Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of singing games on the moral development of pre-primary school children. Specifically, the study sought to find out the influence of singing games on character formation among pre-primary school children. The study employed a descriptive survey design. The target population was 2,446 respondents, constituting 2000 pre-primary school children, 230 teachers, 215 parents, and the Kisii South Sub-County ECDE Director. Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) table was used to obtain a sample of 331 respondents. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used. Questionnaires, interviews, and observation schedules were used as tools of data collection. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were coded and categorized through the identification of themes and patterns. The study found that most of the children who entirely and actively participated in singing games at school had a positive change in their moral development through character formation, with a correlation value of r=.260. These findings signified that for society to have morally upright children, there is a need for emphasis on more singing games by curriculum designers and educators for effective moral development. The findings will be useful to teachers, educational policymakers and practitioners, and educators in fine-tuning their pedagogical approaches, allocating teaching and learning resources, developing and designing the curriculum, and assessing the effectiveness of singing games on moral development. Finally, this study would help enhance the existing literature upon which potential researchers will base related work.
歌唱游戏在学前儿童性格形成中的作用
摘要本研究旨在探讨歌唱游戏对学前儿童道德发展的影响。具体来说,本研究试图找出唱歌游戏对学龄前儿童性格形成的影响。本研究采用描述性调查设计。目标人群为2,446名受访者,包括2000名学龄前儿童、230名教师、215名家长和基西南副县ECDE主任。Krejcie和Morgan(1970)的表格被用来获得331名受访者的样本。采用简单随机抽样和有目的抽样。问卷调查、访谈和观察表是数据收集的工具。定量数据使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析,而定性数据通过确定主题和模式进行编码和分类。研究发现,在学校里全身心、积极参与歌唱游戏的孩子,大部分通过性格塑造在道德发展方面都有积极的变化,相关值r= 0.260。这些发现表明,为了让社会拥有道德正直的孩子,课程设计师和教育工作者需要强调更多的歌唱游戏,以有效地发展道德。研究结果将有助于教师、教育政策制定者和实践者以及教育工作者微调他们的教学方法、分配教学资源、开发和设计课程,以及评估歌唱游戏对道德发展的有效性。最后,本研究将有助于加强现有文献,为潜在的研究者提供相关工作的基础。
