An Exploratory Study of Demographic Characteristics, Retention, and Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Kindergarten.
Zepeda, Marlene
Child Study Journal, v23 n1 p57-78 1993
Explored demographic characteristics and retention status of kindergarten children and curricular practices of kindergarten teachers. Retained children appeared to come from low-income, female-headed households; had no preschool experience; and were disproportionately from ethnic and language minorities. Teachers from high-retaining school sites reported using more developmentally inappropriate activities than teachers from low-retaining sites. (BB)
