Okul Öncesi Çocukların Oyunlara Yansıttıkları Sorunların Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

In this study, the opinions of the teachers about the problems that the preschool children reflect on the games were investigated. Research has been based on phenomenological (qualitative) design from the qualitative research methods. The study group was selected according to convenience sampling based on the purposive sampling in non-probabilty sampling methods. The study group consists of 19 teachers who work in preschool institutions affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Mus city. The data were collected via semi-structured interview forms. In this framework semi-structured interviews were carried out with teachers and the data obtained were subjected to content analysis. According to the results obtained in the research, teachers thought that children reflect various problems in their games. Teachers thought that the education of the parents is effective in the problems that the students reflect on their games. Theachers also thought that children who were cared by their families have improved themselves in terms of self-confidence when playing games. Teachers thought that the behavior of children in their games is indirect or directly influenced from the income situation of the parents. They stated that it would be more effective to give them duties and responsibilities in order to socialize and activate children more in games and also to support this situation with material spiritual reinforcements. In this context, it can be suggested that teachers follow different sources and studies in which they develop themselves in terms of classroom management. In rural areas it may be suggested to undertake joint project studies on family education with the participation of experts from the Ministry of National Education, psychological counseling and guidance and preschool education, under the leadership of universities. It can be suggested to arrange to work on school day as a family-child-teacher play day on a day or a day of the week and more attention can be given to group games as well.
