Abstract

Patterning knowledge and skills help to understand the order of mathematics. The use of patterns in early mathematics learning helps children to abstract and generalize mathematical thinking and relationships. Measuring the skills of children on patterning is a prerequisite for further development in this area, but the number of measurement tools assessing these skills is very limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a test for assessment of the patterning skills of preschool children and to examine its validity and reliability. As a result of the analysis, two different tests, the 26-item long form and 17-item short form, were developed. The results of the current study indicated that these forms produce valid and reliable scores for the assessment of preschoolers’ patterning skills.

Özet

Örüntü bilgisi matematiğin düzenini anlamakta yardımcı olur. Örüntülerin erken matematik öğreniminde kullanımı, matematiksel düşünce ve ilişkilerin soyutlanması ve genellenmesine yardımcıdır. Örüntüler hakkında becerilerin ölçülebilmesi bu alanda yapılacak geliştirme çalışmaları için bir ön koşuldur ancak bu becerileri değerlendiren ölçme araçlarının sayısı çok sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının örüntü becerilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlayan bir testin geliştirilmesi ve bu testten elde edilen puanların geçerlilik ve güvenirliğinin test edilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda 26 maddelik uzun ve 17 maddelik kısa olmak üzere 2 farklı form geliştirilmiş ve bu formların okul öncesi dönem çocukların örüntü becerilerini değerlendirmede geçerli ve güvenilir puanlar ürettikleri ortaya konmuştur.
