Abstract
This research investigates preschool teachers' views on classroom practices to support children's self-regulation skills. The study was conducted with 27 preschool teachers working in the Independent Kindergarten affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the city center of Bursa in Turkey. Data were obtained from teachers by asking semi-structured questions using the interview technique. Descriptive analysis was used to evaluate the data from the interviews. As a result, the teachers participating in the research stated that self-regulation skills could be gained by teaching children emotion management and self-care skills and supporting their ability to express their feelings and thoughts comfortably and appropriately. In addition, the teachers stated that they mainly included stories, play, and drama activities that support daily life skills in the classroom, and teachers stated that they arranged the materials in the learning centers and other materials in the classroom so children could easily access them.
