Changes in Social Play Behavior as a Function of Preschool Programs.
Wintre, Maxine Gallander
Journal of Educational Research, v82 n5 p294-301 May-Jun 1989
This field study suggests that preschoolers' social play should be viewed as a developmentally expanding repertoire of skills and that the performance of the skills is a function of the expectations of the preschool environment (school philosophy and practice). Subjects were 54 Canadian preschoolers, aged 4 and 5. (IAH)
