摘要:AbstractThe acquisition of value-related knowledge and the development of values happens at the early stages of child development, especially during preschool education. Thus, a qualified preschool curriculum should include value-related objectives in the affective domain. This study aimed to investigate socio-emotional objectives of Turkish Preschool Curriculum with regard to values education. Objectives were examined through document analysis based on the values within the assessment criteria followed in the study, namely Framework for Action on Values Education in Early Childhood, Living Values Education, and Circular 2010/53 of Ministry of National Education of Turkey. The results revealed that out of 17 socio-emotional objectives, 13 objectives were associated with 10 different values. These 10 different values were found to be insufficient when assessed depending on the aforementioned assessment criteria.
