Also, the study examines their behaviors in terms of the socio-economical level of the family. The participants of the study were 136 mothers and 9 teachers who volunteered to be involved in the study. The research was carried out in 2009-2010 academic year, in 4 primary schools in Edirne. Being members of Ministry of National Education, these schools were located in different areas where families from different socio-economical levels lived. To gather data, for basic participant profile Personal Information Form developed by the researchers was used. For main data seeking to find answers for preschool children's behaviors at home and school Behavior Scale for Pre-School Children was used (Merrell, 2002). The Turkish version of the scale which was translated into Turkish in 2007 by Okyay and Fazlioglu was used. The validity and reliability issues of the Turkish version were also checked by the researchers. The data was quantitatively analyzed through SPSS 17.0 (Statistical Package Software). t-test, variance analysis, and LSD test were performed for the analysis. The significance level was determined to be as p<0.05. A meaningful difference was found between preschool children's behaviors according to mothers' and teachers' perceptions in terms of the scale's social cooperation, problem expression and learning problem sub-dimensions. Also, there is a meaningful difference between pre-school children's behaviors according to perceptions of teachers in terms of the socio-economical level of the family. However, meaningful difference was not found in terms of social expression.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPreschool EducationSocial SkillSocial CooperationSocial ExpressionLearning ProblemArticle856856867N/AWOS:000438959300004
