LOPES, Luísa; CORREIA, Nadine y AGUIAR, Cecília. Implementation of TEACHERS' participation in early childhood education: Teacher's perceptions. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.81-108. ISSN 0871-9187. https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.6560.
The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between observed quality in early childhood education and the promotion of participation, as well as to evaluate the psychometric properties of a measure designed to assess early childhood education teachers' perceptions about the degree of implementation of children's participation in early childhood education. 168 preschool teachers participated in this study, 40 of which were simultaneously observed, in their classrooms, with the Classroom Observation Scoring System - CLASS (Pianta, La Paro, & Hamre, 2008). We identified two components of teachers' perceptions of children's participation: Children's Expression and Responsibility and Decision Making by the Adult. Decision Making by the Adult was negatively associated with the domains of classroom quality measured through CLASS and with teacher's educational level. Teachers from public centers scored higher in Children's Expression and Responsibility than teachers from private for-profit centers. Findings provide moderate evidence on the reliability and validity of the Assessment Questionnaire of Early Childhood Education Teachers' Perceptions about Children's Participation Right.
