In this study, it was aimed to develop a music listening skill test for primary school teacher candidates to determine their levels of perception of basic musical structures through listening. A total of 260 teacher candidates studying in the department of primary education (early childhood and elementary education) of a public university in Türkiye formed the study group of the research. KR-20 internal consistency coefficient of the Music Listening Skills Test (MLST) was determined as 0.731. The mean of the item difficulty index of the test is 0.60, and the mean of the item distinctiveness index is 0.38. The MLST consists of a total of 27 questions with 53 listening contents converted into audio files in MP3 format to be played by the practitioner. The MLST can be used as a preliminary assessment tool in studies on the development of musical competencies. In addition, the musical structures in the test content can be handled in the music education processes of teacher candidates. Assessing music listening skills can also make it easier to follow the steps to be followed in the education of teacher candidates. In this way, educational contents can be developed and music education programs can be updated.

为学前班和小学教师候选人开发音乐听力技能测试（MLST）


在这项研究中，旨在为小学教师候选人开发音乐听力技能测试，以确定他们通过听力对基本音乐结构的感知水平。此次研究的研究小组由土耳其一所公立大学初等教育系（幼儿教育和基础教育）的 260 名教师候选人组成。音乐聆听技能测试（MLST）的KR-20内部一致性系数确定为0.731。测试的题目难度指数均值为0.60，题目独特性指数均值为0.38。 MLST共有27题，53个听力内容，转换成MP3格式的音频文件供练习者播放。 MLST可以作为音乐能力发展研究中的初步评估工具。此外，测试内容中的音乐结构可以在教师候选人的音乐教育过程中处理。评估音乐聆听技能还可以更容易地遵循教师候选人教育中应遵循的步骤。这样，就可以开发教育内容，更新音乐教育项目。
