Abstract:

 This research aimed to determine the usage status of the flute textbooks used in Fine Arts High Schools, which started to be used in 2019, in line with the opinions of the teachers, the content of the books, the problems encountered in the books, and the suggestions on this subject. At the same time, creating the study group of the research, a convenience sampling method was used. Accordingly, the study group of the research consists of nine flute teachers working in Fine Arts High Schools. In the study, to collect data, a semi-structured interview form was prepared after a literature review, and the opinions of three experts in the field of flute education were taken. In line with all these opinions, the interview form was given its final form. In the research, data were collected face to face and online, and the data obtained were analyzed using the content analysis method. MAXQDA was used to map the themes and codes obtained from the data and professional data analysis software was used for qualitative and mixed methods. In the results obtained; It was determined that the participants used the flute textbooks, found the flute textbooks more successful and sufficient than the previous editions, found the exercises inadequate in terms of numerical proficiency. In addition, there are participants who find the exercises sufficient in terms of content, diversity and systematicity, while there are also participants who find them inadequate. The participants find the studies inadequate in terms of content, numerical adequacy, diversity and systematicity, the works insufficient in terms of numerical adequacy, genre diversity and systematicity, and sufficient in terms of period diversity and originality. In addition, it has been concluded that there are mostly pieces from all periods, but the pieces of contemporary and Turkish composers are rarely included; more visuals and original editions should be included in the books, and the most common problem is the level of the students or the level of the pieces.

 Bu araştırmada 2019 yılında kullanılmaya başlanan güzel sanatlar lisesi flüt ders kitaplarının öğretmenlerin görüşleri doğrultusunda kullanılma durumu, kitapların içeriği, kitaplarda karşılaşılan sorunlar ve bu konu hakkındaki önerilerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu oluşturulurken kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Buna bağlı olarak araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Güzel Sanatlar Liselerinde görev yapmakta olan dokuz flüt öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada verilerin toplanabilmesi amacıyla literatür taraması sonrası yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu hazırlanmış ve flüt eğitimi alanında üç uzmanın görüşü alınmıştır. Tüm bu görüşler doğrultusunda görüşme formuna son şekli verilmiştir. Araştırmada veriler yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi ortamda toplanmış, elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Verilerden elde edilen tema ve kodların haritalanmasında MAXQDA nitel ve karma yöntemler için profesyonel veri analizi yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlarda; katılımcıların flüt ders kitaplarını kullandıkları, flüt ders kitaplarını önceki basımlara göre daha başarılı ve yeterli bulduğu, egzersizleri sayısal yeterlilik açısından yetersiz buldukları belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra egzersizleri içerik, çeşitlilik ve sistematiklik açısından yeterli bulan katılımcılar olduğu gibi yetersiz bulan katılımcılar da vardır. Ayrıca katılımcılar etütleri içerik, sayısal yeterlilik, çeşitlilik ve sistematiklik açısından yetersiz, eserleri sayısal yeterlilik, tür çeşitliliği ve sistematiklik açılarından yetersiz, dönem çeşitliliği ve orijinallik açılarından yeterli bulmaktadırlar. Bunun yanı sıra çoğunlukla her döneme ait eser olduğu ancak çağdaş ve Türk bestecilerinin eserlerine az yer verildiği, kitaplarda daha fazla görsele ve orijinal edisyonlara yer verilmesi gerektiği, en yaygın sorunun ise seviye uygunsuzluğueser seviyesi olduğu gibi sonuçlara da ulaşılmıştır.
