Abstract:

This study is aimed at studying the perceptions of pre-school teachers about the game. In the research, the visual research method and the scan model were used. The study’s work group was formed by 145 pre-school teachers working in the independent maternities and kindergartens associated with the Ministry of National Education. The research data was collected with the "General Information Form" and "Game Perception Scale". The analysis of the data used the Mann Whitney U test and the Kruskal Wallis H test. The study found that female teachers have a significantly higher level of gambling perception with their freedom and purpose compared to male teachers. The teachers who work in public schools, according to the teachers who work in private schools, have found that the function of the game and interest/interest/discovery levels in the game are significantly higher. The teachers who are trained in the game have achieved the result that the function of the game and the interest/interest/discovery levels in the game and the level of game perception are higher. In this context, the teachers who are trained in the game can be trained in the game, depending on the significantly high level of perception of the game.
