ABSTRACT: This study
aims to investigate pre-school children’s perception of teacher in their
drawings. The research group consists of 226 students in pre-school education
institutions within city centers of Ankara and Giresun Provinces. Teacher
drawings that children drew by instruction were analyzed with the Draw a
Scientist Test—DAST which was developed by Chambers (1983) and consists of 13
categories and six sub-categories. In drawings of children included in this
study, no drawings were found related to 3 categories; hence, only the drawings
in other categories were assessed. The presence of sub-categories in each
category was taken into account while coding. The frequencies and percentages
obtained via descriptive statistics were presented on tables. According to the
findings, majority of the children generally give place to positive properties
in their drawings.
