摘要：Subjects were two teachers each with higher or with lower play teaching eficacy,and the 111 four- and five-year old children they taught. Using naturalistic observation,children's constructive play was videotaped and transcribed for 60 minutes on ten consecutive days in each cassoom. Play was analyzed by level of constructive play,continuous length of play,varity of materials,enrichment of activities, and coherence of content. Constructive play of chilren whose teachers had higher eficacy in teaching play showed longer continuous play,used a higher varity of materials,and their play had more creative integrity. Five year-olds exhibited longer continuous play,used a larger variety of play materials,more enrichment of play activity,and more coherence in play contents than four-year-olds..
