Çocukların Okul Ortamındaki Ahlaki ve Sosyal Kuralları Ayırtetme Becerisinin Çeşitli Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi

Bu arastırmada okul dönemindeki çocukların ahlaki, sosyal ve keyfi sosyal kural kavramlarını etkileyen bazı değişkenler incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın bağımlı değişkeni, çocukların ahlaki, sosyal ve keyfi sosyal kural bilgisidir. Bağımsız değişkeni ise yaş ve cinsiyettir. Araştırma çalısma evrenini Konya il Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı özel ve resmi ilköğretim okullarına devam eden 7-12 yaş çocuklar oluşturmuştur. Arastırma örneklemi tesadüfi eleman örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmistir. Her bir okuldan 7-8 yasından 40 çocuk, 9-10 yas grubundan 40 çocuk, 11-12 yas grubundan 40 çocuk olmak üzere toplam 120 çocuk arastırma örneklemi olarak alınmıstır. Çocukların ahlaki, sosyal ve keyfi sosyal kural bilgilerini tespit etmek için Buchanan-Barrow ve Barrett (1998a) tarafından gelistirilen senaryolar kullanılmıstır. Çocukların ahlaki, sosyal ve keyfi sosyal kural bilgileri puan ortalamalarının yas gruplarına göre degisip degismedigini incelemek için Varyans Analizi, cinsiyete göre degisip degismedigini incelemek için ise t Testi kullanılmıstır. Post-hoc test olarak Tukey Testi kullanılmıstır. Arastırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiginde yasa ve cinsiyete göre okul dönemindeki çocukların ahlaki kural bilgisinin farklılasmadıgı sosyal ve keyfi sosyal kural bilgisinin ise farklılastıgı görülmektedir.

The Research of Children's Skills of Differing Moral and Social Rules According to Some Variables in School Environment

In this study it was investigated variables which effected moral, social and arbitrary social rule concepts of children at the school age. The dependent variable of the study was children’s knowledge of moral, social and arbitrary social rules and the independent variables were age and gender. The sample of this study consisted of children at the age of 7-11 who were enrolled in private and state primary schools which were dependent on Konya Local National Education Authority. The participant childrens in this study were taken through the random sampling. From each school, 40 students from 7-8 age group, 40 students from 9-10 age group and 40 students from 11-12 age group were taken as research sample (totally 120 students). To investigate children’s knowledge of moral, social and arbitrary social rules, it was used the scenarios which were developed by Buchanan-Barrow and Barrett (1998a). Variance Analysis was used to examine whether the average score of children’s knowledge of moral, social and arbitrary social rules changes or not according to age group, t Test was used to examine whether it changes or not according to gender, and Tukey Test was used as post-hoc test. When examined the results of this research, it was understood that the moral rule knowledge of school age children didn’t change according to age and gender, but social and arbitrary social rule knowledge differentiated.
