“…Considering the educational background of fathers, it was determined that the school readiness levels of children whose fathers had bachelor's degrees were higher than those whose mothers had other educational backgrounds. Many studies in the literature demonstrated that the mother's educational background affected children's school readiness (Erkan & Kırca, 2010;Erkan, 2011;Uslu & Uslu, 2013;Tunçeli & Akman, 2013). For example, Tunçeli and Akman (2013) conducted a study to investigate different variables affecting the school readiness of 6-year-old children, who were attending preschool education, and determined that the school readiness level of the children of parents with high educational backgrounds was higher than the children of those with low educational backgrounds.…”

This study was designed as a case study and the school readiness of first-grade bilingual students speaking Turkish and Kurdish was examined according to gender, whether they had preschool education, the language spoken at home, the number of siblings, and the educational background of their parents. The study group consisted of 300 children who started first grade in primary school in Viranşehir district of Şanlıurfa province, Turkey, in the 2014-2015 academic years and 15 first grade teachers working in this province. The data were collected using the Metropolitan Readiness Test, semi-structured Teacher Interview Form, and Family Information Form. The obtained data were evaluated with a two-way analysis of variance and content analysis. The results of this study revealed that receiving preschool education, the language spoken at home, the number of siblings, and the educational background of parents made a significant difference in the school readiness of the children, but the gender did not make a significant difference. As a result of the interviews with the primary school first-grade teachers, it was determined that children who received preschool education started primary school more ready than those who did not and that the family played an important role in school readiness.

Indonesian government has regulated that the basic age of readiness of a child to attend elementary schools is 7 years old. In fact, some children are not exactly 7 years old when they first go to school because they develop more rapidly. This study is aimed at investigating some aspects of child development which affect their readiness to attend elementary school. The subjects were 101 grade 1, 2, and 3 teachers of elementary schools in Yogyakarta, a special Region in Indonesia. The data were collected through interviews. The results of the data collection were analyzed using both descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results of the study show some aspects of child development affecting their readiness to attend elementary schools, including: cognitive and language ability, social emotional skills, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, arts, religion and moral values, and some others. Beside these aspects, some problems in grades 1, 2, and 3 are also found. This study is expected to give significant indicators to create the construct of school readiness.
