Teaching large-group time in a preschool classroom: The teacher as orchestra conductor

Abstract

dc:description

This study is about large-group conversation in a preschool classroom. Conversation in dyads and in small groups has been valued highly, however, the importance of large-group conversation has ignored by the dominant discourse of early childhood education. Several research studies of preschool large-group time found that the same few activities recur and that teachers focus merely on children's socialization. These studies have not tried to convey teachers' views about large-group time.
