However, a perspective that supports diversity among all children and requires respect for differences is increasingly implemented today on an international basis. Inclusive education is for all children. Use of inclusive approaches for all children at all levels of education is also significant to support all developmental areas. Inclusive education practices in early childhood period will enable children to access equal rights, opportunities and potential. For this reason, it is very important to present the inclusive features that should be found in preschool education programs today. Accordingly, this study seeks answers to the following question: \"What should be the features of an inclusive preschool education program?” Case study method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used in this study. Delphi technique was used via interview questions and surveys to determine the characteristics of an inclusive preschool program in this study. The first round of the Delphi application started with 24 experts, the second round with 17 experts and the third round with 14 experts. Content analysis was used for the first responses received from the participants and categories were obtained. It was determined that the experts mentioned 52 items in 4 separate categories. The study determined some of the principles and characteristics that an inclusive preschool education program and an inclusive preschool teacher should possess.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Inclusive education, pre-school education, pre-school education program . |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [suletepetas@ibu.edu.tr](suletepetas@ibu.edu.tr). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nIn most education systems, inclusive education is used as an approach that positively supports the education of children who are excluded, discriminated against, who do not participate in quality learning or who are inadequate as learners (Black-Hawkins et al. , 2007) . Inclusive education is known as an approach that includes the adaptation and change of the methodology to meet the needs of all students and learning with peers from different backgrounds and abilities in mainstream schools. The realization of inclusive education is determined by the geographical, demographic, cultural, linguistic characteristics and factors of the relevant country (Grynova and Kalınıchenko, 2018) .  \nIn some countries, inclusive education is considered asan approach to serving only the children with special educational needs. However, nowadays, inclusive  \neducation is internationally acclaimed with an understanding that supports diversity among all students and respects the differences among learners (UNESCO, 2001) .  \nThe concept of inclusion has been a topic of discussion in society and political theory for the last three decades and this concept has been shaped by discussions on interventions to be followed in order to include individuals/groups living at the extremes of society (Sen, 2000; Terzi, 2014) . The fact that noteworthy institutions address the concept of inclusive education has been an important reason for these discussions. The inclusion of the concept of inclusive education in the policy documents of many international organizations, especially the United Nations (UN), has ensured that inclusive education is considered and brought to the  \nagenda worldwide.  \nThe Center for Studies on Inclusive Education, established in the UK in 1982, expresses the principles of this philosop","cbCaieH3v3FkKFZi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieH3v3FkKFZi","pdf",198936,"English","# Introduction\n## Inclusive education and its implementation\n## Policy, rights, and inclusion in Turkey\n# Abstract\n## Purpose and research question\n## Delphi study method and participant rounds\n## Identified principles and characteristics","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study on inclusive preschool education?\",\"answer\":\"To determine what features an inclusive preschool education program should have and to identify principles and characteristics for such programs and inclusive preschool teachers.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the Delphi study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"Through interview questions and surveys across three Delphi rounds, with experts participating as the rounds progressed from 24 to 17 and then 14.\"},{\"question\":\"What key results were reported about the experts’ responses?\",\"answer\":\"Content analysis of experts’ first responses produced categories, and the study found that the experts mentioned 52 items across 4 separate categories.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Special Issue 8(2) - Full Length Research Paper - Determining the characteristics of an inclusive preschool education program: A Delphi study | PDF",1792070776,23]
