Self-efficacy in Playing Dayak Music: A Case Study of Blind Students

Abstract

Blind people who have special needs show that limitations in moving and motor skills require self-confidence in playing music through the practice process. This study aims to analyze the process of achieving self-efficacy in blind students, by describing the process of achieving self-efficacy using Bandura's theory, namely cognitive processes, motivational processes, affective processes, and selection processes. The four processes of achieving self-efficacy show events that occur in individuals that influence situations such as emotional conditions that prioritize themselves rather than the influence of others. This study uses a qualitative approach to case study design with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews and data analysis using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the self-efficacy of blind students is born from the support of parents and the campus environment. Parental support is a motivation for him to take music courses. Meanwhile, the campus environment makes him feel that he has social support and success in learning. The findings of this study can be a guide for music educators, music therapists, and policy makers in developing better inclusive music programs to increase confidence in playing music.
