Singapore Preschoolers' Play in Relation to Social Class, Sex and Setting.

Lim, Swee Eng; Honig, Alice Sterling

Early Child Development and Care, v135 p35-39 Aug 1997

Used Smilansky and Parten/Piaget play measures to assess social class and sex differences in Singapore preschoolers' play at home and preschool centers. Found that parallel and functional play were higher at home than in centers and associative/cooperative play was higher in centers than homes. Smilansky scores were higher at centers than homes, and higher for girls than for boys. (Author/KB)
