摘要：Subjects were 15 teachers and 143 children at 15 child-care centers in Seoul that varied by quality of care. The Child Care Program Observation Scale(Rhee et at.,2003) was employed to observe the quality of the centers. Information on teachers` participation in play was collected by 20 units of observation for each teacher using a rating scale developed by the author. Children`s behaviors were observed with time sampling method in 12 categories of play behaviors based on Social and Cognitive Play Scales(Rubin et al.,1978). Children`s play behaviors varied by quality of child-care centers and teachers` participation in play. When child-care quality was high,teachers` participated actively in children`s play and children showed developmentally appropriate play behaviors.
