Abstract

The study investigates the students’ awareness of the career prospects in music education in secondary schools in Kogi State Senatorial Zone. To carry out the study, three (3) research questions are designed for data collection, while two (2) null hypotheses formulated and tested in the study. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) students is used as representatives of the population sample. The instrument to be used for data collection is questionnaire on the awareness of students on the career prospects in music education in Kogi State. The statistical weighted mean is used to analyze/answer the research questions; for testing of the null hypothesis, Z test is used. The researcher is optimistic that following an investigation into the awareness of students of the career prospects in music education in secondary schools in Kogi State, the secondary schools in Kogi State will be aware of teaching/instructing as a career prospect in music education though many do not opt for it. This investigation fully creates awareness that composing music is a career prospect in music education. They are fully aware that performance is a career prospect in music except on the aspect of being a concert performer. They are aware of employment with the media/music industry as a career prospect in music. However, some are not aware that working in the television/radio houses as music presenter or newscaster is a career prospect in music. They are fully aware of establishing a private music venture/business as a prospect in music education as a career, though not usually feasible due to huge financial involvement. There is no significant difference between the awareness of the urban and rural secondary school in Kogi State on the career prospect in music education. There is a significant difference between the female and male secondary school students in Kogi State on their awareness of the career prospects in music education. The findings had a lot of implications which were briefly discussed later. Therefore, based on these findings and their implications, recommendations are made followed by suggestions for further studies, summary and conclusion.
科吉州中学音乐教育学生职业前景意识调查
本研究调查了科吉州参议院区的中学学生对音乐教育职业前景的认知。为了进行研究,设计了三(3)个研究问题来收集数据,同时在研究中制定和检验了两(2)个零假设。总共有120名学生作为总体样本的代表。用于数据收集的工具是关于学生对科吉州音乐教育职业前景认识的问卷。统计加权平均值用于分析/回答研究问题;对于零假设的检验,使用Z检验。研究人员乐观地认为,在调查了科吉州中学学生对音乐教育职业前景的认识之后,科吉州的中学将意识到教学/指导是音乐教育的职业前景,尽管许多人不选择它。这次调查充分唤起了人们对音乐创作是音乐教育事业前景的认识。他们充分意识到,除了成为一名音乐会表演者之外,表演是音乐界的一个职业前景。他们意识到媒体/音乐行业的就业是音乐行业的职业前景。然而,有些人没有意识到在电视/广播公司担任音乐节目主持人或新闻播音员是音乐的职业前景。他们充分意识到建立一个私人音乐企业/商业作为音乐教育事业的前景,尽管由于巨大的财政投入通常不可行。科吉州城乡中学对音乐教育职业前景的认知没有显著差异。科吉州男女中学生对音乐教育职业前景的认知存在显著差异。这些发现有很多含义,稍后将简要讨论。因此,根据这些发现及其影响,提出建议,然后是进一步研究的建议,总结和结论。
