Young Children's Knowledge of Their Classrooms: Names, Activities, and Purposes of Learning Centers.

Holmes, Robyn; Cunningham, Bruce

Education and Treatment of Children, v18 n4 p433-42 Nov 1995

This study examined 40 preschool children's knowledge of learning centers in their classrooms. Results revealed that children were more able to name an activity for each center than to name the centers, and were least able to describe the developmental purposes of the centers. Children's drawings of their classrooms suggest that they recognize the compartmentalized scheme of learning centers. (Author/PB)
