ABSTRACT Early childhood teachers need knowledge and skills to support play and learning. However, the child care workforce often has limited or no preservice training on play, relying instead on in-service training. With policy shifts towards a standards-driven curriculum in the U.S., there is limited in-service play training available, creating a need for high quality in-service training on play. This study introduces a model of intensive professional development (PD) on play – a group workshop coupled with a group coaching model – implemented in the Mid-Atlantic area in the U.S. The play training focused on three areas: self-active play experience, the knowledge and skills needed to support children's learning through play. The group coaching component included feedback on self-recorded video practice and an opportunity for participants to share reflections on supporting play with each other and the coaches. We conducted an interview study with the participants about their perspectives on play and practice after the intensive PD. Qualitative data analysis revealed that: (1) all participants changed their perspectives on play after the play PD; (2) participants implemented strategies from the training and supported more play in practice; and (3) despite increased knowledge and skills, participants continued to experience challenges when implementing play strategies.

ABSTRACT Charmaz, K. (2014). Constructing grounded theory (2nd ed.). SAGE. (p. 344) suggests that ‘a reflexive stance informs how the researcher conducts his or her research, relates to the research participants and represents them in written reports’. As playworkers, we position ourselves outside of children’s play, as observers looking in, often, though not always, trying to make sense of what we observe. How we interpret children’s play, our interventions and those of our peers and colleagues, is influenced by our own lived experiences, our biographies and the history we bring to the play setting. This article explores the place of reflexivity in playwork and proposes that when researching children’s play from a playwork perspective a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach responds to some of the unique characteristics of playwork and the ambiguity of children’s play.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of child-centered play therapy (CCPT) on the symptoms of ODD in preschool children. In this quasi-experimental study, using a randomized pretest, posttest, follow-up (RPPF) design with a control group, 24 children in the age range of 5-7 years were selected based on the cut off point of CSI-4 and were randomly assigned into two equal groups of experimental and control (n = 12 each). The experimental group underwent CCPT intervention for 12 weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using the repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the symptoms of ODD (P < 0.05), so that CCPT intervention could reduce the symptoms of ODD in preschool children. Comparison of the scores of the evaluation stages showed that the symptoms were continuously decreasing in the experimental group in the 6-month follow-up. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that CCPT is an effective method to reduce the symptoms of ODD in preschool children. Therefore, it is recommended that this method be used for preschool children with ODD in educational institutions and psychological clinics.

J. Gardner
Her dad’s unusual ability to keep playing like a child, as well as his choice to resist adults’ rules, made him a memorable playmate. AsWalls andher siblings grewolder, her parents’ refusal to accept rules andboundariesmade daily life very difficult. After strenuous effort, the children broken away from their parents and started lives of their own within more conventional boundaries. One spring day in New York City, while on her way to a party in a taxi,Walls saw her mother pulling trash out of a dumpster. Feeling embarrassed and sad, she asked the taxi driver to take her home to Park Avenue. Later, when she told her mother how uncomfortable she felt, her mother said, ‘Your father and I are who we are. Accept it’ (5). She also said that her daughter should tell the truth. Walls takes her mother’s advice and tells the truth about her family’s challenges and joys. She thanks her mother for believing in art and truth and her father for dreaming big dreams. Although she does not thank her parents for letting her play as freely as she wanted to, it is clear that this freedom was crucial. After playing with fire, creating ‘nuclear fuel,’ and fighting lettuce wars, she felt strong enough to handle whatever else might come up. Like Brian Sutton-Smith, she remembered her wild childhood play and made it part of her work. Her father, both a play companion and a giver of stars, gave her a kind of inspiration that is good to keep in mind as our new year moves forward.
