Review Of Filiz Shine's Children's Books In Terms Of Values Education

Abstract

In the preschool period, when the development process is rapid, children gain experience in directly or indirectly acquiring knowledge, acquiring skills, and reaching value judgments. It can be mentioned that many factors have an impact on the process of values ​​education in pre-school education institutions. Some of these are; curriculum, school administration, children's parents, friends, teachers and other professionals working at the school. It is important to check whether both the visual and verbal aspects of the contents of children's books that teachers will present to their children in the classroom or parents in the home environment are suitable for values ​​education, in terms of forming value judgments. This study aimed to examine Filiz Shine's children's books in terms of values ​​education. Within the scope of the research, the children's book "How nice to live" was examined on the basis of the values ​​of "Love, Tolerance, Happiness, Responsibility, Patience, Cooperation, Respect/Courtesy, Cooperation, Trust, Justice, Truth/Honesty". The data obtained was analyzed with descriptive analysis. The values ​​in the books are explained using tables and graphs. In the book examined in the research, the most frequently mentioned values ​​were happiness and responsibility, while the least frequently mentioned values ​​were equally trust and justice, followed by truthfulness/honesty. It has been determined that the book "How Beautiful to Live" is rich in terms of values. Using the book examined in the research will be effective in teaching children values ​​and putting the acquired values ​​into practice.
