Case study research method was used in this study. The sample consists of 50 randomly selected teachers working at pre-schools in Trabzon. The data were collected from the questionnaire developed by the researchers and semi structured interviews carried out with teachers. The data obtained from the questionnaire were presented in a table by calculating the frequency and percentage values. The interviews were analyzed by evaluating the common, similar and different answers given by the teachers. Based on the data, pre-school teachers were found out to have been using explanation, dramatization, models and experiments for their science and nature activities.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, okulöncesi öğretmenlerinin fen ve doğa etkinliklerinde kullandıkları yöntem ve teknikleri belirlemek ve bu uygulamaları yürütürken karşılaştıkları problemleri tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma özel durum yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini Trabzon\'daki anaokullarında görev yapan rast gele seçilmiş 50 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada veriler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen anketten ve öğretmenlerle yürütülen yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlardan toplanmıştır. Uygulanan anketten sağlanan bulgular frekans ve yüzde değerleri hesaplanıp tablo olarak, mülakatlardan elde edilen bulgular ise öğretmenlerin ortak, benzer ve farklı olarak verdikleri cevapların değerlendirilmesi şeklinde analiThe purpose of this study is to determine the methods and techniques used by pre-school teachers in science and nature activities, and the problems faced during the performance of these activities.
