Abstract

With executive function skills, individuals become aware of their own structure and learning characteristics. As a result of studies conducted with university students, it is thought that executive function skills and grade points are related. However, there is no study conducted with pre-service preschool teachers who will work in close relationships with children throughout their professional lives. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between executive function skills and grade points of pre-service preschool teachers. The data obtained from 540 university students face-to-face with consent form were analysed with SPSS software. It was found that there was no significant relationship between executive function skills and grade points regardless of grade level and according to grade level. In addition, while there was no significant difference in students' executive function skills according to grade level, a significant difference was found in students' grade points.
