The purpose of this study is to integrate preschool children into problem-solving activities, which include graphical organizers such as fishbone diagram, brainstorming and flowchart as cognitive tools in an information technology supported environment. Accordingly, a specific software that prepared based on problem-solving and algorithmic thinking in preschool education was used. Case study method was employed in order to state children’s use of graphical organizers, their participation to the classroom interaction and their problem-solving cases. 28 preschool children participated in this study from a public school in Ankara/Turkey. Classroom interaction video records, and flowcharts prepared by children are data collection tools. The results revealed that, problem-solving activities prepared with graphical organizers and ICT-supported environment are appropriate for preschool children.

Değerli Yazarlar,
JCER dergisi 2018 yılından itibaren yayımlanacak sayılarda yazarlarından ORCID bilgilerini isteyecektir. Bu konuda hassasiyet göstermeniz önemle rica olunur.
Önemli: "Yazar adından yapılan yayın/atıf taramalarında isim benzerlikleri, soyadı değişikliği, Türkçe harf içeren isimler, farklı yazımlar, kurum değişiklikleri gibi durumlar sorun oluşturabilmektedir. Bu nedenle araştırmacıların tanımlayıcı kimlik/numara (ID) edinmeleri önem taşımaktadır. ULAKBİM TR Dizin sistemlerinde tanımlayıcı ID bilgilerine yer verilecektir.
Standardizasyonun sağlanabilmesi ve YÖK ile birlikte yürütülecek ortak çalışmalarda ORCID kullanılacağı için, TR Dizin’de yer alan veya yer almak üzere başvuran dergilerin, yazarlardan ORCID bilgilerini talep etmeleri ve dergide/makalelerde bu bilgiye yer vermeleri tavsiye edilmektedir. ORCID, Open Researcher ve Contributor ID'nin kısaltmasıdır. ORCID, Uluslararası Standart Ad Tanımlayıcı (ISNI) olarak da bilinen ISO Standardı (ISO 27729) ile uyumlu 16 haneli bir numaralı bir URI'dir. http://orcid.org adresinden bireysel ORCID için ücretsiz kayıt oluşturabilirsiniz.
