Early Childhood Education Teachers: Do They Practice What They Preach?

Stipek, Deborah J.; Byler, Patricia

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v12 n3 p305-25 1997

A study of 60 preschool, kindergarten, and first grade teachers found significant relationships among teachers' beliefs about how children learn; their views on the goals of early childhood education; their positions on policies related to school entry, testing, and retention; their satisfaction with current practices, and pressures for change; and their actual practices.
