Erken Çocukluk Döneminde Geçiş ve Geçiş Süreci

Öz

Son yıllarda erken çocukluk döneminde geçiş, üzerinde önemle durulan konular arasında yer almaktadır. Erken çocukluk döneminde geçiş ev ortamından okula geçiş, kurumlar arası geçiş ve sınıf içerinde etkinlikler arası geçiş şeklinde yer değiştirme olarak yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada geçiş ve geçiş sürecinin tanımlaması yapılarak, geçiş ilkeleri ve geçiş sürecinin önemi incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca geçişin kuramsal çerçevesi ve geçiş sürecini etkileyen faktörler ayrıntılı olarak ele alınmıştır. Geçiş konusu ilgili kuramsal çerçevede ekolojik bakış açısı ve sistem yaklaşımı bağlamında ele alınarak geçiş sürecinin destekleyici noktalarına değinilmiştir. Çocuğun bireysel özellikleri, aile, öğretmen, okul ve yönetim öğelerinin geçiş sürecini etkileyen faktörler olarak görülmektedir. Erken çocukluk dönemindeki geçiş basamakları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda anasınıfına ve ilkokula geçiş sürecinde yürütülecek planlamalara ve uygulamalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
