Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine children’s self regulation skill in terms of different variables in early childhood period. Research questions of this study were: (1) What is the level of 48-72 months of age children’s self regulation skill? (2) Is there any significant differeces between 48-72 months of children’s self regulation skill according to age? (3) Is there any significant differeces between 48-72 months of children’s self regulation skill according to gender? (4)Is there any significant differeces between 48-72 months of children’s self regulation skill according to order of birth? (5) Is there any significant differeces between 4872 months of children’s self regulation skill according to mothers’ education level? (6) Is there any significant differeces between 48-72 months of children’s self regulation skill according to fathers’ education level? The sample of the study was 120 children who are 48-72 months of age. Preschool Self Regulation Assessment Tool and Personal Information Form were used to collect the data. Mean and standart deviation scores were calculated to examine the self regulation skill level of children. t test for independent groups was implemented to investigate whether children’s self regulation skill show a significant difference according to age and gender. ANOVA was implemented to investigate whether children’s self regulation skill show a significant difference according to order of birth, mothers’ and fathers’ education level. It was seen that chlidren’s self regulation scores were high on two dimensions of the PSRA (attention/impulse control & positive emotion). It was examined that there is no significant difference between self regulation scores according to gender. 48-60 months of age children positive emotion scores were higher than 60-72months of age children. Children who have older sister/brother have higher attention/impulse control but lower positive emotion scores. Children whose mothers’ education level are high have better attention/impulse control scores. And children whose fathers’ education level are high have better attention/impulse control and positive emotion scores

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların öz düzenleme becerisini çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemektir. Bu amaçla şu araştrma sorularına yanıt aranmaktadır: (1)48- 72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerileri ne düzeydedir? (2)48-72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerinde yaşa göre anlamlı bir fark var mıdır? (3)48-72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerinde cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir fark var mıdır? (4)48-72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerinde doğum sırasına göre anlamlı bir fark var mıdır? (5)48-72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerinde anne öğrenim durumuna göre anlamlı bir fark var mıdır? (6)48-72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerinde baba öğrenim durumuna göre anlamlı bir fark var mıdır? Araştırmaya 120 çocuk dahil edilmiştir. Kişisel bilgi formu ve Okul Öncesi Öz düzenleme Ölçeği veri toplama araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. 48- 72 aylık çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerinin ne düzeyde olduğunu belirlemek amacıyla Okul Öncesi Öz Düzenleme Ölçeği‘nden elde edilen aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapma puanları hesaplanmıştır. Çocuğun yaşının, cinsiyetinin öz düzenleme becerisi üzerinde etkisi olup olmadığını incelemek amacıyla t testi yapılmıştır. Çocuğun doğum sırasının, annesinin öğrenim durumunun ve babasının öğrenim durumunun öz düzenleme becerisi üzerinde etkisi olup olmadığını incelemek amacıyla ilişkisiz örneklemler için tek faktörlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; çocukların öz düzenleme becerisinin dikkat/dürtü kontrolü ve olumlu duygu alt boyutlarında yüksek düzeyde olduğu; öz düzenleme puanlarının cinsiyete gore farklılaşmadığı; abisi/ablası olan çocukların olumlu duygu puanlarının daha düşük, dikkat dürtü puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu; 48-60 aylık çocukların olumlu duygu puanlarının 60-72 aylık çocuklara kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu; anne öğrenim durumunun yüksek olduğu çocukların dikkat/dürtü puanlarının; baba öğrenim durumu yüksek olan çocukların ise hem dikkat/dürtü hem olumlu duygu puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
