Abstract

AKADEMİK VE SOSYAL DUYGUSAL OKULA HAZIR BULUNUŞLUK İLE ÖZ DÜZENLEME BECERİLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu araştırma, anasınıfına devam eden çocukların akademik ve sosyal-duygusal okula hazırbulunuşluğu ile öz düzenleme becerileri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında; 1) Okul öncesi dönem çocukların kavram bilgi düzeyleri öz düzenleme becerilerine göre farklılık göstermekte midir? 2) Öz düzenleme beceri düzeyleri ile sosyal duygusal okul olgunluğu arasındaki ilişki nedir? sorularına yanıt aranmıştır. Tarama modeline göre tasarlanan araştırmaya, 63’ü (%48.8) kız, 65’i (%50.4) erkek olmak üzere toplam 129 çocuk ve bu çocukların okul öncesi öğretmenleri katılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak, demografik bilgi formu, Boehm Temel Kavramlar Testi, (Balat-Uyanık, 2003), 60-72 Aylık Çocuklar için Sosyal Duygusal Okul Olgunluğu Ölçeği -SDOO (Balat-Uyanık, Değirmenci ve Malıyok, 2017), Öz Düzenleme Becerileri Ölçeği -ÖDBÖ (Bayındır ve Ural, 2016) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, anasınıfına devam eden çocukların hem akademik okula hazırbulunuşluk düzeyleri ve öz düzenleme becerileri arasında, hem de sosyal duygusal okula hazır bulunuşluk düzeyleri ile öz düzenleme becerileri arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, öz düzenleme becerilerinin okula hazırbulunuşluk için önemini ve desteklenmesi gerektiğini bir kez daha ortaya koymuştur.
