10. • To get information
efficiently is important for
teachers more than students
because teachers are
responsible for teaching the
ones which are not known.
Teachers should develop
themselves in terms of having
knowledge, social skills and
characteristic features.
LACK OF EDUCATION
11. LACK OF EDUCATION
• Also, they should improve
their students on the same
way. However,unfortunately,
there are many teachers
who have not enough
knowledge about their field
in our country and it leads to
certain problems in
education system.
12. LACK OF EDUCATION
• Finally, due to lack of
education and awareness,
the aim of preschool is not
implemented as expected. In
conclusion, the quality of
education in our country is
not enough to feel proud.
13. LITERATURE REVIEW
The teachers' attitudes to
preschool, i.e. ways of working,
interaction between the
children and between the
children and the teachers and
parental cooperation, are also
vital factors for the quality.

14. LITERATURE REVIEW
•
• The study explored relationships, for 60
preschool, kindergarten, and first grade
teachers, among teachers' beliefs about how
children learn, their views on the goals of early
childhood education, their positions on policies
related to school entry, testing, and retention,
their satisfaction with current practices and
pressures for change, and their actual
practices. Results revealed, for preschool and
kindergarten teachers, significant associations
among beliefs, goals, practices, and to some
degree policy positions, that map on to current
debates among experts on child-centered
versus more didactic, basic-skills approaches.

15. • Preschool process has a vital
importance for the children’s
lives and some preschool
teacher’s unconsciousness
is one of the greatest factors
that cause a deviation from
the education purposes and
high quality teaching-
learning-improving process.
UNCONSCIOUSNESS
16. UNCONSCİOUSNESS
• So they may easily harm
preschoolers by neglecting
unconsciously or not them by
doing these:
• There are many teachers who are
talented and sufficient but they
are not aware of the process.
• They may not take care of the
children and make trainees to
their responsibilities.
17. UNCONSCİOUSNESS
• Some teachers exhibit the
example of pass the buck attitude.
• They may aim just filling in time.
• They may not try to improve and
renew themselves.
• They may not aim to follow ,fix or
support the children’s growths,
disabilities and abilities.
18. THE MATTER OF TEACHER
• Based on the theoretical
framework of psychoanalysis,
this study presents a discussion
concerning the presence of the
unconscious in educational and
pedagogical relationships and
practices established between a
teacher and a child in early
childhood education.

19. LEARNİNG PROCESS AND
TEACHER’S MATTER
• It is known that to educate necessarily
involves working with and among people.
It is a relational, interactive activity, in
which desires, interests and needs of
another, i.e. the son/daughter, the child,
the student, are present. In this sense,
school education, especially Early
Childhood Education, relies basically on
the quotidian interactions between
teachers and children, without which the
school is nothing more than an empty
shell lifeless, motionless and without
action. (Tardif & Lessard, 2007)

20. • Reluctance is derived form various
factors. These factors could be
individuals or because of education
system and conditions.
• In the article ‘Behavior and Attitudes
of Teachers’ Sevda BEKMAN refers to
significant point for our early
education system.
RELUCTANCE
21. Behaviour and Attitudes
of Teachers
• A number of studies have
examined the difference in
attitudes and behaviors of
teachers in early childhood
education programs with respect
to certain variables such as type
of institution, class room density
and the age of the children they
worked with, educational level,
level of satisfaction with job and
salary.
22. Behaviour and Attitudes
of Teachers
• Among these studies an
investigation of 248 university
students from 4 universities
revealed that although training to
be a preschool teacher was not the
first choice that many had selected
in the university entrance
applications forms, once their began
their education they were pleased
with their choice (Dincer,2000b).
23. Behaviour and Attitudes
of Teachers
• In a study by Turla, Tezel and Avcı
(1997) it was found that teachers with
more years of experience and lower
levels of education have difficulty in
both adapting to new techniques and
more prone to mention problems.
24. Behaviour and Attitudes
of Teachers
• Investigating the attitudes
of teachers with respect to
various factors such as
age,material status, years of
experiences, number of
children in the class and job
satisfaction.
25. Behaviour and Attitudes
of Teachers
• Reluctant teachers do not pay attention to
child’s wishes or ideas, exhibited
dominating behaviors and enforced a large
number of rules for children.
• The working conditions are also effective
for teachers’ attitude: teachers working
with smaller groups of children and for
only half a day are found to be more
democratic than teachers working a full
day and with larger groups( Zembat and
Bilgin 1996).
34. QUESTION.2

you adhere to
curriculum of
preschool education ?

35. QUESTION.3

question.1; in your opinion,
what is the biggest
problem of system ?
• Lack of parent’s knowledge

goals and value of
preschool education

materials
41. QUESTION.9

do social skills, physical and
mental development of the
preschoolers improve
adequately?
Yes : 90%
No : 10%
*There are individual
differences.
42. QUESTION.10
a) Do you have knowledge
about goals of MEB;
Yes : 90% No: 10%
b)In your opinion, are they
sufficient ?
Yes : 80% No: 20%
44. INTERVIEW
We asked some
questions to people who
are wandering in Ortaköy
and others who live in
variable places about
their children and
preschools. We faced
with common opinions in
the following:
45. • Financial statement is important
factor at choosing a high quality
preschool.
• Parents want their children to
socialize by prefering preschool
education.
• Parents should follow their child’s
development as well teachers.
• Parents want their children to have
another foreign language.
• Private schools are more careful and
effective than public schools.
INTERVIEW
46. How can teachers stay
motivated when so many
factors make teaching so
difficult?
47. Those who become teachers want to
make a difference in the world. They love and
care about children. They also want a fulfilling
job. Unfortunately, the reality of teaching
today often does not match these
expectations. Large class sizes, mandated
curriculum, behavior issues, and school
bureaucracy can make teaching more stressful
than fulfilling.
48. New teachers often comment that teaching
is much more difficult than their training prepared
them for. Second career teachers say that
teaching is the hardest job they have ever had.
One study found that around one-quarter of new
hires leave teaching within five years. In schools
that serve low-income urban areas, the retention
rate dips to 50 percent within the first five years
(Hare, Heap, & Raack, 2001).
49. • SUGGESTIONS
• Instead of being increased the
number of universities which have
preschool education department, the
ones which are existed should be
improved.
• There should be interview in order to
observe teachers whether they are
suitable for their occupation or not.
• Much more teachers should be
appointed to preschools and each
teacher should responsible for certain
students.
50. SUGGESTIONS
• Traniees should not take the place of
teachers in the schools.
• Ministry of education should charge a
variety of inspectors for more quality
preschools.
• Parents should follow their children’s
attitudes and developments by
connecting with their teachers.
