Ethnic Background, Classroom Instruction and Child Behavior in Kindergarten: The Role of the Teacher to Stimulate Children in the Classroom by Giving Individual Attention.
Schonewille, B.; van der Leij, A.
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v1 n2 p11-26 1993
Examined effects of ethnic background on group interaction and student-teacher relations by observing 273 Turkish, Surinam, and Dutch 4-year olds and their teachers in 29 Dutch schools. Found Turkish and Surinam pupils were less involved in group activities than Dutch children and, in play situations, teachers appeared to give more attention to Dutch than to Turkish and Surinam pupils.
