Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to study the learning styles of 5-6-year-old children living in different socio-economic environments in the province of Ankara according to various variables. In the study, a relative scanning model of quantum methods was used. The study’s work group in the 2017-2018 educational-educational year in Ankara or in the provinces of Çankaya, Mamak, Yenimahalle was selected with the appropriate sampling method that continues to the official primary schools associated with the Ministry of Education, independent primary schools and private primary schools, a total of 300 children (138 of the girls and 162 of the men) from the 5-6-year-old group. The study used the "Personal Information Form" to determine the demographic characteristics of children and the "Learning Styles Scale for 5-6-Year-Old Children" to determine learning styles. Independent groups used t-tests, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA), Post-Hoc Tukey and Post-Hoc Games-Howell tests. As a result, it has been shown that the printing of pre-school children’s learning styles is a kinesthetic learning style. When it comes to gender variable learning styles, a difference in visual and hearing learning styles has been shown to be in favour of girls. According to the location variable, the kinesthetic learning styles of children residing in the province of Çankaya have been lower than the kinesthetic learning styles of children residing in the province of Yenimahalle and Mamak. It has been found that the hearing learning style of children with their mothers college graduates is higher than the hearing learning style of children with their mothers primary school graduates or who do not know how to read and write.
