“…These are; physical skills and general health status, social-emotional skills, mental skills, self-care skills, and biological age. İn their study, Sahin and Guzel (2018) compared the average scores of the older and younger age group students in terms of numbers compared to the 69 months age group, and they found a significant difference in favor of the older age group with high readiness. Avci (2015) concluded that those receiving pre-school education had higher mathematics skill scores.…”

This study was designed as an action research with the aim of overcoming the deficiencies of a first-grade student with a lower level of readiness in mathematics. The participant of the study was a first grader studying in a public primary school in the district of Haymana, Ankara during the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. The teacher's inclass observations, examination of the students' homework notebooks, and familial interviews were taken into consideration in the selection of the participant. Observations and interviews were conducted as a preliminary study to determine the student's level of readiness for mathematics lessons. İt was seen that there were familial and educational reasons for the students to have difficulty in learning mathematics subjects. İn addition, an action plan was prepared because the student was behind his peers in terms of adaptation to school, literacy, and social development and it was aimed to obtain the first term gains. The study revealed that the student was successful in activities such as rhythmic counting, meaningful counting, one-to-one correspondence, quantity comparisons, addition, and subtraction while his confusion with number conservation remained. As a result of the obtained findings, it is predicted that raising the awareness of parents about the readiness of children of preschool age will positively affect their school success and hinder the problems described here.

“…One of these findings is that there were teachers who stated that there are classrooms with an age difference up to 1.5 years. The previous research studies showed that there is a major difference between age averages in classrooms (Arı, 2014;Doğan, Demir & Pınar, 2014;Cerit et al, 2014;Uzun & Alat, 2014), and there are classrooms which have age differences up to two years (Akbaşlı and Üredi, 2014;Sahin & Guzel, 2018). In many studies, it has been argued that even the age difference spanning up to 12 months can be a serious problem for children (Bedard & Duhey, 2006;Crawford, Dearden & Meghir, 2017;Googlad & Anderson, 1987;Puhani ve Weber, 2005;Sahin & Guzel).…”

“…The physical conditions of schools were not ready for 5-year-old children, and also teachers did not have the experience of working with such young children. Despite the fact that the first week was determined as the orientation week, it did not make the expected impact due to the unreadiness of both children and teachers (Buldu & Er, 2016;Eğitim Bir Sen, 2012;Sahin & Guzel, 2018;Şentürk, 2016).…”

With the introduction of the 4+4+4 education system in 2012, the school starting age has been reduced to 60 months and branch teachers started to attend classes starting from 5th grade. Therefore, in the current study, there are two aims. Firstly it is aimed to determine the opinions and experiences of science teachers having started to teach the 5th graders for the first time in the new education system. Secondly, it is aimed to determine the opinions and experiences of science teachers having started to teach the 5th grader students (including 9 years old) who started school in the 2012-2013 academic year and ranked 5th in 2016-2017. The current research study is a phenomenological study conducted on 22 teachers who taught to 5th graders in the 2016-2017 academic year and also had taught to 5th graders in the previous academic year. The data of the study were collected through semi-structured interviews. As a result of the study, it was determined that science teachers confront a number of difficulties in terms of teaching to 5th graders, and these difficulties increase with the number of students who started to school at an early age in a classroom. The teachers noted that students who start school at an early age are not ready to school both from affective and cognitive aspects. They also stated that they are required to deliver courses by making more activities and concretizing the subjects. As the teachers participating in the study also highlighted, regulating the school starting age to 72 months is important and necessary for both primary and middle school levels.

“…However, it was found that the hand-muscles development of the children who had pre-school education was better than the ones who did not have pre-school education, and the children who had pre-school education got over the adaptation process more easily than the ones who did not have pre-school education. Şahin and Güzel (2018) reached the results that the distribution of the ages of the students who started primary school in the 2012-2013 academic year ranged from 60 months to 84 months, and the students who started primary school before 69 months fell behind in Turkish, Mathematics and Social Studies courses when compared to the ones starting at a later age.…”

Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı İlköğretim Kurumları Yönetmeliği 21/7/2012 tarih ve 28360 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayınlanan genelge ile veli isteği doğrultusunda 60-66 aylık öğrencilerin ilköğretime kaydı yapılabilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı ilkokula veli isteği ile başlayan öğrencilerin (60-66 aylık) yaşadıkları uyum sorunları ile akademik başarılarının, veli ve öğretmen görüşlerine göre tespit edilip, değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu, İstanbul ili Pendik ilçesinde sınıf öğretmeni olarak görev yapan 5 öğretmen ve bu öğretmenlerin sınıfında erken yaşta okula başlayan 5 öğrenci velisinden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış, verilerin analizindede betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre ilkokula erken yaşta başlayan çocukların gelişim özelliklerine bağlı olarak hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğu, çeşitli uyum sorunları yaşadıkları ve buna bağlı olarak akademik başarılarının düşük olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. İlköğretim birinci sınıfa devam eden öğrencilerin gelişim özellikleri açısından benzer ay aralığında olacak şekilde düzenlenmesi, okulöncesi eğitimin yaygınlaştırılması ve ilköğretimde fiziksel aktivite derslerinin arttırılması gibi uygulamalar, yaşanan sorunların çözümünde katılımcılar tarafından önerilmiştir.
