Abstract:

 The aim of this study was to examine the coverage of gifted children by the Ministry of National Educations preschool education program. The documents of the preschool education program  Learning outcomes lists and indicators, examples of activities, preschool education introduction text, pre-school education program annex-11 were scrutinized using a descriptive analysis method, and the results were presented in tables. The inclusion status of gifted children in preschool classes was assessed in terms of covering developmental characteristics and meeting their educational needs. The results obtained indicate that the preschool education program only partially addresses the developmental characteristics of children. Moreover, it was found that the educational environments meet the needs of potentially gifted children even more inadequately. Considering that the modifications ad efor gifted children contribute to the developmental and educational needs of all children, the findings in this study suggest a need for further practical research. It is recommended to examine the implementation dimension of the preschool education program, activity plans prepared by teachers and monthly plans.

 ÖZ Bu çalışmada Milli Eğitim Bakalığı MEB okul öncesi eğitim programının özel yetenekli çocukları kapsaması bakımından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Okul öncesi eğitim programının dokümanları Kazanım ve gösterge listeleri, etkinlik örnekleri , okul öncesi eğitim tanıtım metni, okul öncesi eğitim programı ek-11 betimsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiş ve elde edilen bulgular tablolar halinde sunulmuştur. Okul öncesi eğitim sınıflarında bulunan özel yetenekli çocukların kapsanma durumu, gelişimsel özelliklerin kapsanması ve eğitsel ihtiyaçlarının karşılaması olmak üzere iki başlıkta ele alınmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular gelişimsel ihtiyaçlar başlığında incelendiğinde; okul öncesi eğitim programının, çocukların gelişimsel özelliklerini kısıtlı bir şekilde kapsadığına işaret etmektedir. Eğitimsel ihtiyaçları karşılama bakımından incelendiğinde; ortamlarında daha da kısıtlı olarak olası özel yetenekli çocukların ihtiyaçlarının karşılandığı belirlenmiştir. Özel yetenekli çocuklar için yapılan düzenlemelerin tüm çocukların gelişimsel ve eğitsel ihtiyaçlarına katkı sağladığı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, bu çalışmada elde edilen bulgular uygulamaya dönük daha fazla araştırma ihtiyacı olduğunu göstermektedir. Okul öncesi eğitim programının uygulama boyutunun, öğretmenler tarafından hazırlanan etkinlik planları ve aylık planların incelenmesi önerilmektedir.
