Abstract

Music is related to aesthetics like any field of fine arts. Just as an understanding of art that lacks aesthetics and philosophy cannot be conceived, there is no general music education devoid of these. In this study, it was aimed to examine the cognitive structures of the aesthetics concept of the students studying professional music education. The participants were 88 students in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade at the Department of Music, Musicology and Turkish Music at a public university in Turkey in 2022-2023 academic year. It was followed the qualitative research method and used descriptive research design. A word association test (WAT) was used as data collection tool. In word association tests, the words that are associated with a series of keywords given to the research group are expected to be listed within the given time. In this context, participants were given the concept "aesthetics” and asked to write their associations and to make a related sentence about that concept. The content analysis was used in the analysis process. The results of the study showed that the majority of music students had misconceptions about the concept of aesthetics

Keywords: Aesthetics, music students, cognitive structure, word association test
