Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate mother-child relationship and value gain of

child. The sample of the study consisted of 662 mothers of 5-6 years old children who

attend kindergarten in primary and secondary schools in central and sub-districts in

Afyonkarahisar province in 2017-2018 academic year. In the research; “General

Information Form”, which was developed by the researcher in order to determine the

demographic characteristics of parents and children, was used; “Child Parental

Relationship Scale” was used to measure the mother-child relationship and “Preschool

Values Scale” was used to determine the value gain of the child. SPSS 18.0 (Statistical

Package for the Social Sciences) program was used to evaluate the data obtained from the

scale forms. Significance level was taken as p≤,05 in all analyzes. In order to solve the

problems mentioned in the research, descriptive statistics related to the data obtained

from data collection tools were calculated. Then, the data were analyzed in accordance

with the sub-problems of the research. Levene test was used to test the homogeneity of

the variances. If variances were homogeneous, parametric test were used; if variances

were not homogeneous, non-parametric tests were used. For the purposes of the study, ttest

and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied for the samples which

were independent of parametric techniques in order to examine whether the total scores

obtained from the scale differ according to independent variables. In the case of

significant differences, homogeneity of variances was checked to determine which

groups the difference was between, and as a result of homogeneity, Scheffe test which

ix

was one of the multiple comparison tests was used. According to the results obtained

from the research; a significant difference was found in favor of the girls in the child

variable appraisal scale, gender variable responsibility sub-dimension. In the parent-child

relationship scale, there was a difference in favor of 2012 births in the birth relationship

variable positive relationship sub-dimension. In addition, in the appraisal scale; it has

been concluded that the general mean scores do not differ significantly according to the

number of children variable. The following suggestions were made in the research. It was

concluded that the relationship of the child with the mother had a significant relationship

with the appreciation of the child. In this direction, family education programs can be

prepared for mothers to strengthen their relations with their children. In this study, only

the family form of the scale was included in order to determine the value levels of

children. In different researches, it is possible to make deep investigations by using

teacher and child forms of the scale.
