Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to examine the effect of the Memory Education Program supported by animations on the phonological, visual-spatial, and semantic memory skills of preschool children. The study group consisted of 40 children aged 61-72 months, attending the kindergartens of two primary schools in the same region of the Ministry of National Education in the Etimesgut district of Ankara province in the 2016-2017 academic year. The research was carried out in a pre-test post-test experimental design with a control group, and one of the schools was randomly selected as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The Memory Training Program supported by animations prepared by the researcher was applied to the experimental group two days a week for ten weeks. The data of this research were collected through the General Information Form and the Memory Battery for Preschool Children. The Memory Battery for Preschool Children was administered to the experimental and control groups as a post-test at the end of the ten-week education program. Four weeks after the post-test application, the battery was re-administered to 20 children in the experimental group to determine whether the training provided was permanent. The distributions of children and families regarding the demographic characteristics are given as frequency and percentage values. Whether there is a difference in the Memory Battery for Preschool Children scores of the children participating in the Memory Education Program at the end of the experiment compared to the children who did not participate in this training; distributions are normal and since the equality of regression slopes for all subtests is provided, ANCOVA has been tested. The t-test for Repeated Measurements was used in the comparison of the post-test and the retention test in the experimental group. The significance level was determined as 0.05. As a result of the findings, it was determined that the Memory Education Program supported by animations had a positive effect on the development of children's phonological, visual-spatial and semantic memory skills, and this effect was permanent.
