Awareness of Early Childhood Education Stakeholders on Social-Emotional Well-Being and the Emotion Coaching Approach: A Needs Analysis Study

Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct a needs analysis to determine the awareness and requirements of early childhood education stakeholders regarding social-emotional well-being and the emotion coaching approach. Within this analysis, the case study model, one of the qualitative research methods, was employed. The research was conducted during the 2022-2023 academic year in public and private early childhood education institutions across 12 different regions classified in the statistical regional classification of the Ministry of Development (2013). The study involved 21 preschool teachers, 27 school principals/administrative staff, 26 auxiliary staff, and 19 parents of preschool-aged children. As for the data collection tools, a "Volunteer Stakeholder Identification Form" was used to select participants for focus group discussions, and a "Semi-Structured Focus Group Interview Form" was utilized. The data obtained through these tools were analyzed using the content analysis method. The findings revealed that participants struggled to define the emotion coaching approach and the sub-dimensions of social-emotional well-being. Participants stated that they lacked sufficient knowledge and practical skills regarding these concepts. Additionally, the results indicated a need to enhance awareness of the impact of emotion coaching and social-emotional well-being on individuals' daily lives and social relationships.
