Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2024-2025 eğitim öğretim yılında MEB’e bağlı anaokulu ve anasınıflarında görev yapan 33 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların belirlenmesinde uygun örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi MAXQUDA programı kullanılarak içerik analizi yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda öğretmenlerin çoğunun okulunda proje bilgilendirme toplantısı yapıldığı; tamamının proje uygulama kılavuzunu incelediği, çoğunun projeye aileleri dahil ettiği fakat çoğunun proje kapsamında kurum ve kuruluşlarla iş birliği yapmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin proje kapsamında etkinlik uygulama rehberindeki etkileşimli/paylaşımlı kitap okuma etkinlik türünü daha çok kullandığı; bu etkinlik türünü kullanma nedenleri ise, uygulanabilirliğinin kolay olması, çocukların ilgisini çekmesi, yaş ve gelişim düzeylerine uygun olması olarak belirtilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin proje kapsamında okul öncesi eser listesindeki kaynaklardan en çok “365 Gün Öykü Kitabını” ve “Eğitime Erken Eğitimle Başla: EÇE Projesi kapsamında hazırlanan öykü kitaplarını” kullandıkları; kültürel öğeler kapsamında Türk bayrağı, halı dokuma aleti, kıyafet ve eşya tanıtımı, bilmece, mani, masal, ninni, şiir, destan, türkü, dans, deyim ve atasözleri tanıtımı öğelerini kullandıkları belirtilmiştir. KW - Richness of our language project KW - preschool teacher KW - MAXQDA N2 - The aim of the study is to examine the experiences of preschool teachers about the “The Richness of Our Language Project”. Case study method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The study group of the research consists of 33 preschool teachers working in kindergartens and nursery schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the 2024-2025 academic year. Convenient sampling method was used to determine the participants. A structured interview form prepared by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. The data were analyzed by content analysis method using MAXQUDA program. As a result of the study, it was determined that most of the teachers held a project information meeting at their schools, all of them examined the project implementation guide, most of them included families in the project, but most of them did not cooperate with institutions and organizations within the scope of the project. Teachers mostly used the interactive/shared book reading activity type in the activity implementation guide within the scope of the project; the reasons for using this activity type were stated as being easy to implement, attracting children's attention, and being suitable for their age and developmental levels. Within the scope of the project, teachers mostly used “365 Days Storybook” and "Start Education with Early Education: ECE Project"; and within the scope of cultural elements, they used the Turkish flag, carpet weaving tools, introduction of clothes and objects, riddles, mani, fairy tales, lullabies, poems, epics, folk songs, dances, idioms and proverbs.
