Our aim was to research the effect of emotional intelligence education on the emotional intelligence of young children. The sample group were 6-year-old children attending preschool classes (N = 120). A subgroup of 40 students attended a 12-week emotional intelligence program.
After 12 weeks the children were measured using the Sullivan Emotional Intelligence Scale (Sullivan, 1999); results showed that an emotional intelligence education program contributed significantly to children's emotional intelligence levels.
Bu araştırma çoklu ortamlar ile desteklenen çevre eğitimi programının çocukların çevreye yönelik tutumlarına ve farkındalıklarına olan etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çevre Eğitimi Programının anasınıfına devam eden çocukların çevreye yönelik tutum ve farkındalıklara etkisinin incelendiği çalışmada ön test-son test kontrol gruplu deneysel desen esas alınmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Sivas il merkezinde bulunan iki ilkokulun öğleden önce eğitim veren anasınıfları çalışma grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen Genel Bilgi Formu ve Soydan ve Samur (2013), tarafından geliştirilen "Okul Öncesi Çocukları için Çevre Farkındalığı ve Tutum Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Çevre eğitiminin anasınıfına devam eden çocukların çevreye yönelik tutum ve farkındalıkları üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymak amacıyla araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen "Çoklu Ortamlar ile Desteklenen Çevre Eğitimi Programı" uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde bağımsız gruplarda karşılaştırma yapmak için Mann Whitney U Testi, bağımlı gruplarda karşılaştırma yapmak için ise Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar Testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular sonucunda; çoklu ortamlar ile desteklenen çevre eğitimi programının, çocukların çevreye yönelik tutum ve farkındalıklarında etkili olduğu saptanmıştır.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been seen in more than 120 countries, including Turkey, which took public health measures to reduce the spread of the novel virus. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Turkish education system, where schools closed indefinitely on March 16, 2020, due to the pandemic. School closures immediately changed the lives of Turkish children and their parents, as children started to spend more time with their families at home during this pandemic. This article addresses how parents spent time with their children at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how their feelings changed during this time. Purposive sampling was used to select 25 parents whose children in preschool education during the spring semester of 2020. This study used qualitative methods, collecting data through a semi-structured interview form. Interviews were conducted over the telephone because of the social distancing guidelines during the pandemic. Results from the interviews show that parents engaged in several different types of activities with their children at home during the pandemic. Parents’ reflections detailed how they noticed behavioral, psychological, socialization, and school-based impacts on their children during the pandemic period. Besides, findings indicate that parents generally experienced negative feelings and effects due to the pandemic. Results are discussed in terms of the effects of the pandemic on the lives of parents and their young children.
This study, Creative Behavior ObservationForm was developed to assess creativity of the children. While the study group on the reliability and validity of Creative Behavior Observation Form was being developed, 257 children in total who were at the ages of 5-6 were used as samples with stratified sampling method. Content Validity Index (CVI) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were applied in order to measure validity of Creative Behavior Observation Form. Test-retest method was used in order to determine if Creative Behavior Observation Form has reliable measurements in time. This study concludes with recommendations for the applicators, researchers and teachers who will use Creative Behavior Observation Form as an instrument to develop creativity of preschool children.
