Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to study the strategies applied in the process of adaptation to the school in the pre-school period and the teachers' opinions on the problems encountered. It has also been tried to determine whether there is a difference between the strategies implemented in public schools and the strategies implemented in private schools in the process of adaptation to the school. For this purpose; quality research methods have been carried out through typical state study. The study’s work group consists of five public institutions, five private institutions, and 10 pre-school teachers. The research was carried out using a semi-configured interview technique. Teachers have stated that they are doing the most "confidence gain" activities related to the school adaptation process. Most teachers have stated that the most important element in the process of adaptation is to do interesting events and dating events. When asked about the problems that occur during the adaptation process, teachers stated that the family factor was most effective. While the state institutions are faced with the most extreme protective-tolerant family attitude, the private institutions are often faced with the unstable family attitude along with the extreme protective family attitude.
