Coplan, Robert J.; Wichmann, Cherami; Lagace-Seguin, Daniel G.; Rachlis, Lorne M.; McVey, Marianna K.
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v14 n1 p78-90 Fall-Win 1999
Explored differences in the social and cognitive development of 4-year-olds in junior kindergarten taught by differentially educated instructors. Found that children taught by early childhood educators with 2-year college degrees in early childhood education and those taught by teachers with a university teaching certificate did not differ in social and cognitive skills. Findings pose conceptual and policy implications. (Author/KB)
