ΟΙΚΟΛΟΓΙΚΗ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΣΥΜΠΕΡΙΦΟΡΑΣ ΠΑΙΔΙΩΝ ΠΡΟΣΧΟΛΙΚΗΣ ΗΛΙΚΙΑΣ. ΠΡΟΣΧΟΛΙΚΗ ΤΑΞΗ ΚΑΙ Η ΕΠΙΔΡΑΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΔΙΑΜΟΡΦΩΣΗΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΙΚΟΥ ΧΩΡΟΥ ΣΤΗ ΣΥΜΠΕΡΙΦΟΡΑ

THIS STUDY AIMED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT SPACE ARRANGEMENT IN PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM HAS ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF PRESCHOOLERS. THE HYPOTHESIS WAS THE BEHAVIOUR IS INFLUENCED NOT ONLY BY THE ACTIVITY AREAS FOUND IN A CLASSROOM BUT ALSO BY THE OVERALL ARRANGEMENT OF THE SPACE, I.E. THE ADJACENCY OF THE ACTIVITY AREAS, THAT CONSTITUTES A BEHAVIOUR SETTING. THREE GROUPS OF CHILDREN (24,26 AND 24 RESPECTIVELY) OF BOTH SEXES, AGED 2 YEARS 4 MONTHS TO 4 YEARS 3 MONTHS, WERE OBSERVED IN THEIR CLASSROOM IN THREE DIFFERENT NURSERY SCHOOLS IN PARIS. ALL CHILDREN WERE OF MIDDLE OR LOW SES. THE THREE CLASSROOMS SHARED THE SAME FIVE ACTIVITY AREAS, NAMELY KITCHEN, DOLLS, LIBRARY, DRAWING, AND CONSTRUCTIONS; THEY DIFFERED IN THEIR SPACE ARRANGEMENT. THE TIME SAMPLING METHOD OF DIRECT OBSERVATION WAS EMPLOYED. ALL CHILDREN WERE INDIVIDUALLY OBSERVED OF 15 SEC EACH FOR EACH SUBJECT. FIVE SETS OF BEHAVIOURS WERE RECORDED: SOCIAL PARTICIPATION, RELEVANCE, AFFECT, CHANGE OF ACTIVITY, AND CHANGE OF ACTIVITY AREA. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT SPACE ARRANGEMENT AFFECTED BEHAVIOUR, PARTICULARLY SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AND RELEVANCE OF BEHAVIOUR. HOWEVER, SPACE ARRANGEMENT INTERACTED WITH ACTIVITY AREA, DENSITY AND OTHER ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLASSROOM SUCH AS "OPENNESS" AND VISIBILITY OF OTHER ACTIVITY AREAS. SEX DIFFERENCES WERE ALSO RECORDED IN PRESCHOOLERS' BEHAVIOUR, PARTICULARLY IN ACTIVITY AREAS TRADITIONALLY ASSOCIATEDWITH "SEX-SPECIFIC" ACTIVITIES.
