Abstract

During the developmental periods, childhood and religious education taken during this period are very important for the individual to form the basis of adult life. At the same time, individual learns intensively and his/her personality begins to form in this period. The fact that the child is with the family in preschool period gives parents the opportunity to start religious education in the family. Children aged 2-6 learn more through modelling and observation. This learning style is called social learning theory. Children start to learn the values primarily through social learning in their family. Although parents are not aware of this theory, the process takes place accordingly. It is clear that there is a close relationship between values and religion. It is known that value education has a mutual relationship with the religious field in terms of content and method. Child’s learning of values, many behaviours and emotions through observation reveals the necessity of examining the issues that parents should pay attention to while they are teaching values. In accordance with this process, there are some basic principles that parents should pay attention to religious education of a child. The principles suggested in the article were tried to be determined by making the literature review. In this study, value teaching of a family was built around Social Learning Theory. In addition, religious education for children and the issues that parents should pay attention to in the education process are discussed within the framework of the characteristics and value education of the early childhood period. In this respect, the principles to be considered with social learning theory in the teaching of values are explained by limiting with six principles in this study.
