This study examines pre-school children's learning styles by utilising a mathematical model. The model uses a Euclidean geometry algorithm to generate a graphical representation of the learning styles. The algorithm of the developed mathematical model was developed as a practical application of the theoretical assumptions. Index of Learning Styles for Children (ILSC), developed by one of the researchers, has been applied to a total of 301 five-year-old children. Results of the study indicate that children utilise the active, cognitive and visual learning styles under the control of the right hemisphere, and the sequential (analytical) learning styles under the control of the left hemisphere. The modelling algorithm reveals that the children's learning style preferences are shifted towards the right hemisphere at the rate of 8%. The results also provide empirical support that the developed model can mathematically explain the theoretical assumptions it is based on.

An Investigation of preservice early childhood teachers’ levels of individual innovativeness and perceived attributes of instructional computer use
Yılmaz, Nursel; Olgan, Refika; Department of Early Childhood Education (2013)
Based on Rogers‟ (2003) Diffusion of Innovations theory, this study aims to investigate preservice early childhood teachers‟ innovativeness level and perceived attributes of computer use in early childhood education. Moreover, the differences between adopter categories regarding the perceived attributes of computer use and communication channel preferences were examined within the scope of this study. For these purposes, this study was designed as a quantitative research and data were gathered by three scal...
Examination of early childhood educators' perspectives on transdiciplinary approach.
Demirci, Fatma; Demircan, Hasibe Özlen; Department of Early Childhood Education (2020)
A research study was conducted to investigate the perspective of early childhood educators on transdisciplinary approach. The participants of study were 20 early childhood educators who worked in public kindergartens Bartın, Turkey. The data was collected with a semi- structured interview. Findings of study demonstrated that early childhood educators have positive perspectives on integration of disciplines. Also, early childhood educators have positive perspectives on transdisciplinary approach such as inte...
A case study on transdisciplinary approach of integrated curriculum perspectives of early childhood teachers
Özer, Özden; Erden, Feyza; Department of Early Childhood Education (2010)
The purpose of this study is to examine teachers’ beliefs and perspectives about an applied transdisciplinary approach of integrated early childhood curriculum. While developing an integrated curriculum for early childhood education, one of the challenges for educators is delivering the themes into different disciplines. For this reason, researchers have developed different models to integrate disciplines in different ways. Transdisciplinary approach is one of the models developed for integrated curriculum....
The roles of gender and learning styles on tenth grade students' kinematics graphing skills
Delialioğlu (Aydoğan), Fatma; Sancar, Mehmet Tevfik; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003)
This study was designed to investigate the roles of gender and learning styles on tenth grade students̕ kinematics graphing skills. The study was conducted in 14 representative cities throughout seven different geographical regions over Turkey with a total of 989 tenth grade students in last four weeks of the spring semester of 2002-2003 school year. Findings of the kinematics graphing skills test indicated that general performances of the students were very low and many students have difficulties in interp...
A Multilevel analysis of home and classroom literacy environments in relation to preschoolers‘ early literacy development
Altun, Dilek; Tantekin Erden, Feyza; Snow, Catherine E.; Department of Elementary Education (2016)
This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of the preschool children‘s home and classroom literacy environments and to search for relationships between receptive and expressive vocabulary, phonological awareness and concepts about print development. The participants of study were 168 parents and their children attending five private preschools in Ankara. The two-wave data of the study was collected during the fall and spring semester of the 2014-2015 academic year. The findings of the study reveale...
