Abstract:
This thesis consists of 3 parts: "Conceptual and Theoretical Framework", "Method", "Findings and Interpretation", excluding the "Introduction" and "Conclusion" parts. With this study it has been aimed to make a due diligence as to whether the Turkish religious music courses in the faculties of Theology and Islamic Sciences, which had to be conducted through distance education for a while due to the Covid-19 epidemic are applicable; It is aimed to make suggestions from the results obtained in the context of the findings obtained. In order to determine the situation, 2 different sample groups were determined and in this context, the first group was the instructors in the field of Turkish religious music; The second sample group consisted of students who took the course through distance education. A two-part questionnaire, excluding the personal information form, was sent to the instructors via "Google Forms" and 48 people participated in this questionnaire. On the other hand, a scale development study was carried out in order to determine the attitudes of the students forming the second sample group. In this context, 3 different attitude scales were developed by making use of a 5-point Likert-type scale - Turkish Religious Music Attitude Scale, Distance Education Attitude Scale, Turkish Religious Music Lesson with Distance Education Attitude Scale. These scales were passed through a series of preliminary stages, -details are given in the sub-title of developing data collection tools--after they were finalized, they were applied to the main sample group. Again, 796 students participated in these scales, which were delivered via "Google Forms". When the analysis phase was started, these data were subjected to a series of cleaning steps and the sample size was reduced to 664. The data obtained from these applied scales were analyzed in terms of Validity-Reliability (EFA-CFA) using IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 and AMOS 22.0 package programs and the findings obtained were also discussed in "III. Chapter (Findings and Interpretation)". So much so that the Cronbach Alpha (reliability coefficient) of the "Turkish Religious Music Lesson Attitude Scale" is good with 0.898; The Cronbach Alpha of the "Distance Education Attitude Scale" is excellent with 0.914; The Cronbach Alpha of the "Turkish Religious Music Lesson with Distance Education Attitude Scale" was found to have good reliability with a score of 0.867. These developed scales have also added a unique value to the doctoral thesis. Afterwards, the data obtained from both instructors and students were interpreted in the context of sub-problem questions. The data obtained from the instructors were tabulated with frequency (f) and percentage (%) values; The data obtained from the students were also tabulated, analyzed and interpreted with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 package program. So much so that some conclusions were drawn from these findings obtained in the context of sub-problem questions, and the hypotheses of the thesis were tested. It has been observed that the instructors have two different attitudes towards the issue of conducting the Turkish religious music course with distance education -on the theoretical and practical parts. Again, the students' attitudes towards the Turkish religious music lesson are positive; negative attitudes towards distance education; It was determined that their attitudes towards the Turkish religious music lesson with distance education also showed a negative trend.
