Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine and examine students’ metaphorical perceptions of a “music lesson” in different high school grade levels. The research method was designed following a qualitative research approach while a phenomenological design was used. The research study group consisted of 305 high school students selected by a purposeful and random sampling method. The research data were collected using a metaphor prepared by the researchers. Students were asked to fill in the blanks in the sentence given as follows: “A music lesson is like…..because .....” Out of 305 forms, only 202 forms containing the metaphor sentence were evaluated. The data obtained as the research results were analyzed by the methods of content and metaphor analyses, and the results obtained were categorized and tabulated. The tables representing the categories were supported by the participants’ direct statements. As the result of the study, it was determined that 94 different metaphors and 10 categories were formed. Keywords: Secondary Education, Music Lesson, Metaphor
