Presentation abstract
Children’s songs play an important role in imparting values to children. There are many classifications in value education. Values are included into Turkish Curriculum. The problem statement of the study is expressed as follows: “What is the distribution of the songs from Turkish Radio and Television Corporation children’s songs competitions according to values in Turkish curriculum?” In the current study, totally 59 songs competing in the finals between 2004 and 2015 were analyzed according to values. In the analysis of the songs, content analysis was employed. More than one value was seen to be included in some of the songs. Frequency and percentage calculations were carried out according to the number of total value. Accordingly, frequencies related to values are as the following: diligence 2, solidarity 19, love of nature 16, honesty 1, rightness 1, faith 3, tolerance 1, self-confidence 4, sharing 5, respect 2, love 24, patriotism 3, peace 19, openness to innovation 12, joy of living 6, happiness 13, hope 12, favor 4. It is seen that the values of solidarity, love of nature, love, peace mainly take place in children’s songs and however, the values of diligence, honesty, rightness, faith, tolerance, self-confidence, respect, patriotism, favor take place too little in them. The fact that both future hopes of children are bringing to an end of wars, not causing death of children, bringing peace, and saying that the world is not an impossible-to-share thing are the indicators of the extent to which the values of the child were affected by the problems in the world. In this respect, while composing children’s songs, not only musical characteristics but also their content should be taken into consideration. And while selecting the content of the song, spiritual world of children should be considered.
