Abstract:
In the exams based on limits and derivatives, in this study, it was tried to determine that if there was any difference in
students' test scores according to the type of music listened to and environment without music. For this purpose, the
achievement test including limits and derivatives and whose reliability coefficient of Cronbach Alfa is .83 was applied with
the environments in which different types of music were listened, to 98 students studying at Primary Mathematics Teaching
Department in Buca Faculty of Education in Dokuz Eylul University. As a result, it was observed that both male and female
students' test scores form the exam based on limits and derivatives compared to the environment without music; besides, the
increase in average number of correct answers of female students was higher than the male students'
