How Play and Work are Organized in a Kindergarten Classroom

Pages 47-57 | Received 06 Jan 1993, Published online: 03 Nov 2009
 

Abstract

A one-year ethnographic study of the organization of work and play was conducted in a kindergarten founded to foster spontaneous play in the generation of work, as inspired by Froebel and Dewey. My study describes how the dominance of structures favoring work in the use of time, product tracking, and instructive language has severely reduced the time, social relationships, and generative scenarios available to children in play.
