Abstract :Children attending pre-school education come with different abilities, interests and needs. It is also difficult for teachers to create activities for children from different backgrounds and different beginning levels, and to carry their development to higher levels. Differentiated instruction is a pedagogical approach that involves differentiating the curriculum, teaching methods, resources used, activities implemented and products of children to meet the learning needs of children with different readiness levels, interests and learning styles in the same classroom. Given the diversity of children in democratic and multicultural societies, differentiated instruction helps to turn these differences into an advantage and to address their learning needs appropriately. The differentiated teaching approach ensures the acceptance of children\'s differences, deep respect for children and the development of all children. Changes and developments in education have increased the need for differentiated instruction. The aim of this study is to present a general framework for differentiated instruction in the light of studies on differentiated instruction in preschool education between 2005 and 2022 in the literature. For this purpose, a systematic literature review on differentiated instruction in preschool education was conducted and the effects of differentiated instruction in pre-school education were examined. The 41 articles obtained as a result of the scanning were examined according to the year of publication, the impact factors of the journals in which they were published, the subjects studied, the methods used, analysis methods, data collection sources, data collection tools and samples. As a result, in the scanned studies; It is seen that teachers are trained about the differentiated teaching approach, and as a result of the trainings, the practices made by the teachers support the development of children. Teachers\' and pre-service teachers\' attitudes and interests towards differentiated instruction are low due to their lack of knowledge about differentiated instruction, a limited number of scales have been developed regarding the differentiated instruction approach in preschool education, and differentiated instruction can be used not only for children with disabilities, but also for all children, as in curriculum studies. and it has been concluded that it has positive effects on the developmental areas of all children.Keywords : Okul öncesi eğitim, farklılaştırılmış öğretim, betimsel yöntem
