Protocol of Self-Regulation in Early Learners: The Role of Recreational Programs

The study titled "Protocol of Self-Regulation in Early Learners: The Role of Recreational Programs" focuses on the influence of structured recreational activities on the development of self-regulation skills among preschool children. Self-regulation is a crucial ability, facilitating children's academic performance, social behaviors, and emotional well-being. RAP, which included fun games and lasted 24 sessions, was applied to the students in the study group. Twenty-four sessions include games that help gain rhythm, balance, and patience. The program is planned according to the game theory model, which aims to have fun for children. The program, which aims to develop children's self-regulation skills based on the essential reflections of the model, will include fun games with simple rules. Before the program was implemented, the researchers informed the experimental group about the research and the program, and verbal consent was obtained from the participants.
