Symbolic Play in Mixed-Age and Same-Age Groups.

Umek, Ljubica Marjanovic; Musek, Petra Lesnik

European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v5 n2 p47-59 1997

Investigated the content, degree of complexity, and wholeness of the transformation in symbolic play among same-age and mixed-age groups of 4- to 7-year olds in Slovenia. Results confirm that, in mixed-age groups, the role definition in symbolic play is provided on a higher level than in same-age groups, which enables social imaginative play to develop. (JPB)
