Şule Sarıbaş serves as a Research Assistant at the Department of Basic Education, Faculty of Education, Çukurova University, Turkey, a position held continuously since 2018. She completed her PhD in Preschool Education at the same institution in 2025, focusing on socioeconomic factors affecting school adaptation in disadvantaged preschoolers.
Her academic credentials include:
- Doctorate in Preschool Education, Çukurova University (2018-2025)
- Postgraduate in Preschool Education, Çukurova University (2014-2018)
Dr. Sarıbaş's research centers on critical gaps in early childhood education, particularly outdoor play dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic, parental engagement in early mathematics development, and drama-based interventions for social-emotional learning. Her work consistently addresses Turkey-specific challenges including socioeconomic disparities in educational access and teacher identity formation among pre-service educators. Methodologically, she prioritizes action research and qualitative approaches to capture nuanced classroom and familial interactions.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant thematic clusters: (1) pandemic-induced disruptions to children's outdoor play environments, (2) scaffolding techniques for parental mathematics discourse, and (3) drama pedagogy for fostering inclusive classrooms. These streams demonstrate her commitment to translating research into practical teacher training frameworks, as evidenced by her leadership in creative drama certification programs.
