A Comparative Study on Two Kindergarten Teachers' Phrase-Open Questions and Behaviour-Specific Praises

Abstract

The quality and ability of students are greatly influenced by the words and actions of teachers, particularly those in kindergarten, who have a positive effect on the development of their mental and physical well-being. Investigating the language used by kindergarten teachers is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of preschool teaching practices and improving the overall quality of early childhood education. They must meet higher requirements for both phrase-open questioning and behaviour praise. Understanding both elements in the context of kindergarten teachers is vital for fostering the establishment of kindergartens and the progress of preschool instruction in China. Based on the definition of concepts, this study selected 2 kindergarten teachers in M province for sampling, as well as investigated and compared the phrase-open questioning and behavioural praise of kindergarten teachers.
