The effects of conflict resolution and mediation education on problem solving behavior of 6 years old children

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çatışma çözme ve arabuluculuk eğitiminin altı yaş grubu çocukların problem çözme becerilerine etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmada, ön test son test deney öncesi model kullanılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında Koruklu ve Özdil (2008) tarafından geliştirilmiş “Kişilerarası Problem Çözme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmacılar ayrıca video kaydı ve gözlem tekniğinden yararlanarak nitel verilerle çalışmayı desteklemişlerdir. Bulgulara göre, çatışma çözme ve arabuluculuk eğitimi altı yaş grubu çocukların problem çözme becerilerinde etkili olduğu görülmüştür (p<.05). Bu bulguya göre, eğitim alan öğrencilerin eğitim öncesi akranlarıyla yaşadıkları kişilerarası çatışmalarda gösterdikleri yıkıcı davranışlarda azalmaların olduğu ve yapıcı davranışlarda da artışların olduğu saptanmıştır. Nitel verilerden elde edilen bulgulara göre ise çocukların eğitimden sonra yapıcı problem çözme becerisini ortaya koyan kelimeleri kullanmaya başladığı görülmüştür. Bunlar; “problemimizi nasıl çözebiliriz?”, “Hadi çözüm için konuşalım.”, “problemimizin alternatif çözümünü bulabilir misin?” şeklinde özetlenebilir. Bu bulgular, okulöncesi dönemde çocuklara verilecek çatışma çözme ve arabuluculuk eğitiminin öğrencilerin problem çözme davranışlarına etki ettiğini göstermektedir.The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of conflict resolution and mediation education on problem solving skills of 6 years old children.

This study examined the relationships between parental attachments, school attachments and life satisfaction, and whether school attachment served as a mediator between parental attachment and life satisfaction in a sample of early adolescents (n= 153; mean age= 12.71 years). Results indicated that both maternal and paternal attachment positively related to life satisfaction; among the school attachment dimensions only attachment to teacher associated with life satisfaction of adolescents. Hierarchical regression analyses provided evidence that school attachment partially mediated the link between parental attachment and life satisfaction for both maternal and paternal models. Implications for intervention programs are discussed
