Preschool teachers' evaluations of the problem behaviors of students with and without special needs

The goal of this research is to determine if there are any differences in terms of understanding, preventing and fixing Problem Behaviour (PB) of preschool teachers, and coalescent students and their relatives. The attendees of this research include 12 preschool teachers who work in 10 kindergartens, which are regulated by the Ministry of Education of Turkey, in Izmir and its suburbs. Data in this research has been collected by "Teacher Demographic Information Form", "Semi-Structured Meeting" and "Teacher Diaries". All meetings are voice recorded and those voice recordings are dictated after the meeting. All collected data has been analyzed using the triangular method, which is a basic qualitative research design that is a kind of qualitative research method. According to our findings, which are retrieved through inductive research, we figured out that preschool teachers have more prejudice towards coalescent students compared to relatives of those students in terms of dealing with PB. Another finding of this research is the fact that teachers see PB as the quality of diagnosis. Techniques used by attendees for dealing with PB are different from techniques of coalescent students and their relatives.
