The sample group of the reserach has been established by 238 preschool teachers who work with 36-72 month children at 54 schools of Ministry of National Education at the province of Ankara for 2012-2013 academic year. For analyzing the data, descriptive statistics (frequencies (f), percentages (%), mean), Chi-Square, t-test and one way ANOVA tests have been used.
