Abstract

Bu araştırmada, erken okuryazarlık becerileri eğitim programının okul öncesi dönemindeki çocukların erken okuryazarlık ve erken matematik becerileri üzerindeki etkilerinin incelemesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma grubunu, 2017–2018 eğitim-öğretim yılında Karabük il merkezinde Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı Aydınlıkevler İlkokulu’nda anasınıfına devam eden toplam 38 çocuk oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada ön test-son test, kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, deney grubundaki çocuklara erken okuryazarlık becerileri eğitim programı uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubundaki çocuklar ise sınıf öğretmenleriyle normal eğitimlerine devam etmişlerdir. Uygulama sonrası son testler uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında, Erken Okuryazarlık Becerilerini Değerlendirme Aracı ile Erken Matematik Yeteneği Testi-3 (TEMA-3) kullanılmıştır. Deney grubuna araştırmacı tarafından uygulanan “Erken Okuryazarlık Becerileri Eğitim Programı’nın çocukların erken okuryazarlık ve erken matematik becerileri üzerinde olumlu etkisinin olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir

The Impact of Early Literacy Skills Curriculum on Early Literacy and Mathematics Skills1

Abstract

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of the early literacy skills curriculum on preschool children's early literacy and early mathematics skills.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study group included 38 kindergarten children attending Aydınlıkevler Public Primary School in Karabuk urban center, Turkey, during the 2017-2018 academic year. The study was conducted with a pretest- posttest, quasi-experimental design with a control group methodology. In the study, the early literacy skills curriculum was implemented in the instruction of experimental group children. The regular curriculum was used in the control group instructed by classroom teachers. Post-test was applied after the application. Early Literacy Skills Assessment Tool and The Test of Early Mathematics Ability-3 (TEMA-3) were used to collect the study data.
Findings: It was concluded that the "Early Literacy Skills Curriculum" employed in the experimental group by the author had a positive effect on the early literacy and mathematics skills of the children.
Highlights: As a result of the study, it was designated a relationship between phonemic awareness ability and writing awareness ability and early mathematics skills.
