Erken çocukluk eğitimi ortamlarında açık uçlu materyallerin kullanımı
Özet
Açık uçlu materyaller çocukların yaratıcılıklarını, problem çözme becerilerini geliştirerek zenginleştirici deneyimlere ve bütüncül gelişimlerine olanak sağlar. Erken çocukluk eğitimi ortamlarında açık uçlu materyallere yer verilmesi ve bu materyallerin eğitim uygulamalarına entegre edilmesi son derece önemlidir. Açık uçlu materyallerin potansiyel faydalarını anlamak için, bu materyallerin kullanımına temel oluşturan teorik yaklaşımların bilinmesi ve yetişkinlerin üstleneceği rolün sınırlarının belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bahsedilen gerekçelerle derleme niteliğindeki bu çalışmada erken çocukluk eğitimi ortamlarında açık uçlu materyallerin kullanımının eğitim ve oyun ortamına sunacağı katkılara yönelik yaklaşımların gözden geçirilmesi, mevcut araştırmaların değerlendirilmesi ve eğitimciler için uygulamaya yönelik önerilerin sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada öncelikle açık uçlu materyaller kavramı tanımlanarak temel oluşturan yaklaşımlar irdelenmiş, daha sonra bu materyallerin çocukların gelişimine sunduğu katkılar ve materyallerin eğitim ortamına entegrasyonu ile sürecin tamamında kritik bir öneme sahip olan yetişkinin rolüne yer verilmiştir.
