| Abstract | The learning that parents accomplish through informal involvement in running preschool learning groups was examined through a survey of adults who were actively involved in a Pre-School Learning Alliance program in 1 of 10 locations throughout England. Of the 632 adults contacted, 311 (nearly 50%) completed questionnaires. Approximately 60 respondents across the different locations agreed to be interviewed by telephone. All but two respondents were women, just over 94% were of white European origin, and 66.5% were between 30 and 39 years old. Nearly half left school at age 16, 5.7% left school at age 15 or under, 36% left at age 18, and 3.8% left later. The majority of respondents believed that they were deriving important benefits from their connection with a preschool. Social contacts, interest in child development, and improved child-oriented skills were unanimously considered the main benefits derived from involvement with a preschool, with increased self-confidence and a range of personal skills being ranked lower in importance but still considered very significant. Several respondents said that, as a direct result of their involvement with a preschool, they wished or intended to work with children. (The questionnaire and telephone interview schedule are appended.) (MN) |
