Abstract
ABSTRACT In order to enrich the practices about the participation rights in the preschool education institutions, it is necessary to take the opinions of children concerning their experiences in school. In this research, it is aimed to take the opinions of Turkish preschoolers about their participation experiences in their schools. The participants of the study are comprised of 200 5-year-old children attending the public preschools and nursery classes in a province in Turkey’s inner Aegean region. In the research, the child Interview form was used as the date collection tool. As a result of this research, it was determined that children participated in the decision-making processes in the classroom in a limited way and that the participation of the children was supported in a limited way, either. It was observed that this result was related to the insufficient level of expression of children’s opinions in the educational institutions and their limited participation in decision-making processes.
