Length of Activity Periods and Play Behaviors of Preschool Children.
Tegano, Deborah W.; Burdette, Marsha P.
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v5 n2 p93-99 Spr-Sum 1991
Examined the effects of activity period duration on preschoolers' play with playdough and blocks. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed significantly more constructive and dramatic play, and less functional play, at the end of the play period. Differences between the quality of play in block and playdough centers were found. (Author/BB)
