Özet

Bilişsel becerilerin, yaşamları boyunca bireylerin dünyayı anlama biçimlerini, sosyal etkileşimlerini ve akademik performanslarını etkilediği bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle özellikle küçük çocukların gelişimlerinin ve öğrenmelerinin desteklenmesi için bilişsel becerilerin erken dönemde değerlendirilmesi ve değerlendirmeler doğrultusunda eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerinin yapılandırılması oldukça önem taşımaktadır. Bilişsel becerilerin değerlendirilmesi aynı zamanda eğitimin amacının ve niteliğinin ölçülmesinde de önemli boyutlardan birini oluşturmaktadır. Küçük çocuklar söz konusu olduğunda bilişsel becerilerin ne şekilde değerlendirilebileceğine karar verilebilmesi için öncelikle çocukların beyin gelişiminin ve ilgili işlevlerinin bilinmesi; bilişsel değerlendirmelere temel oluşturan teorik yaklaşımların, uygun yöntem ve tekniklerin ve bunların avantajlarının ve sınırlılıklarının belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada erken çocuklukta bilişsel becerilerin ne şekilde değerlendirilebileceğine yönelik mevcut yaklaşımları gözden geçirmek ve değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda erken çocuklukta bilişsel becerilerin beyin gelişimi içerisindeki yeri irdelenmiş, bilişsel becerilerin değerlendirilmesine temel oluşturan yaklaşımlar incelenmiş ve ardından erken çocuklukta bilişsel becerilerin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan tekniklerin avantajları ve sınırlılıkları tartışılmıştır.
