| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This research study aimed to determine Year Three students’ attitude towards music
learning in Chinese national-type primary schools, Gerik Perak. A sample of 54 primary
school children aged nine with 22 boys (40.74%) and 32 girls (59.26%) involved in this
research study completed a questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale through pre-test and
post-test. The Tripartite model with the affective, behaviour, and cognitive components
acted as a framework to determine participants’ attitude towards music learning with five
aspects of self-confidence, music anxiety, enjoyment of music, intrinsic motivation, and
perceived usefulness. The data were collected and analysed using descriptive statistics of
mean, standard deviation, and Cohen’s d. Results revealed that the participants were at a
high level of self-confidence towards music learning during the pre-test (μ=3.04) and a
slight decrease during post-test (μ=2.98). The participants were not feeling anxiety towards
music learning as both pre and post-test were at low levels with mean scores of 1.79 and
1.83 respectively. Consequently, the participants were at a high level of enjoyment towards
music learning for both pre-test (μ=3.13) and post-test (μ=3.07). The participants expressed
a high level of intrinsic motivation during the pre-test with mean scores of 3.00 and a
moderate level with mean scores of 2.97 during the post-test. Lastly, the participants stated
a moderate level of perceived usefulness towards music learning for both pre and post-test
with mean scores of 2.74 and 2.83 respectively. This research study asserts that the
participants enjoyed music learning in school but they hardly perceived the usefulness as
they find it less significant in learning music in school. These findings act as crucial
implications for certain parties so that suitable efforts can be made to improve and enhance
the quality of music learning in primary schools. |
