In this study it was aimed
to reveal impact of the Father Training Program applied to the fathers with
children attending the Pre-school education on the father-child relations. The father
of the children who were showing a normal developmental phase attending the
kindergartens runned by the Ministry of National Education in the centre of
Kilis Province in Turkey have been included in this study (40 experimental and
40 control, totally 80 fathers). The study was conducted in experimental design
with pre-test, post-test,-retentivity control group. The fathers in
experimental group received the Father Training Program once a week for twelve
weeks. The fathers in control group were not given any training program at all.
In the study, the scale called “The Scale for Parents -Child Relations– Father
Form” adapted into Turkish by Uzun and Baran was used. Covariant analysis with
one factor (ANCOVA) and t test are used to analyse the data. After the study,
as a result of the educational program given, it was observed that there is
statistically significant differences between the father’s level of relations
with their children in experimental group and the fathers in control group
(p<.01). It is seen that the difference between average point of the
pre-test-post-test-retentivity of the fathers in experimental group (p>.01)
is insignificant and that the effects of Father Training Program is still going
on.
