Abstract


This study was conducted to examine the effect of the education program designed with the flipped learning education model on preschool children's early mathematics skills. The study group consisted of children attending the official kindergarten affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Karatay district of Konya province in the 2022-2023 academic year. There were a total of 50 children in the study. The number of girls was 12 (48%) in the experimental group and 10 (40%) in the control group. A quasi-experimental model was used in the study. "General Information Form" and "Early Mathematics Aptitude Test-3 (TEMA-3)" were used to collect the research data. The education program designed with the flipped learning education model was implemented for 12 weeks with the children in the experimental group. The 12-week training program focuses on reinforcing each topic with children through daily activities. The program covers the fundamental topics of mathematics.  As a result of the analysis of the research data, it was seen that the children in the study group had equivalent early math skills before the implementation. After the implementation of the "education program designed with the flipped learning education model" with the children in the experimental group, it was determined that the experimental and control groups showed a significant difference in terms of the "TEMA 3" post-test application. It was determined that the children in the experimental group were more successful than the children in the control group in terms of math skills.
