Abstract

Supporting the social-emotional development of children in the preschool period is of critical importance for children in terms of learning, behavior, and social acceptance. For this reason, supporting the social-emotional development of preschool children by teachers is very important in terms of children's development and learning processes. In recent years, there are many preventative and remedial strategies and intervention approaches that have been proven by research to support the social-emotional development and learning processes of young children. One of these intervention approaches is the Pyramid Model. In this study, it is aimed to introduce the Pyramid Model, which is one of the preventive intervention programs developed to support the social-emotional development of children in the preschool age group and to prevent problem behaviors. For this reason, all aspects of the Pyramid Model, which is pedagogically compatible with the curriculum and functioning in this context, are discussed in this study. It is thought that the introduction of the Pyramid Model will guide early childhood studies that aim to support the social-emotional development of young children in the national literature.

Küçük Çocukların Sosyal-Duygusal Gelişiminin Desteklenmesinde Piramit Modeli

Abstract

Okul öncesi dönemde çocukların sosyal-duygusal gelişiminin desteklenmesi çocuklar için öğrenme, davranış ve sosyal kabul açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle öğretmenler tarafından okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların sosyal-duygusal gelişimlerinin desteklenmesi, çocukların gelişimi ve öğrenme süreçleri açısından oldukça önemlidir. Son yıllarda küçük çocukların sosyal-duygusal gelişimini ve öğrenme süreçlerini desteklemeye yönelik önleyici ve iyileştirici nitelikte, etkililiği araştırmalar tarafından kanıtlanmış birçok strateji ve müdahale yaklaşımı bulunmaktadır. Bu müdahale yaklaşımlarından biri de Piramit Modelidir. Bu çalışmada, okulöncesi yaş grubundaki çocukların sosyal-duygusal gelişimlerini desteklemek ve problem davranışlarını önlemek amacıyla geliştirilen önleyici müdahale programlarından biri olan Piramit Modelinin tanıtılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmada, müfredat programlarıyla pedagojik açıdan uyumlu olan ve bu bağlamda işlevsellik gösteren Piramit Modelinin aşamaları tüm yönleriyle ele alınmaktadır. Piramit Modelinin tanıtılmasının ulusal alanyazında küçük çocukların sosyal-duygusal gelişimlerini desteklemeyi hedefleyen erken çocukluk dönemi araştırmalarına yol göstereceği düşünülmektedir.
