A Descriptive Study on the Play Contents of Children Aged Five-Six Attending Kindergarten
Öz
The
study was carried out for the purpose of making descriptively review over play
contents of children aged five-six attending kindergarten. In line with this purpose,
children’s plays were examined in terms of the number of the persons in the
play, the materials that they used in their play, the types of roles they took,
the problems that they faced and the kinds of play in cognitive and social
terms. This study, based on the case study design from qualitative research
methods, was conducted with 20 girls and 20 boys, and thus 40 kindergarten children
in total. Data was
collected through unstructured observation and descriptive analysis was used to
analyze the data. As a
result of the study, it was observed that the learning centers widely used by
girls and boys were the center of dramatic play and block center, and also the
most preferred toys were kitchen materials and baby dolls for girls while the
most preferred toys were cars and balls for boys. In dramatic plays, it was
noted that the mother-child roles in girls’ and drivers-police roles in boys’
were mostly chosen. Although it was seen partially more in girls’ play, it has
been observed that problems such as not to share toys, not sharing roles, not
choosing a play, and not ending play were experienced in boys’ and girls’
plays. It was stated that the problems experienced in the plays were 30% -35% among
girls and 20% -25% among boys. It has been concluded that girls and boys play
mostly group plays and dramatic plays, and then constructin-building plays. It
has emerged that relevant people and institutions should have the knowledge and
experience in bringing children together with play processes including
diversified play experiences with an egalitarian approach.
