Investigation of Early Childhood Number Skills of Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Context of Number Sense

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the number skills of preschool children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in early childhood in relation to number sense. Number skills that begin to develop in early childhood are predictors of future mathematical skills. Therefore, the development of number skills in children with ASD is important for the implementation of effective interventions. This study is a non-experimental descriptive study. Participants were preschool children with ASD attending a special education kindergarten in a province in the Eastern Anatolian region. The TEMA-3 (Test of Early Mathematics Ability-Third Edition) was used to determine the number skills of preschool children with ASD. The raw score, age equivalence, level equivalence, percentage and mathematics ability score in the assessment guide of TEMA-3 were calculated. The results revealed that the participants had different levels of mathematical and numerical skills and that each of them had strengths and weaknesses. In particular, it was observed that the mathematical performance of the children with severe ASD was very low. Early intervention programmes, concrete materials and individualised teaching were recommended to improve the numeracy skills of preschool children with ASD. Family involvement and cooperation is also important. The findings of this study make an important contribution to supporting inclusive approaches to education by raising public awareness. The proposed strategies aim to unlock the mathematical potential of preschool children with ASD and increase their achievement.

Okul Öncesi Dönemdeki Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu Olan Çocukların Erken Çocukluk Dönemi Sayı Becerilerinin Sayı Hissi Bağlamında İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) tanısı olan okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların erken çocukluk dönemindeki sayı becerilerini sayı hissi bağlamında incelemektir. Erken çocukluk döneminde gelişmeye başlayan sayısal beceriler, gelecekteki matematiksel beceriler için temel niteliğindedir. Bu nedenle OSB'li çocuklarda sayı becerilerinin gelişimi etkili müdahalelerin uygulanması açısından önemlidir. Bu araştırmada deneysel olmayan betimsel desen kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki bir ilin özel eğitim uygulama anaokulunda eğitimine devam eden okul öncesi dönemdeki OSB’li çocuklardan oluşmaktadır. Okul öncesi dönemdeki OSB’li çocukların sahip oldukları sayı becerilerinin tespiti için TEMA-3 (Test of Early Mathematics Ability-Third Edition) kullanılmıştır. Çocukların testteki sorulara verdikleri yanıtlara göre TEMA-3 ‘ün değerlendirme esaslarında kullanılan ham puan, yaş denkliği, düzey denkliği, yüzde, matematik yetenek puanı hesaplanmıştır. Bu değerlendirme sürecinde nicel betimsel analiz kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, katılımcıların sayısal becerilere farklı düzeylerde sahip olduğunu ve her birinin güçlü ve zayıf yönlerinin olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle ağır düzeyde OSB tanısına sahip olan katılımcının performansının çok düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Okul öncesi dönemdeki OSB’li çocukların sayısal becerilerini geliştirmek için erken müdahale programları, somut materyaller ve bireyselleştirilmiş öğretim faydalı olabilir. Ayrıca ailelerin katılımı ve iş birliği de önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, toplumsal farkındalığı artırarak eğitimde kapsayıcı yaklaşımları desteklemeye yönelik önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır. Önerilen stratejiler, OSB'li çocukların matematik potansiyellerini ortaya çıkarmayı ve başarılarını artırmayı hedeflemektedir.
