Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of technological equipment at home on school readiness of primary school children. The sample of the study consisted of 300 children at the ages of 5, 5.5, and 6. The data were gathered through a survey form which consisted of 6 questions and Development and Implementation forms of the Marmara Scale for Primary School Readiness. The results were analyzed using t test and analysis of variance with one dimension. The results indicated that a number of variables related to technological equipment at home of pre-school children led to differences in primary school readiness.
