Özenoğlu, Yunus Emre; Aydoğdu, Fatih; Gürsoy, Figen
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in early childhood education has been increasingly used to support preschool children's development. However, research indicates that preschool teachers often have limited awareness and literacy regarding AI, and studies focusing on improving their AI-related knowledge remain insufficient. Therefore, enhancing preschool teachers' understanding of AI and supporting its effective integration into educational practices is critically important. This study aimed to examine the impact of an artificial intelligence education programme on preschool teachers' AI awareness. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design and included a total of 48 preschool teachers, with 24 assigned to the experimental group and 24 to the control group. Teachers in the experimental group participated in artificial intelligence education applications, while no such interventions were implemented in the control group. Data were collected using measurement tools administered before and after the intervention. The findings revealed a statistically significant increase in artificial intelligence literacy among teachers in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. These results suggest that artificial intelligence–based educational interventions are effective in improving preschool teachers' awareness and understanding of AI, and they highlight the importance of incorporating AI education into professional development programmes for early childhood educators.

The purpose of this study was to examine the play skills of children with typical development and those with speech and language disorders (SLD) based on gender, the presence of siblings, and parents’ education levels. There were 270 children included in the study's sample. In the study, ‘The Play Behaviour Scale’ was used. Reticent behaviour scores of girls with SLD were significantly higher than those of boys, and scuffle play, scores of typically developing boys were significantly higher than those of girls. The social play scores of children with SLD were statistically significant when they had a sibling. Children whose parents had a high school education or less had considerably higher scuffle play ratings than children whose parents had a university degree or above. Consequently, it was observed that demographic variables influenced the play skills of children with SLD. Defining these children's play behaviours based on various variables will be beneficial for creating intervention programmes.

SMA, a genetic neuromuscular disease that affects the control of muscle movement and results in severe motor disorders, is among the rare diseases. Due to the low prevalence of rare diseases and serious problems with correct diagnosis, there may be delays in diagnosis. When the studies on SMA are examined, it is known that the issues related to diagnosis are mostly emphasised, but a limited number of studies have been conducted on the current issues of patients with SMA or their caregivers. In addition to studies on treatment, it would be useful to consider the patient and his/her environment together in studies on the quality of life of patients and caregivers. Examining the concept of quality of life in SMA disease will form the basis for studies on quality of life, and at the same time, the continuity of studies on the subject will be ensured. In this sense, current issues the treatment of patients diagnosed with SMA was addressed in this study. The fact that these patients experience significant deficiencies such as respiratory impairment, malnutrition and skeletal deformity causes them to face difficulties in meeting their basic needs, especially in nutrition and toileting. These problems reduce the quality of life of patients and their relatives. Therefore, early diagnosis and providing medical, psychological, and social support to patients and their relatives will be effective in their quality of life. In this review, recommendations were made to address the current issues of SMA patients and their relatives.

Aydoğdu, Fatih; Gürsoy, Figen; Aral, Neriman
Problems related to social, emotional and psychological well-being in children at an early age may cause behavioural problems. Previous studies show that the development of emotion regulation strengthens social-emotional well-being, and psychological resilience and reduces behavioural problems in children. This study aims to test the possible mediating role of emotion regulation and to gain a better perspective on the association between social and emotional well-being, resilience, and behavioural problems. 250 children aged 4-6 years (122 boys, 48.8%; 128 girls, 51.2%; mean age = 4.93) studying in kindergartens in Turkey were included in the study. Data on children's behavioural problems and emotion regulation skills were obtained from mothers, and data on social-emotional wellbeing, and psychological resilience levels were obtained from teachers. Social and emotional wellbeing, and psychological resilience indirectly significantly predicted behavioural problems through emotion regulation. Emotion regulation has a partial mediator role in the relationship between social and emotional well-being, psychological resilience and behavioural problems. In line with the results, the importance of supporting the development of emotion regulation skills in the preschool period was emphasized.
