Abstract:

 This study aims to develop and support the effective parenting roles of parents who have an active role in raising individuals who will shape the future and add value to their society. In line with this main purpose, a multidisciplinary parent education program based on theory and practice was prepared. The parent education program, which included 16 different trainings, was implemented in the 2021-2022 academic year and lasted 11 weeks. The primary goal of the parent education program was to reach especially disadvantaged groups. The research was conducted in the case study design of the qualitative method. The participants of the study consisted of 29 parents who were selected by criterion sampling technique and had children at the preschool or primary school level. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview form and an observation form created by the researchers. The data obtained were analyzed using the content analysis technique. According to the results of the study, it was seen that the training had effects on parents such as supporting conscious parenting, strengthening communication within the family, encouraging research and reading, increasing self-awareness, providing anger control, increasing family participation activities, transitioning to democratic parenting and improving empathy skills. In addition, it was determined by the parents that the training had reflections on children such as acting in a planned and programmed manner, showing harmonious behaviour, developing scientific research skills and improving self-expression. The results obtained from the observations of the school principal and guidance counsellors indicate that the training had positive effects on students and parents and short and long-term positive reflections on the school environment. The results of the training are discussed in the context of the individual contributions to the parents, the reflections on the children and the effects on the family, children and the immediate environment.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, geleceğe yön verecek ve toplumuna değer katacak bireyleri yetiştirmede etkin role sahip olan anne babaların etkili ebeveynlik rollerini geliştirmek ve desteklemektir. Bu temel amaç doğrultusunda teorik ve uygulamaya dayalı multidisipliner bir ebeveyn eğitim programı hazırlanmıştır. 16 farklı eğitimin yer aldığı ebeveyn eğitim programı 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında uygulanmış ve 11 hafta sürmüştür. Ebeveyn eğitim programında yer alan eğitimlerin özellikle dezavantajlı gruplara ulaşması öncelikli hedef olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma nitel yöntemin durum çalışması deseninde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın katılımcıları ölçüt örnekleme tekniği ile seçilen ve okul öncesi ya da ilkokul kademesinde çocuğu olan 29 ebeveynden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve gözlem formu ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre eğitimlerin ebeveynler üzerinde bilinçli ebeveyn olmayı destekleme, aile içi iletişimi kuvvetlendirme, araştırma ve okumaya sevk etme, kişisel farkındalık düzeyini artırma, öfke kontrolünü sağlama, aile katılımlı aktivitelerde artış, demokratik ebeveynliğe geçiş ve empati yeteneğini geliştirme gibi etkileri olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca eğitimlerin çocuklar üzerinde planlı ve programlı hareket etme, uyumlu davranış gösterme, bilimsel araştırma becerilerini geliştirme ve kendini ifade etmede gelişim gösterme gibi yansımaları olduğu ebeveynler tarafından tespit edilmiştir. Okul müdürü ve rehber öğretmenlerin gözlemlerinden elde edilen sonuçlar ise eğitimlerin öğrenciler ve ebeveynler üzerinde olumlu etkileri ve okul ortamına kısa ve uzun vadeli olumlu yansımaları olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Eğitimlerin sonuçları, ebeveynlere sağladığı bireysel katkılar, çocuklara yansımaları ve aile, çocuklar ve yakın çevre üzerinde oluşturduğu etkiler bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
