Properties of Social Games and Social Interactions of a Special Needed Child in Inclusive Preschool Education

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze a special needed children’s social play and properties of social interactions. The study was a descriptive qualitative research. Case study approach was applied and time intervals used to determine the behaviors. 1200 minutes of free play episodes were tape recorded and five minutes time intervals were used. Results revealed that a child with cognitive delay play less group play (521) comparing to her peers. Considerately intensive parallel play had been observed (%50). Even though her isolated play rate (%17) came after the group and parallel play, it was also high considering her age level. Results related to social play properties indicated that she often interacts with adults (%44). Her interactions often developed as a respond (%49) to interaction attempts. Even though her emotional status were mostly positive (%59) in interactions, she was not engaged in any interactions %33 of the time. Her interactions showed some development (%40) yet, she also had a high level of repetition (%27). These results and disadvantages are typical for special needed children however it has been found that the components of social interaction and group play can be used to improve her social abilities
