Honig, Alice Sterling; Hirallal, Andrea
Early Child Development and Care, v145 p31-46 Jun 1998
Observed 81 caregivers from 24 urban centers interacting with 3- to 5-year olds. Interactions were categorized into negative/positive, language facilitation, concept promotion, and caregiving and cleaning-up domains. When all positive teacher interactions were combined, found that early childhood education/child development coursework accounted for over 62% of variance in teacher inputs. (KB)
