This descriptive study aims to determine the value levels of children in the age group
of five-six attending official kindergartens according to teacher views. Target population
of the study consisted of 14.218 children in the age group of five-six attending official
kindergartens in Ankara. Study group consisted of 172 children from the age group of
five, 202 children from the age group of six and a total of 374 children who were selected
with stratified sampling method, which is among random sampling methods. “Family Information
Form” that was developed by the researcher and “Family’s Form for Preschool
Values Scale” that was developed were used in the study. Differences between the groups
were examined by using Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis-H tests for normally distributed
variables. Groups that had significant differences in the Kruskal Wallis-H Test
were determined by using Post-Hoc Multiple Comparison Test. Relations between the
variables that were not normally distributed were examined by using Spearman’s Correlation
Coefficient.
As a result of the study; it was determined that children respectively adopted the
values of; Responsibility, Respect, Cooperation, Honesty, Friendship and Sharing respectively.
The Middle/median and the youngest children value scores were significantly
higher than their first child. The Children with higher educated parents have higher value
scores than the children with lower educated parents. The scores of children in the high
and middle income groups were significantly higher than the scores of the children in the
low income groups. As the children grow older the level of value acquisition increases.
There was no significant relationship between the number of siblings and their parents’
age.
