Achievement goal orientation (AGO) might help music teacher candidates make their learning processes more effective by revealing how they are motivated towards the learning tasks. In this respect, the purpose of this study was to examine the levels of achievement goal orientation of pre-service music teachers according to eight variables. The participants of the study consisted of 1250 undergraduate students studying in the departments of music education during the academic year 2013–2014 in Turkey. The data were collected through an Information Form and the Achievement Goal Orientation Scale (AOS). The results of the study revealed that gender, grade level, students’ achievement level and willingness had small effects on students’ learning goal orientation. Practice time in music, students’ evaluation of their own achievement levels among their peers, the extent to which students found themselves skilled in music and pursuing another profession had a medium effect on learning goal orientation. Informing students about the achievement goal orientation and the effects of these goals on the teaching and learning process may help students with their achievement goal orientations towards the desired direction.

Art literacy refers to achieving artistic knowledge, evaluating this knowledge and integrating it with experiences. The aim of the study is to examine the ''art literacy'' levels of the students attending the educational faculty in terms of grade level, gender, the fact that they love art books, the fact that they love doing research in library, frequency of reading books and the department they attend. The study group consisted of 585 students attending the educational faculty of Nigde Omer Halisdemir University in 2017-2018 academic year. The art literacy scale was used to collect the data of the study. At the end of the study, it was determined that art literacy levels of students were similar in terms of class level and gender. It was realized that the art literacy level of the students enjoying reading art books was higher than the students who did not like doing so. It was also found out that the art literacy level of the students enjoying doing research in the library was higher than the students who did not like doing research. Moreover, the art literacy level of students who read books on a daily basis was higher than the students who read one book in a month and those who did not read.

Araştırmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının müzik öğretimi öz yeterlilik düzeylerinin cinsiyete, sınıf düzeyine, müzik eğitimi alma durumuna ve müzik enstrümanı çalma durumuna göre incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi sınıf öğretmenliğinde 3. ve 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören, 81'i kız ve 32'si erkek olmak üzere toplam 113 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak; Afacan (2008) tarafından geliştirilen " Müzik Öğretimi Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği " kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri analizinde, bağımsız gruplarda t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda müzik öz yeterliliği alt boyutlarında cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi ve müzik eğitimi alma durumuna göre anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı görülmüştür. Bulgularda müzik enstrümanı çalma durumuna göre müzikte uygulama becerisine güven duyma alt boyutunda puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık vardır. Enstrüman çalabilenlerin, enstrüman çalamayanlara göre müzikte uygulama becerisine güven duyma düzeyleri daha yüksek çıkmıştır.
