Abstract

Esasen, kişinin bir şeye karşı tepkisini ortaya koyarken mevcut duruma göre değerlendirmeler yaparak en uygun seçeneği seçmesine yardım eden öz düzenleme becerisi; bilişsel ve sosyal-duygusal gelişimlerin göstergesi olarak duyguların, düşüncelerin, tutumların ve davranışların kontrol edilmesi kabiliyeti olup bir çeşit özdenetim veya duygu düzenlemesi olarak kendini gösterir. Bu bağlamda, oyuncaklar eşliğinde gerçekleşen öğrenme ve keşfetme sürecini içeren 0-6 yaş (0-72 ay) okul öncesi dönem çocuğunun duygu ve düşünceleri ile tutum ve davranışlarını amaçla bütünleşik bir biçimde düzenleyebilmesine katkı yapan öz düzenleme becerisi, çocukta kendini fark etmeye yaslanan benlik algısı edinimi ile kendine güven duyarak sosyalleşmesi açısından önemli bir yetkinliktir. Bu çalışmada, ahşap oyuncak kategorizasyonu bünyesinde yer alan “Kukla, Çalgı Aleti, Paytak, Sallanan At” kategorisi oyuncakları itibariyle eğitici ahşap oyuncakların okul öncesi çocuğunda öz düzenleme becerisine olan katkılarının açıklanmasına çalışılmıştır.

Impact of Educational Wooden Toys to Self-Regulation Skills in Preschool Children with Examples of “Puppet, Musical Instruments, Wading, Rocking Horse”

Abstract

Self-regulation skills, which help a person choose the most appropriate option by making evaluations according to the current situation when presenting his or her reaction to something, are essentially the ability to control emotions, thoughts, attitudes and behaviors as an indicator of cognitive and social-emotional developments and manifest themselves as a kind of self-control or emotional regulation. In this context, self-regulation skills, which contribute to the ability of preschool children aged 0-6 (0-72 months) to regulate their emotions, thoughts, attitudes and behaviors in an integrated manner, which includes the learning and discovery process carried out with toys, is an important competence in terms of socializing with self-confidence and acquiring a self-perception based on self-awareness. In this study, it was attempted to explain the contribution of educational wooden toys to the self-regulation skills of preschool children by exemplifying toys from the categories of "Puppet, Musical Instruments, Wading, Rocking Horse" within the wooden toy categorization.
