The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between maternal acceptance-rejection levels and preschool children's social competence and emotion regulation skills. The study group of the research, which was designed in survey method, consisted of 303 voluntary mother-child dyad. The participant children were attending a preschool in 2014-2015 academic year, in Istanbul and they were selected by random cluster sampling method. The "Personal Information Form", the "Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire-Mother Form (PARQ)", the "Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 (SCBE-30)" and the "Emotion Regulation Checklist" were used as data collection tools.As a result of the study, it has been found that there is a positive significant relationship between maternal acceptance level and children's "Social Competence" subscale of SCBE-30 and their emotional regulation skills. In addition to this result, it has been found that maternal acceptance level didn't differentiated according to age and gender of the child; however the average scores of PARQ's "Warmth/Affection" subscale have been differentiated in favor of the girls. It has been found that "Social Competence" and "Anger-Aggression" subscales of SCBE-30 were significantly differentiated according to gender; "Anger-Aggression" scores of the boys were higher than the girls, whereas "Social Competence" scores of the girls were higher than the boys. Moreover, it has been found that "Lability-Negativity" subscale scores of Emotion Regulation Checklist have been differentiated according to gender; girls showing less labile/negative emotional reactions. Finally, it has been found that child's social competence and emotional regulation skills increase as the age increases.
During the social process of the preschool period, the aim is to enable children to gain social skills which will help them to adapt to the classroom, and prepare them for their social life. Benefiting from cooperative teaching methods in the development of social skills supports children's interactions with each other. The carrying out of group work with new and different approaches, which incorporate collaboration in the activities, is significant for the development of the social skills and peer interactions of children. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of collaborative learning with group mind mapping about social skills-related themes on the social skills performance of 60-72-month-old preschoolers. The Social Skills Assessment Scale was used as the data gathering tool in the research. A total of 35 children were included in the study as follows: 18 children in the working group and 17 children in the control group. Children carried out 5 large group mind mapping activities and 19 small group mind mapping activities by creating one mind map each week. In the study, it was concluded that mind mapping activities related to social skills have an effect on the development of the social skills of preschoolers.
Bu araştırmada, 5-7 yaş grubu çocukların geometri becerilerinin yaş ve cinsiyet değişkenleri açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma kapsamında ve tarama modeline uygun olarak tasarlanan araştırmanın evrenini, İstanbul ili Anadolu yakasında bulunan, okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarına ve ilkokulların 1.sınıfına devam eden 5-7 yaş grubu çocuklar (333’ü 5 yaş, 210’u 6 yaş ve 211’i 7 yaş) oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Erken Geometri Beceri Testi” kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, yaş değişkenin çocukların geometri becerileri üzerinde farklılık oluşturduğu, cinsiyet değişkeninin ise herhangi bir farklılık oluşturmadığı tespit edilmiştir. 5-7 yaş grubu çocukların, şekillerin tipik (prototip) örneklerini ayırt etmede sorun yaşamadıkları; ancak şekil seçiminde şekillerin atipik ve geçersiz örneklerinden etkilendikleri belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca şekil seçiminde çocukların daha çok görsel eşleştirme yapmalarının yanı sıra şekillerin basit özelliklerin yönelik eşleştirmeler yaptıkları da tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada Clements ve diğerlerinin (1999) ileri sürdüğü tanıma öncesi dönemin (pre-recognitive) ve bütünleşik (syncretic) düzeyin varlığına yönelik kanıtlar elde edilmiştir.
The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the DeMoulin Self-Concept Developmental Scale for 36-72 month old children. In addition, it has been attempted to examine the effects of age and gender variables on the self-concept of children. The study is in survey method. The sample consists of 810 children who attend preschools in Istanbul, Turkey. Data collection tools used in the research are; the Demographic Form, the DeMoulin Self-Concept Developmental Scale for Children, the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale-30 and the Emotion Regulation Scale. The results of the item discrimination and criteria validity analyses support the validity of the scale. It could be said that the founded Cronbach's Alpha value of the total scale and subscales and the results of the split half method and test-retest method analyses indicate that the scale is a reliable measurement tool. In addition, it has been found that the age variable affected the self-concept scores, but the gender variable had no effect on it. The research findings are discussed within the framework of the related literature.
The goal of this study is to investigate the relation of self-esteem, hopelessness and communication skill; while testing self-esteem as an intermediary variable. The research, designed in survey model, has been conducted with preschool teacher candidates. The research group comprises 305 teacher candidates that volunteered for the research. According to the findings of the research, teacher candidates’ self-esteem is negatively correlated with their level of hopelessness and positively correlated with their communication skills. On the other hand, the relation between their level of hopelessness and communication skill is a negative correlation. According to the results of regression analysis, hopelessness, along with self-esteem, explain 31.6% of communication skill. Furthermore, another very important finding of the regression analysis is that teacher candidates’ self-esteem plays a complete intermediary role in the relation between their level of hopelessness and their communication skill. Implications of the findings are discussed in the light of the related literature. Keywords: Self-esteem, hopelessness, communication skills, preschool teacher candidates
