Ethics education for 4-6 years old in the light of sufi concepts with memory techniques

The 4-6 age period, called the early childhood period, is of great importance in the formation and development of the child's personality. At this stage, the child should be given an education suitable for his/her developmental characteristics. In this study, it is emphasized how moral education can be given to children aged 4-6 in the light of mystical concepts with visual memory techniques, by ensuring that the child learns by living and having fun. In our study, we first examined the mental, physical, emotional, linguistic and religious development characteristics of children aged 4-6. By drawing the conceptual framework of moral value, we tried to explain the emergence of religious and moral development in children aged 4-6, the factors that affect the religious and moral development of children, and the methods that can be used in children's religious and moral development. In our research, we tried to consider the methods and techniques that will lead us to a conclusion by explaining how moral education should be in the light of visual memory techniques and mystical concepts in children aged 4-6 years. In addition, considering that children are quite active at this stage, we tried to realize their learning in this direction. By making use of visual memory techniques, we tried to enable children to comprehend more easily by concretizing abstract concepts. By making use of their fondness for the story, we tried to make them comprehend the subject with analogy story examples and visual pictures. With concept-mind maps and memory photographs, we tried to help them to apply mystical concepts in their minds and hearts by placing them in their lives. In the light of Sufi concepts, we provided practical examples of patience related to moral education, allowing children to have fun and actively participate in the lesson. At the end of our activities, we asked questions to the children and made a general evaluation about the activity in line with their answers. In short, by using visual memory techniques, we tried to ensure the placement, development and protection of mystical concepts and moral consciousness in children.
