RELATIONSHIP: SELF-ESTEEM - ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT - ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT OF MUSIC STUDENTS AFTER THE PANDEMIC YEARS

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the relationship between the self-esteem of music students and their academic and artistic performance in both, the pre-pandemic period of Covid-19 and post- pandemic (N - 72 subjects and 78 subjects). Thus, in the year 2019, between self- esteem and academic results there is a positive correlation with a mean value of, r- .560 with p-0.01, and in the year 2022 there is a positive but, significant correlation with a much lower value, r- .261 with p-0.05. The same decrease was seen in the correlation between self-esteem and artistic achievement. This in 2019 had an average value of r- .567** with p-0.01 and in 2022, the correlation becomes insignificant with a value of r- .136. Between academic and artistic outcomes, in the year 2019 there is a positive correlation with a mean value of, .583** with p-0.01. In the year 2022, the correlation remains positive but with a reduced to half value, .258 with p-0.05. We can affirm that the Covid-19 pandemic was a factor that hindered the artistic development of the Music Faculty students.
