Cross-national Perspectives on Developmentally Appropriate Practices for Early Childhood Programs.
Hoot, James L.; And Others
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v10 n2 p160-69 Spr-Sum 1996
Surveyed preschool administrators, teachers, and parents from four countries about what constitutes developmentally appropriate preschool practice. Found that respondents from Finland scored high on all survey items. Administrators and teachers from the United States scored higher than U.S. parents, who preferred a more formal, academic approach. Respondents from China and Ecuador scored high on some items and low on others. (HTH)
