Correlation between educators understanding and applying of role play activities for preschoolers language, social and emotion development
description <p>This study aims to determine the relationship between educators' understanding and</p><p>applying of role play activities for preschoolers' language, social, and emotion</p><p>development. A quantitative study was used to collect questionnaires from preschool</p><p>educators in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, China, who teach preschoolers aged five</p><p>to six years old. A total of 352 educators (Private Urban N=110, Private Rural N=73,</p><p>Public Urban N=101, Public Rural N=68) were chosen as research samples using</p><p>stratified random sampling. The online platform Questionnaire Star is used for</p><p>questionnaire distribution, which has been validated by experts and pilot studies.</p><p>Inferential statistical analyses, such as correlation and regression models, are used to</p><p>interpret the findings. Results showed that educators' understanding and applying of</p><p>role play have a positive effect on preschoolers' language development (r=0.31, p<0.00),</p><p>social development (r=0.31, p<0.00), and emotion development (r=0.30, p<0.00).</p><p>However, neither teaching experience nor types of preschools have a significant effect.</p><p>Educators conduct little role play sessions in teaching activities, and costumes, props,</p><p>and scripts are less used in role play activities. In conclusion, this study enriches the</p><p>educational connotation of role play activities, comprehensively studies preschoolers'</p><p>language, social, and emotion development, and further innovates and expands the</p><p>theoretical research methods of preschoolers' development. Simultaneously, it provides</p><p>a more scientific foundation for front-line educators and preschools to implement role</p><p>play activities suitably.</p>
