Pozitif Genç Gelişimi Temelli Sınıf Rehberliği Programının İlkokul Öğrencilerinin Yaşam Becerilerine Etkisi

Bu çalışmanın amacı pozitif genç gelişimi temelli sınıf rehberliği programının ilkokul öğrencilerinin yaşam becerilerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma deney-kontrol gruplu, ön-son-izleme testinden oluşan yarı deneysel desende yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu ilkokulda öğrenim gören dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Deney grubuna araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan 24 oturumluk (12 sınıf rehberliği etkinliği ve 12 atölye eğitimi) sınıf rehberliği programı uygulanmıştır. Programın etkililiğini test etmek için Yaşam Becerileri Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları uygulanan programın ilişki ve sosyal ilgiyi içeren her bir alt boyut üzerindeki etkisi, karışık ölçümler için varyans analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularında deney grubunu oluşturan öğrencilerin ilişki (iletişim, çatışma çözme, sosyal beceriler, işbirliği yapma ve farklılıkları yönetme) sosyal ilgi (empati, besleyici ilişkiler, paylaşma ve başkalarıyla ilgilenme) boyutuna ait yaşam becerilerinde artış sağladığını ve bunun izlemede etkisinin devam ettiğini göstermektedir.

The Effects of Positive Youth Development Based Classroom Guidance Program on Life Skills of Primary School Students

This study was conducted to determine whether the positive youth development based classroom guidance program affected life skills of primary school students positively. As a quantitative method, a 2x3 split plot pretest –posttest control group semi-experimental design was used. Participants included the fourth-grade students who are attending a public school in Turkey. The experimental group was given the positive youth development based classroom guidance program (12 weeks classroom guidance, 12 weeks workshop training) developed by the researchers. The Life Skills Scale was utilized to determine the life skill levels of the participants. The effects of the guidance program were analyzed by a mixed design ANOVA (2x3). The findings of the research study indicate that the positive youth development-based guidance program had a significant effect on students’ relationships and social interests. The training program implemented has shown that the participants in the experimental group provide an increase in life skills related to the dimension of relationship (managing differences, resolving conflicts, cooperating, social skills and communication), social interest (involving others, empathy, sharing and nurturing relationships). Additionally, a statistically significant difference was observed between the post-test and follow-up test scores of the students in the experimental group. It was found that the effect continued for a month after the training was given to the experimental group.
