                            <p>The aim of the study is to examine the roles of teachers in the context of teacher-child-initiated interactions during playtime. The participants, determined by the purposeful sampling method, consist of eight volunteer teachers. The case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred in the study. The data collection tool of the research is the observation record form created by the researcher according to the purpose of the study. Data were collected through observations made three times in the teachers&#039; classroom. Content analysis method was used in data analysis. As a result of the study, it’s seen that teachers mostly tend to the evaluation role. Another role that teachers prefer to adopt is the irrelevant role that they are indifferent to their games. The mediator role that teachers use in conflict situations is another frequently used role. Apart from these three roles, help, guidance and permission used by teachers in their interactions are frequently preferred within the scope of other roles. It has been observed that teachers rarely use the designer role. In addition, the observer role that the teacher is expected to use and clearly emphasized by the program has not been sufficiently implemented in the classrooms.</p></trans-abstract>

Amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen katılımcılar gönüllü sekiz öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın veri toplama aracı, araştırmacı tarafından çalışmanın amacına göre oluşturulmuş gözlem kaydı formudur. Bu doğrultuda sekiz öğretmenin her birinin sınıfında üçer kez yapılan gözlemler yoluyla veriler toplanmıştır. Veri toplama süreci sonunda düzenlenen veriler, içerik analizi yoluyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, öğretmenlerin en çok çocuğa çalışmaları hakkında geri bildirim verdiği değerlendirme rolüne yöneldiği görülmektedir. Öğretmenlerin benimsemeyi tercih ettiği bir diğer rol ise oyunlarına kayıtsız kaldığı ilgisiz roldür. Öğretmenlerin anlaşmazlık durumlarında çözüm üretmeye yönelik destek verdiği arabulucu rolü bir diğer sık kullanılan rol kapsamındadır. Bu üç rol dışında öğretmenlerin etkileşimlerinde kullandığı yardım, rehberlik ve izin diğer roller kapsamında sıklıkla tercih edilmektedir. Çocuklar öğrenme merkezinde çalışmalarını yaparken etkinliği zenginleştirme gücü sağlayan tasarımcı rolünü öğretmenlerin nadiren kullandığı gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca çocuğun gelişimini değerlendirme ve planlama sürecini etkili hale getirmede öğretmenin kullanması beklenen ve programın açık şekilde vurguladığı gözlemci rolü de yeterince sınıflarda hayat bulamamıştır.</p></abstract>
