Investigated
the role of classroom characteristics and preschool children's complex
interactions with teachers, objects and peers. Found that complex
interactions with objects were most probable in dramatic play and
in art activities with the teacher present. Complex peer interactions
were rare, but complex teacher interactions were probable in one-on-one
student teacher interaction or during dramatic play. (JPB)
