Description
PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH The purpose of the research is to investigate the role of educators in promoting physical activity for children, and the ways educators engage and interact with children during physical activity experiences.
Previous research has evaluated the quality and quantity of physical activity in young children in preschools, yet no research has been published that discusses the specific role of the early years educator during interactions involving physical activity, and therefore this is a significant area for research.
