PROBLEMS OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: A SCALE DEVELOPMENT STUDY
Yazar(lar): Gözde ÖNER ÖZASLAN, Erkan ATALMIŞ
Eser, okul öncesi eğitimin çocuk gelişimi ve toplumsal ilerleme için taşıdığı stratejik önemi merkeze alarak okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında karşılaşılan sorunları sistematik biçimde görünür kılmayı amaçlar. Giriş ve kuramsal bölümler; okul, aile ve çevre etkileşimini; okul öncesi eğitimin amaç, ilke ve kazanımlarını; fiziksel çevre–sınıf düzeni–bahçe olanakları, yönetim süreçleri ve yöneticilik yeterlikleri, öğretmen niteliği ve mesleki destek, öğretim süresinin sürekliliği, destek personeli ve aile katılımı/ev ziyaretleri gibi belirleyici boyutları kapsamlı bir literatür taraması eşliğinde çerçeveler. Bu zemin üzerinde kitap, alan yazında yaygın bir boşluğa işaret ederek kurumların sorun alanlarını tanılamaya dönük özgün bir ölçme aracı geliştirir; problem alanlarını haritalandıran ölçek boyutlarıyla hem uygulayıcılara (yönetici-öğretmen) hem de politika yapıcılara eyleme dönük bir rehber sunar. Son bölümler, okul öncesi kurumların fiziksel kalite standartları, iletişim ve aile katılımı mekanizmaları, okul iklimi ve liderlik başlıklarında iyileştirme için öneri setleri derler; böylece kurumların öğrenme ortamı kalitesini, çocukların okula hazırlık ve esenlik düzeylerini artırmaya yönelik somut yol haritaları ortaya konur.

PROBLEMS OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: A SCALE DEVELOPMENT STUDY
Authors: Gözde ÖNER ÖZASLAN, Erkan ATALMIŞ
Positioning early childhood education as a cornerstone of child development and social progress, this book surfaces the recurring problem areas within pre-school education institutions and offers a structured roadmap for improvement. The theoretical chapters synthesize research on school–family–community relations and outline the aims and principles of pre-schooling, while unpacking critical dimensions such as the physical environment and classroom layout (including outdoor spaces), school leadership and administrative processes, teacher capacity and professional support, continuity of instructional time, auxiliary staff, and parental involvement/home visits. Against this backdrop, the volume addresses a notable gap in the literature by introducing a purpose-built diagnostic scale that maps institutional problem domains and translates them into actionable guidance for practitioners and policymakers alike. The concluding sections consolidate quality standards for settings, mechanisms for parent–school communication, and leadership/ climate levers, yielding practical recommendations to enhance the learning environment, boost children’s school readiness and well-being, and guide evidence-informed institutional development.
Target Readership:
Pre-school teachers and leaders; local/national education authorities and inspectors; school improvement and quality-assurance teams; guidance/counseling units; education-policy specialists; faculties of education and researchers.
Keywords:
Early childhood education; institutional problems; scale development; physical environment; school climate; educational leadership/management; parental involvement; support services.
