Young children are accepted to have creativity abilities. Creativity is a feature that needs to be improved. Many techniques are used to improve creativity. SCAMPER (substitute, combine, adjust, modify/magnify/minify, put to other uses, eliminate, reverse/rearrange) is one of the techniques used to improve creativity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of SCAMPER in improving creative imagination of 5-year-old children attending kindergarten. For this purpose, 49 children from the age group of 5 year attending a kindergarten in the Southwestern part of Turkey participated in the study. There were an experimental group and a control group in the study. SCAMPER technique was applied to the children in the experimental group. The control group continued to the normal education program. The data were collected by using Test of Creative Imagination (Child Form), which was developed by Aysun Gündoğan in 2019. At the end of the study, it was found that creative imagination levels of the children in the experimental group receiving education with SCAMPER technique increased. Differences among children receiving SCAMPER education were found in the fluency sub-dimension of creativity. The SCAMPER technique was effective in improving the creative imagination. Therefore, techniques and activities that enable the development of creative imagination should be applied to individuals from an early age.
This study endeavors to compare resilience and peer relationships of children who lost their fathers in a major mining accident in Soma with those who did not. Teachers rated 51 preschoolers whose fathers died, and 53 preschoolers whose fathers were alive. On the negative side, bereaved children had lower resilience and higher exclusion; on the positive side, bereaved children had lower peer victimization and higher prosocial behavior. Death of fathers is associated with lower resilience and more exclusion among young children, but others treat them better as well.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuk gelişimi ön lisans öğrencilerinin dramaya ilişkin algılarını metaforlar yoluy la tespit etmektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu "Çocuk ve Drama" dersini alan ikinci sınıf 97 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Bu öğrencilerden "Drama ……. gibidir. Çünkü …………….." ifadesini doldurmaları istenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde "içerik analizi" tekniği uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde öğrencilerin drama kavramına yönelik yazdıkları metaforlar kendi içinde ortak özelliklerine göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Bulgular dramanın özellikleri ve dramanın gelişimsel, eğitimsel yararları başlıkları altında iki ana sınıflandırmadan oluşmuştur. Bu sınıflandırmaya dayalı oluşturulan alt sınıflandırmaların frekansları alınmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularında en yüksek frekansa sahip alt sınıflandırmalar; dramanın yaşamı yansıtması, canlandırmaların olması, rahatlatıcı olması, bilgi ve beceri kazandırması, yaratıcılığı ortaya çıkarması şeklindedir.
