The study group comprised 242 students from Gazi University Gazi Faculty of Education. The Two-Dimensional Self-Esteem Scale and The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form were used as data collection tools. The method of the study conducted with a quantitative approach was a survey. According to the research data, music education students' happiness and self-competence levels are good, while self-liking levels are moderate. Self-esteem scores do not differ according to grade and gender variables. The contentment levels of music education students showed a substantial difference, favoring females. Looking at the faculty of education in general, all departments are at a moderate level in the self-liking aspect, and all are at a good level in the self-competence aspect. In happiness scores, it was determined that Music and Turkish-Social Sciences students had good scores, while Mathematics-Science group students had average scores at medium level. It was determined that music education pupils had higher averages in all aspects. As the outcome of the comparison analysis, it was determined that the happiness levels of Music Education students were significantly higher than Mathematics-Science Education students.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Music education, faculty of education, preservice teacher. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [dr.erkandemirtas@gmail.com](dr.erkandemirtas@gmail.com). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nMusic is one of the most important means of human expression. Human beings have transformed the sounds of limited frequencies they can perceive into art and revealed the phenomenon of music (Boşnak et al. , 2017) . Uçan (1994) defines music as an aesthetic whole consisting of sounds processed and combined according to a particular purpose and method and a specific understanding of beauty. Üstün (2021) states that the primary goal of music education is to meet the artistic needs of individuals and society. He stated that this need would be met by developing behaviors to create  \nappreciation and musical awareness in individuals.  \nMusic is taught in general, amateur, and professional ways (Uçan, 2005) . General music education takes place in schools in a planned and programmed manner to acquire the basic musical skills expected to develop in every individual. Abeles et al. (1994) categorized the  \nsocial-psychological dimensions of music education as foresight, roles, expectations, competition, cooperation, leadership, self-confidence, and attitudes. They also stated that one of the main objectives of music education is to foster good attitudes toward music. Teachers are responsible for the realization of these goals.  \nThe efficient and high-quality sustainability of the education system is directly related to teachers'competencies (Işıktaş, 2015) . Şişman (2016) listed some of the personality traits required for teaching as follows: Superior cognitive abilities, being creative, being adaptable, being happy to communicate with students, having a positive attitude towards students and teaching, giving importance to friendly relations, giving importance to personal development, having self-confidence. The educational evaluation of teachers can be measured not by what they know or do but by what they are  \nDemirtaş 93  \nthemselves, that is, by their characteristics (Bulut, 2011) .  \nSelf-esteem is a fundamental psychological idea (Doğan and Eryılmaz, 2013) . The good and negative feelings a person has about themselves are referred to as self-es","cbCaioeYFmJbjGKt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioeYFmJbjGKt","pdf",212211,"English","# Introduction\n## Music education and its objectives\n## Self-esteem as a psychological concept","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to determine preservice music teachers' self-esteem and happiness levels and compare them with students from other departments.\"},{\"question\":\"Which instruments were used to collect the data?\",\"answer\":\"The Two-Dimensional Self-Esteem Scale and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form were used as data collection tools.\"},{\"question\":\"Do music education students' self-esteem scores change by grade or gender?\",\"answer\":\"No. Self-esteem scores do not differ according to grade and gender variables in the study results.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Vol. 11(1) - Full Length Research Paper | PDF",1792071371]
