The Rules Pre-School Teachers Establish for Their Classes and Their Application

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to describe the rules pre-school teachers establish and the ways
they are applied. With this main aim in mind, we sought to determine the rules in nursery classes; how these
rules are established; what precautions teachers take so that students do not forget them; what teachers do when
students do not obey the rules and what teachers do when students obey the rules. The study was carried out with
39 pre-school teachers who worked in Konya city. The study was carried out with a qualitative research design.
In this study, first it was found that pre-school teachers mostly establish rules about keeping the class clean and
maintaining order, using class materials and managing peer relations. As a result of study, it was determined that
teachers most frequently use repetition and reminding so that students do not forget the rules.
