Abstract :The SOLO Taxonomy is one of the effective tools for determining students’ levels of learning. Within the scope of this research, the learning and sub-learning outcomes associated with domain-specific skills in the Century of Türkiye Education Model Preschool Education Program were examined according to the levels of the SOLO Taxonomy. The research process was carried out within the theoretical framework of document analysis, a qualitative research method. The Century of Türkiye Education Model Preschool Education Program comprises seven main learning area skills. In this context, considering their operational characteristics, 98 learning outcomes and 329 sub-learning outcomes were analyzed according to SOLO Taxonomy levels. The findings of the research indicate that, across all learning area skills and age groups within the Program, the majority of both learning outcomes and sub-learning outcomes correspond to the “relational” level. While the “unistructural” level was least represented among the learning outcomes, the “extended abstract” level was the least represented among the sub-learning outcomes. The research aimed to highlight the importance of incorporating the fundamental principles of the SOLO Taxonomy into the interpretation of learning outcomes related to learning area skills at the preschool education level, as well as into the evaluation of children’s achievements within the context of the Century of Türkiye Education Model Preschool Education Program. In light of the research findings, it is recommended that the learning experiences of both young children and teachers in early childhood education be enhanced in accordance with the principles of learning depth articulated by the SOLO Taxonomy. Accordingly, the development of rigorous instructional models and evidence-based educational materials is advised, alongside the strengthening of curriculum learning outcomes to ensure alignment with higher-order cognitive structures.
