University Students’ Insights about Developmental Appropriateness and Threats to Preschool and Kindergarten Education
Friday September 27, 2024 4:00pm - 6:00pm EDT
Children's Museum Rm Be Anything Place -- LOWER LEVEL
In this session, we will share our findings from a survey study exploring undergraduate and graduate students’ perceptions of preschool and kindergarten schooling. Participants were asked to rank educational experiences by their perceptions of instructional appropriateness by developmental stage and to share their beliefs about threats to childhood development. Survey data was analyzed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. We will connect our findings to the extant literature and share implications for higher education programs.
