Özet:

The current study aims to reach the perceptions of pre-school teachers about the development of self-discipline in children. To this goal, the case examination quality research method has been monitored and the situation in a private educational institution in Turkey has been addressed. There are seven teachers in the school. As a data collection tool, a conversation protocol has been used containing ten short stories and related questions with ten conversation questions. The interview protocol was developed after the observations made by the researcher in the pre-school education institutions and reorganized after the pilot study. Imaginary analysis technique is used for data analysis. According to the results obtained, the participating pre-school teachers are aware of what self-discipline is, the importance, the potential and appropriate strategies to promote self-discipline. However, although self-disciplinary teachers perceive children significantly in their daily lives and define their own roles, there have been some emphasis that are not related to self-discipline and practices that are not consistent with literature. In future research, it is recommended to analyze non-disciplinary emphasis and develop appropriate practices.
