“…Başçı and Dilekmen (2009) argue that most of the elementary school teachers try to establish discipline in the classroom through physical punishment. Many studies in the literature also show that teachers are verbally warned children by using the first type of punishment against undesirable behavior (Akgün, Yarar & Dinçer, 2011;Dobbs-Oates, Arnold, & Doctoroff, 2004;Günay, 2005;Sadık, 2004). Another striking finding of the present study is the difference between the opinions of the teacher and the children regarding the behaviors of the teacher when the class rules are not followed.…”

The aim of the study is to determine experiences of children attending a preschool class and their teacher about class rules, desirable and undesirable behaviors and strategies followed by the teacher concerning these behaviors. The study is a case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The participants were 14 children attending a class for 5 year-olds in an independent kindergarten and the teacher of the class. Semi-structured interview technique was used in the study. In addition, in two of the questions in the interview, the students were asked to draw pictures to help them describe their experiences in more detail. The data in the study were analyzed by content analysis, categorized by coding, and themes and sub-themes were obtained. As a result of the research, it was found that the opinions of the children and their teachers about class rules and undesirable behaviors were in parallel with each other. The study revealed that the experiences of children and the teacher overlap in terms of behaviors and strategies followed by the teacher in response to desirable behaviors. However, it was found that the experiences of children and their teacher differ with regards to the way class rules are determined, and behaviors and strategies followed by the teacher concerning undesirable behaviors.

“…Bu doğrultuda eğitimlerinin son yılına gelen öğretmen adaylarının sınıf yönetiminde zorluk çekmelerinin nedeni, bugüne kadar uygulamaya yönelik derslerinin yeterli gelmemesi olabilir. Buna ek olarak, sınıf yönetimi alan yazınına bakıldığında sınıfta bireyler arası sağlanan olumlu ilişki, öğretmenin sözel olmayan davranışları, çocukların davranışlarının düzenlenmesi, sınıfta uyulması gereken kuralların belirlenmesi, zaman yönetimi ve iletişim gibi becerilerin de sınıf yönetimini sağlamada kritik bir öneme sahip olduğu söylenmektedir (Akgün, Yarar ve Dinçer, 2011;Bulut, 2008;Celep, 2004;Ekici, 2004;Erden, 2005;Şeker, 2000). Ancak yukarıda bahsi geçen sınıf yönetimi becerilerinin öğretmenlik tecrübesi ile doğru orantılı olarak geliştiği de alan yazındaki çalışmaların bulguları arasında göze çarpmaktadır (Dinçer ve Akgün, 2015;O'Brien ve Goddard, 2006;Yeşilyurt ve Çankaya, 2008).…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının ve uygulama öğretmenlerinin, Öğretmenlik Uygulaması dersine ilişkin görüşlerini incelemektir. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgu bilim çalışmasının kullanıldığı bu araştırmanın katılımcıları 41 okul öncesi öğretmen adayı ile 31 okul öncesi öğretmenidir. Açık uçlu görüş bildirim formu aracılığıyla toplanan veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcılara göre Öğretmenlik Uygulaması sürecinde karşılaşılan sorunlardan bazıları öğretmen adayı ile uygulama öğretmeni arasında yaşanan anlaşmazlıklar ya da sınıf yönetiminde yaşanan zorluklardır. Katılımcıların bu sorunlara yönelik çözüm önerilerine bakıldığında ise öğretmen adayı ve uygulama öğretmeninin sürekli iletişim içinde olması ya da sınıf yönetimini kolaylaştırmak adına ilgi çekici yöntemlerin kullanılması gibi önerilere yer verilmiştir. Kişilere düşen sorumluluklar kısmında ise uygulama öğretim elemanlarının da öğretmen adayları ve uygulama öğretmenleri kadar sürece dahil olması gerektiğine değinilmiştir. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda, araştırmanın öğretmen yetiştirme programlarında yer alan Öğretmenlik Uygulaması derslerinin geliştirilmesi ve iyileştirilmesinde destekleyici olacağı düşünülmektedir.

“…In a study conducted in Turkey sample (Buyuktaskapu Soydan et al, 2018), it was emphasized that the majority of the preschool teachers adopt controller discipline and discipline based on obedience against the problem behaviors. The study by Akgün, Yarar, & Dincer (2011) based on the supervision performed by preschool teachers in classroom environment showed that teachers practice the negative classroom management strategies more. Since adopting such a discipline understanding against the behaviors of the children has an impact on highlighting the characteristics such as shyness, introversion, and timidity, there is a need for the efforts to improve the strategies and approaches in this scope.…”

This research aims to investigate the most frequent challenging behaviors faced by preschool teachers in their classrooms and the strategies and discipline approaches they adopt against these challenging behaviors. This research is conducted within case study design, which is a qualitative research method. The study group consists of 10 different preschool teachers teaching for children aged four-five in a city in the mid-south region of the United States. The research data was collected through one-to-one interviews performed by the researcher with the teachers. Content analysis was used to analyze the data obtained as a result of the interviews with the teachers. In the study, the challenging behaviors faced by the preschool teachers were asserted as the behaviors occurring under the themes of "accommodation problems" in the first place, followed by "self-control inadequacies" and then "absence of prosocial behaviors", and "deficiencies in assertiveness skills". The result of this study showed that preschool teachers mainly adopted multiple appropriate strategies which contribute to creating a warm classroom environment in their classrooms. It was stated that the discipline approach based on behavior change was mostly used as well as the instructional and effective communicational approach was partially used, while the assertive discipline approach was rarely used. It is recommended that the strategies and discipline approaches of teachers for dealing with challenging behaviors should be positively improved through supporting the knowledge, skills, and experiences of preschool teachers in the dimension of classroom management.
