“We Enjoyed Our Childhood to The Fullest”: Early Childhood Teachers’ Risky Play Memories and Risky Play Managements

Öz:
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between early childhood teachers’ risky play experiences, their injury histories in their childhood and risky play management strategies they used as a teacher. 190 early childhood teachers participated in this study. Data were collected through a semi- structured interview form. Only play with great heights (climbing up a tree) and play with high speed (swinging on playground swings) were included in the semi-structured interview form. Scenario-based, black and white drawings were used as a data collection tool. Results showed that teachers’ risky play histories, injury histories and their management strategies at play with great heights are independent of each other. However, a different pattern was identified for play with high speed (swinging on playground swings). This result provides an opportunity to discuss whether teachers’ injury histories at specific risky play categories, may affect their risky play management strategies.

“Biz Çocukluğumuzu Dolu Dolu Yaşadık”: Okul Öncesi Öğretmenlerinin Riskli Oyun Anıları ve Riskli Oyunu Yönetim Stratejileri

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin, çocukluk çağlarında riskli oyuna dahil olma durumlarının, yaralanma geçmişlerinin ve sınıflarına devam eden çocukların riskli oyunlarını yönetirken kullandıkları stratejilerin incelenmesidir. Araştırma, öğretmenlerin çocukluk yıllarına ait riskli oyun geçmişleri, yaralanma geçmişleri ve çocukların riskli oyunlarında kullandıkları stratejiler ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu çalışmaya 190 öğretmen katılmıştır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuna sadece büyük yüksekliklerde (ağaca tırmanmak) ve yüksek hızda oyun (oyun parkı salıncağında sallanmak) kategorileri dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak senaryoya dayalı, siyah beyaz çizimlerin olduğu durum kartları kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğretmenlerin riskli oyun geçmişlerinin, yaralanma geçmişlerinin ve büyük yükseklikteki riskli oyunları yönetim stratejilerinin birbirinden bağımsız olduğunu göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, yüksek hızda riskli oyun (salıncakta sallanma) için farklı bir desen tanımlanmıştır. Bu sonuç, öğretmenlerin belirli riskli oyun kategorilerindeki yaralanma geçmişi durumlarının riskli oyun yönetimi stratejilerini etkileyip etkilemeyeceğini tartışma fırsatı sunmuştur.
