Authors : A.K. Zahide Dalbud and Aysel Koksal Akyol

Abstract: This research aimed at determining whether or not the department which kindergarten teachers graduated from and their length of teaching experience caused a difference on the factors taken into account while planning a drama activity, the objectives of the drama activity (what the children will acquire) and the decisions regarding how the families will be involved in drama activities. The research group was composed of 113 voluntary teachers out of 134 teachers working in the kindergartens affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the provincial center of Ankara. The Questionnaire Form developed by the researchers was used as the data collecting instrument. The data obtained was transferred to the SPSS programme and evaluated by means of the "Chi-Square Test". As a result of this study, it was found that whereas the department the teachers graduated from caused a statistically significant difference in the factors taken into account while planning drama activities and in the objectives of the drama activity (what the child will acquire), it did not have a significant impact on the decisions regarding how the families will be involved in the drama activities. On the other hand, the length of the teaching experience of kindergarten teachers did not cause any significant difference on the factors taken into account while planning a drama activity, the objectives of the drama activity (what the children will acquire) and the decisions regarding how the families will be involved in drama activities.
