Evaluation, Standard Setting, and Attributions in Preschool Classrooms: An Observational Study.

Potter, Ellen F.

Child Study Journal, v16 n2 p143-58 1986

Investigates the evaluation processes used in preschools, focusing on such issues as the extent to which (1) teachers use standards to support their evaluations; (2) whether standards teachers use are congruent with those that research and theory suggest would be used by preschool children; and (3) the extent to which teachers make causal attributions for children's successes and failures.
