Abstract

Early childhood education studies draw attention to the importance of the early childhood years for future learning and development, and in particular, literacy development. Thus, early childhood programs, including Head Start, must be prepared and able to support children in their early language and literacy development by creating appropriate experiences and environments. In this study, the early literacy beliefs and practices of four Head Start teachers were examined using qualitative (interviews, early literacy quilt, and documents) method. Tlie data supported a conclusion that a university-school partnership can impact literacy practices. Teachers who were provided with this teacher improvement program and ongoing support changed their practices from the beginning to tlie end of tlie study period. Particularly, the teachers seemed to improve their efforts to meet the early literacy needs of children which were the targeted goal of the study. Also, unlike most previous intervention studies, which resulted İn change to a specific domain or created an impact on a limited behavior, the current improvement effort created more broad-based change. It impacted teachers' beliefs about early literacy, how they arranged their classroom environments, as well their notions of the value of a research partnership with the university. Ensuring tlie high qualifications of teaching staff requires that early childhood programs, including Head Start, devote funding to ongoing professional development. Through such programs teachers can develop their knowledge and competence in supporting all children's early literacy and language development.

Özet

Erken çocukluk araştırmaları erken yaşların gelecekteki gelişim ve öğrenme özellikle de erken-okuma yazma için önemine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu yüzden, okul öncesi eğitim programları Head Start dahil olmak üzere çocukların erken dil ve okuma-yazma gelişimlerini uygun ortamlar ve yaşantılar oluşturarak desteklemelidirler. Bu çalışmada, nitel yöntem kullanılarak dört Head Start program öğretmeninin erken okuma-yazmaya dair inanışları ve uygulamaları incelendi. Veriler üniversite-okul işbirliğinin erken-okuma yazma uygulamalarını etkileyebileceği sonucunu desteklemiştir. Devamlı destek verilen ve geliştirme program uygulanan öğretmenler çalışmanın başından sonuna uygulamalarını değiştirmişlerdir.
