Özet

Araştırmanın temel amacı; okul öncesi eğitime devam eden çocukların akran ilişkilerinin okula uyum değişkenleri üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu, KKTC’nin Lefkoşa kazasında okul öncesi eğitime devam eden, 5 yaş grubundan 121 çocuk 63 kız %52.1 , 58 erkek %47.9 oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak Ladd ve Profile Çocuk Davranış Ölçeği, akran seçimine dayalı sosyometri tekniği ile 5-6 Yaş Çocukları için Okula Uyum Öğretmen Değerlendirme Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ladd ve Profilet Çocuk Davranış Ölçeği ile 5-6 Yaş Çocukları için Okula Uyum Öğretmen Değerlendirme Ölçeği okul öncesi eğitimi öğretmenleri tarafından doldurulmuştur. Akran seçimine dayalı sosyometri tekniği, çocuklara bireysel olarak uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre akran ilişkileri değişkenlerinden sosyal etki, sosyal tercih, aşırı hareketlilik, sosyal olmayan davranış, olumlu sosyal davranış, dışlanma, kaygılı-korkulu olma ve saldırganlık, okula uyum değişkenlerinden en az birini yordamaktadır.
