A study of
60 preschool, kindergarten, and first grade teachers found significant
relationships among teachers' beliefs about how children learn;
their views on the goals of early childhood education; their positions
on policies related to school entry, testing, and retention; their
satisfaction with current practices, and pressures for change; and
their actual practices. (TJQ)
