60-72 aylık çocukların erken okuryazarlık becerileri ve görsel algı düzeyleri
Özet
In this research, it is aimed to examine the early literacy skills and visual perception levels of 60-72 month-old children. The study carried out in the relational screening model was conducted in Ankara and the snowball sampling method was used to determine the study group of the research. With this method, the sample of the study consists of 60-72 months old children of 48 families who accepted to participate in the study. The "General Information Form" prepared by the researcher was used as a data collection tool in the study to get general information about children and their families. ''The Test of Early Literacy (TEL)'' developed by Kargın et al (2015) was used to evaluate early literacy skills and in the evaluation of visual perception, ''Frostig Visual Perception Test'' developed by Frostig (1961) and adapted to our culture by Aral and Bütün Ayhan (2016) was used. The data were analyzed through the SPSS program. As a result of the Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov Smirnov normality tests, it was determined that the data did not show a normal distribution, and the Mann Whitney U Test was used for the comparison of binary variables, and the Kruskal Wallis H Test was used to compare three or more variables. Spearman Correlation Coefficient Significance Tests were applied to determine the correlation between the scores obtained from the scales. When the findings related to the correlation were examined, it was found that there was a moderately positive and significant relationship between the The Test of Early Literacy (TEL) total score and Frostig Visual Perception Test Total Score and sub dimensions which are Eye-Motor Coordination, perception of figure-ground, perception of form constancy, perception of position in space, perception of spatial relationships. It was found that there was no relationship between Test of Early Literacy (TEL) Functional Knowledge sub-dimension and the Frostig Visual Perception Test total score and its sub-dimensions. Similarly, it was found that there was no relationship between the listening comprehension sub-dimension of The Test of Early Literacy (TEL) and the Frostig Visual Perception Sub-dimensions and total scores. When The Test of Early Literacy (TEL) sub-dimension and total scores were compared according to independent variables, it was seen that the variables of gender, age (60-66 / 67-72 months), sibling status, duration of preschool education, mother's age, father's age did not cause a significant difference. Moreover, it was determined that the variables of gender, age (60-66 / 67-72 months), sibling status, duration of preschool education, mother's age, father's age did not cause a significant difference in the Frostig Visual Perception Test sub-dimension and total scores of the children
