Preschoolers' Funds of Knowledge Displayed through Sociodramatic Play Episodes in a Bilingual Classroom.
Riojas-Cortez, Mari
Early Childhood Education Journal, v29 n1 p35-40 Fall 2001
Investigated Mexican American cultural traits displayed by young children during sociodramatic play in a bilingual preschool classroom. Cultural traits identified as funds of knowledge include language, values, beliefs, ways of discipline, household care, and value of education. Findings underscore the inadequacy of representing cultures through material symbols and the value of play as an indicator of children's cultural awareness. (JPB)
