| description | In this study, we aimed to identify the value expressions in the lyrics of Turkish folk songs in the repertoire of the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) and then to compare these expressions by region. Document analysis, a qualitative research method, was used in this study. The documents included the lyrics of the verbal folk songs belonging to the seven regions of Türkiye and other regions (Kirkuk, Azerbaijan, Rumelia, Mosul, Crimea, and Cyprus) listed in the repertoire of TRT Turkish folk songs. The identified folk songs were classified according to 10 root values specified in the music education programmes of the Ministry of National Education: Justice, Friendship, Honesty, Self-Control, Patience, Respect, Love, Responsibility, Patriotism, and Helpfulness.Lyrics of 5384 metered folk songs and 1073 unmetered folk songs were examined, and 1347 value expressions were determined for 1218 folk songs. Accordingly, descriptive analyses of the folk songs were conducted using the "Form for Identifying the Suitability of Songs for Values Education", which was developed by the researchers and improved based on expert opinions. In this regard, the distributions of folk songs with identified values were determined by region. In addition, the relationship between the values identified by regions and the values-regions was examined in a sociological context.The results of this study indicate that the most intense value detected in folk songs is the value of love. It was also determined that the region where this value is most intensively observed is the Central Anatolia Region. It was further found that the diversity of values in the folk songs is highest in the Central Anatolia and Black Sea Regions. |
