Özet:

Determination of affective qualities has come to the fore as an area of research in many educational types of research and has enabled educators to see positive or negative situations, problems or opportunities. When the literature is reviewed, it can be seen that the concept of anxiety is discussed as an important component in affective studies on education. Teachers and teacher candidates are also affected by various sources of anxiety in their professional lives like students. This study aims to examine the professional anxiety levels of music teacher candidates according to their musical instruments and grade levels. The study is important in that it is the first study to determine the relationship between music teacher candidates' professional anxieties according to their musical instruments. The research is a descriptive study based on the relational survey model. As a data collection tool, the Pre-service Teacher Anxiety Scale, adapted into Turkish by Saban et al. (2004), was used in the study. The pre-service teachers' data (n = 499) were taken with an online form in which their individual instruments and grade levels were also asked. Cronbach's alpha number of the scale was determined as 0,97. The most important finding was that there was no relationship between the levels of professional anxiety according to the individual instruments in the analyzes. Considering the class level variable, it was determined that professional anxiety increased as graduation approached between the 1st and 4th grade levels, as seen in other studies.
