    (Springer, 2021-06-06) Erdoğan, Serap; Haktanır, Gelengül; Kuru, Nalan; Parpucu, Nurbanu; Tüylü, Demet Koç; KURU, NALAN; KOÇ TÜYLÜ, DEMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Erken Çocukluk Eğitimi Programı.; 0000-0003-3536-8238; 0000-0002-6530-3171; GEK-2664-2022 ; EAO-7808-2022
    The qualification of a preschool teacher is one of the important factors that determine the quality of preschool education. To increase the quality in education, teachers should be equipped with the necessary knowledge starting from pre-service training, and in-service training should support the upgrading of their knowledge. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop an e-Mentoring-Based Education Program (e-MENTE:PT) for preschool teachers and to test its effectiveness on their professional development during the in-service support period. The study used a design-based research approach. First, focus group interviews were conducted with one-hundred-and-five preschool teachers to find out their needs. Then, an e-MENTE:PT Program was developed based on these needs and devised to be used on the Canvas learning management system (LMS), which involves all opportunities of e-learning and allows one-to-one e-mentoring. The e-MENTE:PT Program involved twelve modules related to the pedagogical content knowledge of the preschool education program. Each module included contents, goals, module materials, e-books, videos, pre- and post-module evaluation questions, discussion questions, live lessons and e-portfolios, all of which were integrated in the LMS. Next, eighteen full-time and nine substitute voluntary teachers from five different provinces were selected as mentees by means of criterion sampling. Nine academicians working in these provinces acted as mentors and implemented the application, each working with two mentees for two months. Qualitative data were analysed by means of descriptive analysis and quantitative data were analysed by means of the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The research concluded that the e-MENTE:PT program supported preschool teachers' professional knowledge, learning environments and classroom applications, and an e-mentoring based teaching management system was effective on professional development.

    Analysis of the relationship between the social-emotional adaptation and self perception of 5-6 year old children and the problem solving abilities of their mothers and teachers
    (Kamla-raj Enterprises, 2015-04-01) Turasli, Nalan Kuru; KURU, NALAN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Erken Çocukluk Eğitimi Bölümü; 0000-0003-3536-8238; GEK-2664-2022
    The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between children's social adaptation and self-perception levels and the problem solving ability levels of mothers and teachers. This is a surveillance type of study. Sample group consists of 220 children, 220 mothers, and 22 teachers, a total of 462 people. In this study, Heppner's Problem Solving Inventory was used to determine problem solving ability levels of teachers and mothers, the Marmara Social Emotional Adaptation Scale was used to determine social adaptation levels of children, and the Demoulin Self Perception Scale for Children was used to determine the self-perception levels of children. This study found that the problem solving ability of both mothers and teachers has positive impact on children's social adaptation levels. It was also determined that social skills of children are affected by the social skills of adults, whom they take as models.
