Abstract :This research aims to evaluate the perceptions of teacher acceptance-rejection of preschool children aged 6 years, developed by Rohner and Giotsa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2012); Early Childhood Parental Acceptance Rejection Scale: Child Short Form insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ECPARQ);, Preschool Teacher Acceptance Rejection Scale: To adapt the Child\`s Short Form as 6 Years Old insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PTARQ); into Turkish and to carry out validity and reliability studies. In this study, a descriptive survey model was preferred. The research sample consists of 400 children in total from 4 private and 3 public kindergartens. In this study, the \`Preschool Teacher Acceptance Rejection Scale: Child Short Form 6 Years Old\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PTARQ); and parent consent form, which was developed by Rohner and Giotsa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2012); and adapted into Turkish, and whose validity and reliability studies were carried out, were applied. The scale consists of 23 items with four Likert options. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis applied, the scale showed a 4-factor structure. To determine reliability, item-total score, Cronbach\`s alpha reliability coefficient and time invariance coefficient were examined. The consistency coefficients were .89 for the whole scale; subscales: warmth/affection .82, hostility/aggression .92, indifference/neglect .71, undifferentiated rejection .79. The reliability coefficient between two applications is .99. Research findings show that the scale can measure teacher acceptance-rejection perceptions of preschool children aged 6 years validly and reliably.
