Examined impact
of three preschool models identified through cluster analysis of
teacher-survey responses on 4-year olds' development and basic-skill
mastery. Found that children in the child-initiated model demonstrated
greater skill mastery than children in programs emphasizing academics
and skill instruction. Children in the combination model did more
poorly on almost all measures than others. Girls generally outperformed
boys. (Author/KB)
