Work and Play in the Classroom.
King, Nancy R.
Social Education, v46 n2 p110-13 Feb 1982
Examines a recent study of children's definitions of classroom work and play and discusses the implications of the findings for curriculum and teaching. Findings show that children in kindergarten call required work activities, work, and voluntary ones, play. Fifth graders define play as any activity, voluntary or required, which is pleasurable. (AM)
