Abstract

The purpose of this mixed methods study is to determine whether pre-primary education participation influences the academic achievement of the students in the later years of schooling, based on the results of the Upper-Secondary Education Entrance Exam (TEOG) in Turkey and to convey the reasons for parents to send or not to send their children to pre-primary education by parents’ views. The TEOG exam participants from 7 secondary schools in district of Ula-Muğla in the 2015-2016 school year constitutes the study group of the quantitative part of the study. 12 parents selected among the parents of the students in the quantitative study group constitute the study group for the qualitative part of the study. The quantitative data related to the TEOG scores of the participants were obtained from school records. Qualitative data of the study were obtained from interviews with parents. While descriptive and comparative statistics were employed in the analysis of the quantitative data, content analysis was utilized in the analysis of the qualitative data. The major results of the study are: (1) Pre-primary education participation, whether in rural or urban areas, significantly affects the academic achievement of student in later schooling years. (2) The academic achievement of students is higher for girls than boys regardless of their participation in pre-primary education. (3) The participation in pre-primary education reduces the achievement gap between the gender. (4) Gender is not a significant factor for parents whether or not to send their children to pre-primary education. (5) Parents whose children participated or not participated in pre-primary education are well-aware of the possible benefits of pre-school education.

Özet

Karma yöntemle desenlenen bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi eğitime katılımın öğrencilerin daha sonraki yıllardaki akademik başarılarını etkileyip etkilemediğini Temel Eğitimden Ortaöğretime Geçiş Sınavı (TEOG) sonuçlarına ve ebeveynlerin çocuklarını okul öncesi eğitime gönderme ve göndermeme nedenlerini kendi görüşlerine dayalı olarak belirlemektir. Araştırmanın nicel boyutuna ilişkin çalışma grubunu 2015-2016 eğitim yılında Muğla ili Ula ilçesi sınırları içinde yer alan 7 ortaokuldan TEOG sınavına katılan öğrenciler oluştururken, nitel boyutuna ilişkin çalışma grubunu araştırmanın nicel boyutuna ilişkin çalışma grubunda yer alan 12 çocuğun ebeveyni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın nicel verilerini okul kayıtlarından sağlanan TEOG puanları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın nitel verileri ebeveynlerle yapılan görüşmelerden elde edilmiştir. Nicel verilerin çözümlenmesinde betimsel ve karşılaştırma istatistikleri kullanılmıştır. Nitel veriler ise içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın temel sonuçları: (1) Okul öncesi eğitime katılım ister kırsal ister kentsel yerleşim yerlerinde olsun öğrencilerin akademik başarısını olumlu yönde önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. (2) Öğrencilerin akademik başarıları okul öncesi eğitime katılımdan bağımsız olarak kız öğrenciler lehine daha yüksektir. (3) Okul öncesi eğitime katılım kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasındaki başarı farkını azaltmaktadır. (4) Cinsiyet, ebeveynlerin çocuklarını okul öncesi eğitime gönderip göndermemelerinde belirleyici bir etken değildir. (5) Çocukları okul öncesi eğitimden yararlanan ve yararlanmayan ebeveynler okul öncesi eğitimin olası yararlarının önemli ölçüde farkındadırlar.
