The study dwelt on the different understanding and</p><p>attitude of stakeholders on the relevance of play-based approach, the relationship between</p><p>educational qualifications and its relevance to the implementation of play-based approach</p><p>in preschools. Other issues investigated were the suitability and possibility of play-based</p><p>approach in developing the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills and the language</p><p>needs of children attending the preschools system in Nigeria. The research used the</p><p>qualitative approach, whereby data collection were made through written text, interview</p><p>and observation. Thus, collected data were analysed through hermeneutics procedure.</p><p>The participants of this study included twenty classroom teachers and twenty parents</p><p>from ten different schools, five preschools owners and also two officials from the</p><p>Ministry of Education. The findings revealed that the majority of the participants in this</p><p>study showed positive understanding and attitude towards the use of play-based approach</p><p>and that the availability of qualified educators in childhood education was a key factor for</p><p>effective use of play-based approach in preschools. The play-based approach is also</p><p>found to be suitable in developing various domains of learning among pre-schoolers. In</p><p>order to enable preschools to provide a good foundation for all other stages of learning,</p><p>the stakeholders suggested that schools' owners should organise periodic training for</p><p>teachers, provide conducive learning environment and materials, and stress on the</p><p>importance of effective use of play-based approach in the preschool system. Awareness</p><p>programmes should be organised for parents to show more interest in their children's</p><p>learning. The government should therefore strengthen their intervention and required</p><p>supports needed in order to reposition the present state of preschools system in Nigeria.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p> 2016 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=5300 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=5300 text eng N/A openAccess Doctoral Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Pembangunan Manusia N/A
