Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this observational study was to examine the amount and type of writing instruction and practice in kindergarten classrooms. Participants included 78 kindergarten teachers from 34 elementary schools across three states in the US. Classroom teachers were videotaped three times (fall, winter, and spring) during the academic year. We assessed the multidimensional components of writing instruction and practice at the level of specificity using a time-sampled, observational scale. The results demonstrated that most kindergarten teachers devoted considerable time to teaching writing (7 minutes a day) and providing opportunities for children to practice writing (24 minutes a day). Kindergarten teachers delivered instruction and practice to the whole group and relied on teacher modeling and monitoring and providing feedback to structure writing instruction and practice. In addition, most of the variability in classroom practices occurred within individual teachers. Considerable variability was also observed in classroom practices across schools, which signal the influence of schools on teachers’ writing practices.

幼儿园课堂写作教学与实践的观察研究

摘要本观察研究的目的是检验幼儿园课堂上写作教学和实践的数量和类型。参与者包括来自美国三个州34所小学的78名幼儿园教师。课堂教师在学年中被录像三次（秋季、冬季和春季）。我们使用时间抽样、观察量表在特异性水平上评估了写作教学和实践的多维组成部分。研究结果表明，大多数幼儿园教师花了相当多的时间教授写作（每天7分钟），并为孩子们提供练习写作的机会（每天24分钟）。幼儿园教师向整个小组提供教学和实践，并依靠教师建模和监督以及提供反馈来构建写作教学和实践。此外，课堂实践的大部分可变性发生在个别教师身上。不同学校的课堂实践也存在相当大的差异，这表明学校对教师写作实践的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
