Abstract
THE EFFECT OF THE FITTED FAMILY STATUS ON THE CHILD'S SCHOOL SUCCESS
Socialization begins in the first family. A baby who opens his eyes to life first meets his parents and then his immediate surroundings. In particular, parents have many financial and moral duties towards this new member of life. It means that the parents have accepted these duties by default from the first days when the child begins to form in the mother's womb. If the mother and father unwillingly (death, divorce, etc.) or renounced these duties in a possible situation, the child will be adversely affected in terms of meeting his economic, psychological and social needs. This deficiency experienced by the child will have an impact on many areas of his life (school success, value creation, etc.). This study, which deals with the problems experienced by these children, which we will describe as the children of a broken family from now on, especially in terms of adaptation to school culture and school success, has been prepared in order to draw attention to the effect of the family on education.
The method used in the research was a qualitative research design and quantitative data were also used, and the data were obtained by taking the expert opinions of 50 classroom teachers who had broken family children in their classrooms.
When the findings obtained as a result of the research were evaluated, it was seen that the school success of the children with a broken family situation did not change according to their gender. In the study, there was no data that could explain which group of children were affected more according to the broken family situation (death and divorce). According to the results of the research, it was seen that the children of broken families showed behavior problems at school, but no definite conclusions were reached about the effect on the school culture. In the examination of the school success of the children of broken families, it was observed that the school success of these children was generally at a medium-low level.
