Perceptual development which depends on ability of learning and maturity, is the most important process of mental development. It is commonly believed that the mental development of children is limited due to city life. Children can learn perceptual elements through movement participation. This improves the cognitive development, which triggers kinesthetic, vestibular, balance and tactile input stimuli that contribute to the integration processes in the central nervous system. Children become ready to learn when they develop perceptual and motor skills adequately during maturation and learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the training program implemented with developed educational material (a maze-balance board) for perceptual and motor skills of preschool children. This study used a pre-post experimental design. Seventeen preschool children from a primary public school in the Middle Black Sea Region of Turkey participated in the study. Random assignment of preschool children to the intervention and control group was done. The children in the intervention group attended a perceptual-training program of 17 to 22 sessions implemented with the maze-balance board. Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST II) was used to perform the developmental assessment of children. Mixed Model ANOVA was conducted for statistical analyses. A significant interaction was found in language development and gross motor development, showing that supporting perceptual motor skills in preschool children has significantly contributed to the development of language and gross motor skills in this study.

In this research, it is aimed to examine the studies carried out for the resource room service in Turkey. For this research, Google Scholar, Tübitak Ulakbim and Yök Thesis Center databases were searched using the keywords support training room, resource room. Within the framework of the screening, 38 studies that met the criteria were included in the scope of the study. The research was designed as a systematic compilation in order to examine in depth the studies carried out for the support education room service. As a result of this research, it is seen that there are in-service training for teachers and hardware deficiencies in the field where the application will be made in the studies conducted for the resource room. In addition, it has been concluded that the resource room service is a useful application for the students who benefit from this service despite all the problems experienced.

Öz. Bireyler hayatlarının bazı dönemlerinde çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı gerçekleştirmeleri gereken bazı eylemlerden uzak kalabilirler. Bireylerin en temel eylemlerinden biri de eğitim sürecidir. Bireyleri hayata hazırlayan eğitim süresi boyunca devamlılığın sağlanması oldukça önemli bir faktördür. Okula devamlılığın sağlanamaması durumları dış sebeplerden kaynaklı olabileceği gibi bireyin kendisinden kaynaklı sorunlar da yaşanabilir. Okula devamlılığı etkileyen faktörler ulaşım, ekonomi ve sağlık şeklinde sıralanabilir. Bireylerin sağlık durumu okula devamlılığı doğrudan etkileyen bir faktör olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sağlık sorunu yaşayan bireylerin tedavi gördükleri süre boyunca okula devam edememesi evde eğitim uygulamasını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Sağlık sorunu nedeniyle tedavi süresince okula devam edemeyen bireyin evde ve gerek görüldüğünde hastanede eğitimine devam edilmesi olarak karşımıza çıkan bu uygulama çözüm niteliğindedir. Evde eğitim uygulaması her ne kadar çözüm niteliğinde olsa da kendi içinde ders aracı eksikliği, ulaşım, öğretmen görevlendirme ve personel eksikliği gibi sorunlar barındırmaktadır. Okul eğitiminden farkı açık olan bu uygulamanın çözüm bekleyen yanlarına bakarak bir model arayışı olduğunu görebiliriz.
