    In Turkey, BA degree Music education programs accept students according to their Musical Aptitude Test scores in addition to the Transition to Higher Education Examination (YGS) scores due to the fact that music requires special talent. Musical Aptitude tests are prepared and applied by the Music Departments of universities. The Musical Aptitude Test that is used in Music Education BA program in Uludag University consists of two parts. The first part aims to determine the readiness level of the candidates in terms of music theory and ear training and serves as an elimination exam. The second part of the exam, on the other hand, intends to evaluate the musical talents of instrument and voice, and is used as a selection exam. Within this context, it is expected that students' success on the musical aptitude test has a significant impact on their GPAs. The relation between those two scores is thought to be crucial to obtain the data to determine validity of the test especially when the purpose of the test is considered. For this reason, students' GPAs, Ear Training and Musical Literacy I-II, Major Performance I-II, Solo Vocal Training I-II class average grades and 2013 Musical Aptitude test scores are analyzed comparatively. Positive correlation is sustained between the musical aptitude test scores and first year GPAs of the students as a result of descriptive analysis. Moreover, the results show that Musical Aptitude test applied in 2013 has a high degree of validity. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    A study on testing reliability of 2013 musical aptitude test scores conducted by music education department in Uludag University
    (Elsevier, 2015-01-01) Engur, Doruk; Çeliktaş, Hatice; Demirbatır, Rasim Erol; Alevriadou, A; ENGÜR, DORUK; ÇELİKTAŞ, HATİCE; DEMİRBATIR, RASİM EROL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Müzik Eğitimi Bölümü; Alevriadou, A; 0000-0002-1337-9828; 0000-0002-9472-3001; 0000-0002-5917-1280; ABF-7081-2020; JHS-6569-2023; AAH-1672-2021; I-9833-2017
    Music Education is among Higher Education programs which accept their students according to their aptitude test scores. The aptitude tests are designed and applied specifically by the institution itself according to the specific needs and expectations of its education policy. Therefore, test contents, test formats, degree of difficulty and assessment criteria may vary accordingly. It is crucial for institutions to evaluate their test and examine its validity and reliability and they have to make the necessary changes when needed in order to sustain a better selection procedure. In accordance with this objective, this paper is an attempt to determine the reliability of the Musical Aptitude Test carried out by Music Education Department of Uludag University in 2013. To calculate the reliability, the Cronbach's Alpha is employed for the first part of the test, which only includes multiple choice questions and for the second part which is based on the performance of candidates, Kendall's W is carried out, since it measures the agreement among raters. The results indicate that the scores of Music Aptitude Test applied in 2013 have a high degree of reliability in terms of both parts of the test. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
