My Dream Playground: An Examination of Preschool Children's Perceptions of Playgrounds Through Their Interviews and Drawings
Öz
The purpose of the study is to examine preschool children's perceptions of playgrounds through their verbal expressions and drawings. Designed using a phenomenological approach, the study involved 100 children selected through criterion sampling method. Data were collected through information forms, interviews and children's drawings and analyzed using content analysis. In the study, it was determined that children usually go to playgrounds with their parents once a week. Children stated that they felt happy and excited in playgrounds, where they often used slides, swung and played. They expressed a particular fondness for swings and slides, while also indicating a dislike for repetitive and uniform playground materials. It was observed that, unlike the existing playgrounds, Children’s imaginary playgrounds mostly included amusement park equipment, pools, unusual play equipment and toys. In addition to this, it was found that their drawings included animals, plants, dining areas, sitting areas, a ball pits and different types of ground surfaces, highlighting their diverse expectations and creative visions of play environments.
