1554201376 THE COMPARİSON OF CHOİR EDUCATİON PERCEPTİONS OF THE FİRST-GRADE (FRESHMEN) AND LAST-GRADE (SENİOR) STUDENTS İN WESTERN MUSİC CHOİR EDUCATİON: A METAPHOR ANALYSİS EXAMPLE

The purpose of this research is to understand how much of the basic learning outcome obtained during
the choir trainings by the freshman and senior students of Music Teaching can be put into practice and
determine the awareness level between these two groups. First grade (N = 31) and fourth grade (N = 27)
students who were selected for the research were informed about what a ‘metaphor’ was and how they
defined choral education by survey. The surveyed questionnaires were analyzed through the processes
of determination and classification of metaphors, category development and percentage and frequency
calculation. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the answers of the first year students did not
fully comply with the items like ‘Technical Skills in Choir Education’ and ‘Values and Attitudes in Choir
Education’ and the answers of the fourth grade students were completely compatible with these values and
attitudes, which shows that the senior students get the choral training in a proper system. However, since
the metaphor analysis study is not directed to measuring technical skills, it cannot determine whether the
elements of ‘technical skills in choir training’ are conducted entirely properly or not.
