ANASINIFINDA ZİHİN HARİTASININ ÖĞRETİM AMAÇLI KULLANIMI

Abstract

Bu çalışma, öğrencilerin kavram aanlayışlarını geliştirmeye yardımcı olan zihin haritalarının okulöncesi dönemde kullanılmasını ele almaktadır. Araştırmada amacı anasınıfı düzeyinde öğrencilerin görsel içerikli bir kitabı zihin haritası yoluyla ne kadar kavradıklarını ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma, Ankara Gazi Üniversitesi Vakfı Özel Okulları 2014-2015 eğitim–öğretim dönemi güz yarı yılında okulun iki anasınıfı (A/B) şubesinde bulunan toplam 34 öğrenci üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada var olan durum bağlı bulunduğu çevre içinde ele alındığından ve bu çevre içinde bilinmeyen sonuçlar açıklanmaya çalışıldığından bu araştırma nitel araştırma olma özelliği göstermektedir. Araştırma sonucunda zihin haritasının okul öncesi dönemde anasınıfı düzeyinde de öğrenmeyi desteklediği, zihin haritası kullanımının bu dönem için de uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Bu doğrultuda anasınıfı düzeyinde de kavrama becerilerini geliştirmede zihinharitası kullanmanın faydalı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmış, başka öğretiler içinde zihin haritalarının kullanılabileceğine yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur

INSTRUCTIONAL USE OF MIND MAP in KINDERGARTEN

Abstract

This study is performed to test the employability of mind maps, which helps to enhance students‟ comprehension, in pre-school environments. Objective of the study is to present how much preschool level students comprehend a visual course book using mind maps. The study has been conducted in Ankara Gazi University Foundation Private Schools in 2014-2015 academic years, autumn term with a total of 32 students attending nursery class (branches A/B). Since the circumstance present in the study is handled within the environment it is linked to and it tries to explain some consequences not known before within the relationship amongst them, this study is proven to be a qualitative research. As the result of the study, it was observed that use of mind maps also supports learning in pre-school level and it is feasible for this age group. Accordingly, it was inferred that use of mind maps in pre-school level is helpful to develop comprehension skills and suggestions were made for other disciplines on employing mind maps
