| Summary: | The study explores and analyses some of the challenges inherent to incorporating play into classroom practice, which occurs in two types
of preschool classroom settings in Malaysia. It investigates the implementation of play in each of these settings. This study builds an
understanding of the processes involved. It demonstrates a theory of learning that supports analysis of participation in social activity
where participants work towards social goals within a view of learning being based on a cultural and collective foundation. The discussion
is designed to convince the reader the value of the underpinning theory for this study and to explain the interpretive lens on learning
through play that emerges. The approach recognizes that this interpretive lens offers a particular way of guiding the data collection and
interpreting the data. In developing a conceptual framework for this study, it provides not only a way to interpret what is learning through
play, but also to report the research findings within a sociocultural frame. |
