摘要：The objective of this research is to examine the observations and views of preschool teachers on private speech. Research was performed within the framework of phenomenological pattern out of qualitative research patterns. This data was collected through a semi-structured interview form designed by the researchers with 44 pre-school teachers. Raw data was analysed with frequency analysis and categorical analysis. It was seen that the statements they used were partially consistent with the claims of Vygotsky et al. in terms of the context, content and function of private speech. Moreover, it was determined that the views of preschool teachers on the function of private speech commonly focus on two different functions as descriptive function and motivational function.
