Özet

Art is an important information, awareness-raising and education tool. The branches of art, among which music education has an important place, are integral parts of the whole and support and complement one another. Teaching methods play an important role in music education which can appear complicated and abstract to the child. Orff-Schulwerk presents important clues to music teachers with its characteristics suited to children's nature, which emphasize the development of creativity. In order for prospect music teachers to learn to realize Orff-Schulwerk activities effectively, it is possible to resort to cooperative learning, which is an active learning technique. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to study the effects of cooperative learning on the ability of prospect music teachers to apply Orff-Schulwerk activities. The subjects of the research study where a post-test experimental design with control group is used consist of 26 prospect music teachers studying in Dokuz Eylul University. The research findings reveal that cooperative learning creates an effect of a meaningful level on the ability of prospect music teachers to apply Orff-Schulwerk activities.
