Self Perpection in Preschool Immigrant Children: The Effect of Social Adaption and Skills Education

Summary/Abstract: In the study, it was aimed to examine the effect of Social Skills Training Program applied to 60-72 months old immigrant Afghan children on children's self-perception. In the research, an pre-test -post-test experimental design without control group was used. The study group of the research consists of 17 immigrant children of ,60-72 months, attending to Ankara Keçiören Youth Center, which was selected with purposeful sampling method. “DeMoulin Self-Perception Scale” was used as a data collection tool to measure children's self-perception levels. In the study, the Social Cohesion and Skills Training Program was applied to Afghan children 2 days a week and for 12 weeks. The self-perception levels of the children were measured before and after the program. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there is a significant difference between the scores of the children before and after the Social Adaptation and Skills Training Program in favor of the post test (p <0.05). However, a significant difference was found in favor of the pre-test (p <0.05). This situation was interpreted as the applied program had a positive and significant effect on the self-perception scores of the children, but this effect continued, although it decreased over time. In addition, it was pointed out that the self-perception of the child is significantly affected by the family, and it was suggested that the education of parents on child education would make a significant contribution to the children's gaining a positive self-perception.
