“…This scale has been re-adapted by the researchers according to the purpose of the researchers. The problem-solving scale in Science Education was developed by Unal and Aral (2014) and the validity and reliability studies were carried out. The questions are also related to science and natural phenomena and the games played by students, which include three open-ended questions.…”

Children curiously and instinctively ask questions about how, what and why about their environment. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of early childhood water games on the development of STEM skills. The study group consisted of 21 students of fifth grade of a primary school in İstanbul, Maltepe. In the research, water games related to swimming and stinging were played from salvation from desert island, and answers from the children such as let us do submarine, rainbow sherbet and let us carry the water. After the evaluation of the research data, the effect of the water games on the development of STEM skills was determined. In a study related to swimming and stinging in early childhood, children expressed that they found the swimming and stinging experience enjoyable. This paper recommends other researchers to work on different topics and in different age groups within the scope of the contribution of the games to the development of STEM skills. Keywords: STEM, games, early childhood, Skills, water.

“…The scale has two subscales, the first subscale is "Science and Nature Problems (SNP -9 items)", and the second subscale is "Material Usage Problems (MUP-7 items). The fit of the scale whose internal consistency coefficient is "0.75" between the people performing the independent evaluation was determined as "0.69" and its test retest correlation coefficient was measured as "0.96" (Unal and Aral, 2014a).…”

“…In addition, how these barriers can be overcome is another problem for the individual. Problems are not only new but they are also unknown conditions (Bingham, 1983;Morgan, 1982;Serin, Serin and Saygili, 2010;Unal and Aral, 2014a). Individuals have to find solutions for this new and unknown situation namely problems they encounter (Ozbay, 2002).…”

“…In a nutshell, the ability to solve interpersonal problems is a skill which must be supported during preschool period and its effects last lifelong (Akbaş, 2005;Aksüt, 2015;Anlıak & Dinçer, 2005;Bal, 2018;Emir, 2016;Kaçar, 2016;Karayol, 2016;Mercan, 2019;Oğuz, 2012). In literature, there are scientific proofs that show children can acquire this skill from the age of 4 (Shure, 2001;Ünal & Aral, 2014). A great deal of studies have been conducted about interpersonal problem-solving skills during preschool period in our country and abroad (Alemdar Coşkun, 2016;Anlıak & Dinçer, 2005;Anlıak & Şahin, 2010;Aras, 2018;Bal, 2013;Dalkılıç, 2014;Dilber, 2015;Dinçer & Guneysu, 1997Domitrovich, Cortes, & Greenberg, 2007;Emir, 2016;Işıktekiner, 2014;Kaan, 2013;Kargı, 2009;Kaytez & Kadan, 2016;Keçecioğlu, 2015;Kesicioğlu, 2015;Koruklu & Yılmaz, 2010;Mercan, 2019;Mermer, 2017;Öğülmüş & Kargı, 2015;Özdil, 2008;Shure 1992a;Tangül Özcan, 2007;Türköz, 2007;Yoleri, 2014).…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Myrna Shure (1992) tarafından geliştirilen Ben Sorun Çözebilirim (BSÇ) Programının 4-5 yaşlarındaki çocuklar üzerindeki etkililiğini incelemektir. Bu program çocukların düşünme becerilerini geliştirmeye yönelik olarak tasarlanmıştır. Programın en önemli özelliği, çocuklara sorun çözmeye ilişkin karar verme sürecinde ne yapacaklarını ya da düşüneceklerini değil, nasıl düşüneceklerini öğretmesidir. BSÇ 25 yılı aşkın çalışmaların sonucunda elde edilmiş kapsamlı ve uygulanması uluslararası düzeyde desteklenen bir programdır. Araştırma modeli, ön test-son test deney kontrol gruplu desene dayalı bir araştırmadır. Deney ve kontrol grubu, Balıkesir'de bir devlet anaokuluna devam eden 34 çocuktan oluşmaktadır. Deney grubunda yer alan çocuklara araştırmacı tarafından 5 ay süreyle 59 dersten oluşan Kişiler Arası Sorun Çözme Becerileri Eğitimi Programının okul öncesi çocuklar için geliştirilen formunun Türkçesi uygulanmış ve "Okul Öncesi Çocuklar İçin Kişiler Arası Sorun Çözme Testi" veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Deney ve kontrol gruplarında yer alan çocukların ön test puanlarının arasındaki farkın anlamlılığını test etmek için bağımsız örneklemler t testi yapılmıştır. Deney ve kontrol gruplarının ön test son test puan ortalamalarının anlamlılığını test etmek için Karışık Desenler için Varyans Analizi tekniği uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada BSÇ eğitimi alan çocukların kişiler arası sorun çözme beceri puanlarının kontrol grubuna oranla anlamlı bir şekilde yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bulgu BSÇ programının çocukların kişiler arası sorun çözme becerileri üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir.
