摘要:In order toidentify the daily activities of five-year old children in a daycare center,the 23 children in "Yellow" class at "Yellow" Daycare Center were observed for seven months. Research was informed by a qualitative approach. Findings were that : children were rigidly atached to a time frame built into their daily classroom schedule,arranged by time and classroom space alotted to each unit. The meaning to the children was to be found in their "busyness," they were very busy finalizing activities imposed by teachers within a short period of time. They spent most of their time moving about from one space to another within the cassroom,and they played with their mostly arificial toys under rules set by the teacher.
