t(168) = 9.07, p = 0.00, and item 12 t(168) = 5.63, p = 0.00. "positive significant difference" was found for all other items.

"As there was a positive significant difference observed between pretest and posttest attitude points for all other items , the use of pop music samples in song learning during music lessons may be said to positively affect the attitudes of students to music lessons."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The largest attitude increase in the experimental group was on the item about use of technological facilities in music lessons, attributed to karaoke recordings — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• In the experimental group, no significant pretest-posttest difference appeared on items 4, 7, 8 and 15, including the item about teachers' use of instruments — related
• Traditional song teaching with educational music repertoire produced significant attitude increases only on performance-related items and no significant change on other items — related
• Before the application, students held moderately positive attitudes to music lessons, with lowest points on items about teacher instrument use and technology — related
