THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MUSICAL AUDIATION AND MATHEMATICAL PERFORMANCE IN SECOND GRADE CHILDREN IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
Abstract
This research attempts to determine the relationship between musical Audiation and mathematical performance in second grade children. 36 children (N = 36) participated in the survey, 15 of whom were boys (N = 15) and 21 were girls (N = 21). For the assessment of musical audiation, Gordon's “Elementary Musical Audiation Measures” (Stamou, Schmidt & Humphreys, 2006) and a mathematical performance appraisal tool for second grade students were used by the researchers. The results showed a strong relationship between the overall performance of the musical Audiation and the mathematical performance, while also being a significant predictive factor. According to the results, the gender factor does not seem to be of any importance in the students' performance.
