Özet

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the Incredible Years® TCM Program on Turkish preschool teachers’ classroom management skills and children’s social competence and misbehaviors. The study group consisted of 72 preschool teachers and their students, aged 48 to 72 months. Findings from the Teacher Classroom Management Strategies Questionnaire (TSQ) indicated no significant differences in teachers’ perceptions of their classroom management strategies. However, the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale-30 revealed significant improvement in the Social Competence and reductions in Anger-Aggression and Anxiety-Withdrawal subscale scores.
