Özet:

 People can preserve their names in history only through the lasting works they leave behind. Ehmedê Xanî, a distinguished Kurdish scholar, madrasa teacher, and mystic, is one such figure whose name continues to live on after his death through both his literary works and the services he rendered to his people and culture. Influenced by the social realities of his region and deeply concerned with the problems of his people, Xanî sought solutions to these issues and developed a universal perspective through his literary output. Beyond addressing the problems of his own society, he also engaged with the common problems of humanity and was in constant search of meaningful solutions. As someone who lived a life devoted to knowledge and wisdom, who was familiar with palace circles due to his early work as a royal scribe, and who educated many students, Xanî rejected superficial approaches that lacked real solutions and instead endeavored to provide lasting and profound remedies. In addition to being a poet and author, Xanîs intellectual breadth made him well-versed in disciplines such as history, psychology, and philosophy, enabling him to analyze events and phenomena from multiple perspectives. Thus, he emerged as an exceptional figure from among his people, offering profound insights and solution-oriented thinking during a time of significant social, political, and cultural turbulence. Through his proposals, he demonstrated a forward-thinking vision and shed light on many contemporary intellectual challenges. As a wise scholar, poet, writer, educator, and philosopher, Ehmedê Xanî authored four major masterpieces over the course of his approximately sixty-year life, all written in Kurdish. He did not write simply for the sake of literature but dedicated his artand indeed his entire lifeto the future of his nation. Aware of the importance of childrens moral development, since they would grow up to leave deep impressions on others through their attitudes and behaviors, Xanî emerged as an educator with a vision for shaping future generations. In addition to his general works, he specifically addressed children in two significant texts. These two works, Nûbara Biçûkan and Eqîdeya Îmanê, are among the earliest contributions to the field of child education. This study begins with the hypothesis that these two works written by Ehmedê Xanî, with a focus on children, are of great significance in the specific field of child education and should be analyzed accordingly. The research centers around two main questions: What is Ehmedê Xanîs approach to child education? and What role do Nûbara Biçûkan and Eqîdeya Îmanê play in this regard? Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine Xanîs approach to child education based on his two works written for children. It is believed that the insights derived from a detailed examination of Xanîs views and approaches to child education could contribute meaningfully to todays educational paradigms. The study employs one of the qualitative research methods - document analysis. In line with this method and the aim stated above, the study first addresses Ehmedê Xanîs life, the period in which he lived, the characteristics of that era, his place and significance in intellectual history, the educational understanding of the time, and child education practices. It then examines in detail the two educational works he authored, Nûbara Biçûkan and Eqîdeya Îmanê, focusing on their content related to child education.

 İnsanlar ancak verdikleri kalıcı eserlerle adlarını dünyada yaşatmaya devam edebilirler. Bir Kürt âlimi, müderrisi ve mutasavvıfı olan Ehmedê Xanî de hem eserleriyle hem de milletine ve kültürüne yaptığı hizmetlerle ölümünden sonra adını dünyada yaşatmaya devam eden mümtaz bir şahsiyettir. Yaşadığı bölgenin toplumsal gerçekliğinden etkilenmiş ve halkının sorunlarıyla ilgilenmiş, söz konusu sorunlar için çözüm arayışı içine girmiş bulunan Xanî, yazdığı edebî eserler aracılığıyla evrensel bir bakış açısı geliştirmiştir. Ehmedê Xanî, yaşadığı toplumun meselelerini dile getirmenin yanı sıra insanlığın ortak problemlerine eğilerek bu problemlere yönelik sürekli bir çözüm arayışı içinde olmuştur. Yaşamını ilim ve irfanla geçirmiş, saray çevresini bilen, genç yaşta saray kâtipliği yapmış ve böylece saray çevresini yakından tanımış, çok sayıda talebe yetiştirmiş biri olarak Xanî, gerçek çözüm barındırmayan yüzeysel yaklaşımları reddetmiş ve kalıcı çözümler üretmeye çalışmıştır. Bir şair ve müellif olmanın yanında, Xanînin birikimi, onu tarih, psikoloji ve felsefe gibi disiplinlere vakıf, olayları ve durumları çok yönlü analiz edebilen derinlikli bir düşünür haline getirmiştir. Böylece Ehmedê Xanî, yaşadığı dönemin toplumsal, siyasal ve kültürel çalkantıları içerisinde halkının içinden çıkan ve onları yakından tanıyan, sorunlarına dair geliştirdiği derin kavrayışla çözüm önerileri sunmuş müstesna bir şahsiyet olmuştur. Xanî ortaya koyduğu çözüm önerileriyle çağının ilerisinde bir düşünce ufkuna sahip olduğunu göstermiş ve günümüzün düşünsel problemlerine ışık tutmuştur. Bilge, şair, edip, eğitimci, filozof bir Kürt müderrisi olan Ehmedê Xanî, yaklaşık altmış yıllık ömründe, yazdığı birçok beyitin yanı sıra ismiyle müsemma olmuş dört şaheserin de sahibidir. Xanî, bunların tamamını Kürtçe yazmıştır. Sadece eser yazmak için yazmamış, sanatını, hatta bütünüyle yaşamını milletinin geleceği için tabir yerindeyse feda etmiş âlim ve müderris bir önder kişiliktir. Büyüdüklerinde her türlü tutum ve davranışları insanlar üzerinde derin etkiler bırakacak olan çocukların, iyi bir kişiliğe sahip olmaları gerektiğinin farkında olan bir eğitmen olarak tarih sahnesine çıkan Xanî, genele yönelik eserlerinin yanı sıra toplumun geleceği olarak gördüğü çocuklar için de ayrıca iki eser yazmıştır. Çocuk eğitimi alanında çok önemli iki eser olan Nûbara Biçûkan ve Eqîdeya Îmanê ilgili alandaki ilk çalışmalardandır. Bu çalışma, Ehmedê Xanînin çocukları dikkate alarak yazmış olduğu iki eserinin çocuk eğitimi gibi spesifik bir alan açısından önemli olduğu ve bu yönden değerlendirilebileceği hipotezinden çıkmıştır. Buna göre Ehmedê Xanînin çocuk eğitimine bakışı nasıldır? ve Nûbara Biçûkan ile Eqîdeya Îmanê adlı eserlerinin bu konudaki rolü nedir? soruları araştırmanın odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çalışmanın amacı, Ehmedê Xanînin çocuklar için yazmış olduğu Nûbara Biçûkan ve Eqîdeya Îmanê adlı eserlerinden hareketle şairin çocuk eğitimine yaklaşımını incelemektir. Xanînin çocuk eğitimi ile ilgili görüş ve yaklaşımlarının detaylı bir şekilde incelenmesi sonucunda yapılan çıkarımlar ve ulaşılan sonuçların günümüzün çocuk eğitimi ile ilgili yaklaşımlarına bir katkı sunması açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan doküman incelemesine göre yürütülmüştür. Yukarıda belirtilen amaç çerçevesinde ve doküman incelemesine uygun bir şekilde ilk olarak Ehmedê Xanînin hayatı, yetiştiği dönem ve o dönemin özellikleri, Xanînin düşünce tarihindeki yeri ve önemi, dönemin eğitim anlayışı ve çocuk eğitimi, Xanînin eğitimci kişiliği ve Ehmedê Xanîde çocuk eğitimi konuları üzerinde durulmuştur. Ardından çocuk eğitimi ile ilgili yazdığı Nûbara Biçûkan ve Eqîdeya Îmanê adlı eserleri ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Böylece bilge şairin çocuk eğitimi konusundaki görüşleri analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler sistematik, açık ve anlaşılır bir şekilde yorumlanarak ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma Xanînin eğitimci kişiliğini ve çocuk eğitimine bakışını müstakil olarak ele alması bakımından özgündür.
