Abstract :In instrumental teaching, which is a psychomotor skill area, the first and most important stage that the student must master in order to perform with the quality and in the time expected of him/her is the bodily setup stage. In instrumental teaching, the principles of bodily setup vary according to the bodily setup of each instrument. The basic bodily setup principles of the bağlama (Turkic traditional lute) instrument are formed under the headings of sitting, posture, and grip, and teaching and performance are carried out. However, the number of scientific studies on the taxonomy and other principles of posture to be adopted in teaching the instrument is quite insufficient. It is not yet possible to say that there is a common understanding of this. The aim of this study is to reveal the general tendency in accordance with the basic principles adopted in the materials regarding the teaching of body posture by analyzing the teaching content related to body posture in the written teaching materials prepared for the teaching of bağlama from various aspects. In the study, data was collected using the method of document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. The data obtained were then subjected to content analysis. The sample of the study consists of 32 written teaching materials prepared for teaching the bağlama instrument. The sample was selected by using the purposive criterion sampling method. In the research, firstly, the place of the concept of the body structure in the related materials, its importance, and the way it is treated were analyzed. In addition, details such as the taxonomy in which the teaching of the body structure is realized in the documents and the visual tools used to convey it were described. The materials were compared with each other in terms of general information about body construction, related units and titles, the ratio of the number of pages related to body construction to the total number of pages, and gradualisation preferences. As a result of the research, the general contours of teaching the body structure stage in the materials in the sample were determined and the tendencies towards this concept in the materials were presented to the reader. It is envisaged that the research data can be used in future related studies and in the creation of taxonomies that will increase the quality of the teaching process of the bodily setup.
