An Investigation into Music Teachers’ Perceptions of Technological Competencies

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the perceptions of music teachers about their technological competencies. For this purpose, it was aimed to determine what the pre-service teachers' views on their technological proficiency levels were and whether these views differed based on the variables of gender, age, school type, and grade level. Data were gathered through “Technological Competency Scale for Teachers” developed by (Bayraktar, 2015). The study was carried out with 231 music teachers working in secondary and high schools in the Central Anatolia region in the 2020-2021 academic year. Independent groups t-test and one-way analysis of variance techniques were used in the analysis of the data. It was found that the perceptions of music teachers regarding their technological competencies differed significantly by the variables of gender, age and school type. However, no significant difference was found between the technological competencies of music teachers working in secondary and high schools.
