ANASINIFINA GİDEN ÇOCUKLARIN MATEMATİK GELİŞİM DÜZEYLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Bu çalışma, okul öncesi eğitim kurumunda anasınıfına devam eden çocukların matematik gelişim düzeylerinin, matematik içeriği açısından belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma Ankara'da Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı, bağımsız anaokullarına devam eden 60-72 aylar arasında olan 334 çocuk üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çocukların matematik gelişim düzeyleri Matematik Gelişimi 6 Testi (Progress in Math 6) ile ölçülmüştür. Yapılan istatistikler sonucunda çocukların matematik gelişim düzeylerinde "Şekil-Alan-Ölçümler" ve "Veri Analizi" Kategorilerinde başarıları yüksek bulunurken "Sayı" kategorisinde işlemler alt grubunda başarı oranları beklenenden daha düşük düzeyde bulunmuştur.

DETERMINING THE MATHEMATICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN ATTENDING KINDERGARTENS

The current study was carried out to determine the mathematical development levels of children attending a preschool education institution in terms of mathematical content. The research was conducted on 334 children between 60-72 months attending an independent kindergarten. The mathematical development level of children was measured through Progress in Math 6 Test. As a result of the analyses conducted, it was found that the success of the children for "Shapes-Space-Measurements" and "Data Analysis" categories were high in terms of the mathematical development levels of the children, while their success rates were lower than expected in the sub-group of processes at the "Numbers" category.
