Description
Play is an important aspect of children’s social, emotional, and physical development that is being pushed out of kindergarten because of the drive to meet standards and exceed on assessments. This research explores the perspectives of half-day and full-day kindergarten teachers on play-based learning. Particularly, the value teachers place on the integration of play-based learning into kindergarten instruction, as well as how often they use play-based instruction, are assessed. Furthermore, the influences and pressures kindergarten teachers perceive as barriers to the implementation of play-based learning are investigated. Finally, strategies to implement play-based learning within a standards-based culture of assessment are presented.
