Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms: 'teacher-directed' programs are structured with the teacher leading activities; 'unstructured' programs have little to no planned activities; 'child-centered' programs focus on the interests and needs of the child, allowing them to guide their own learning.
Recall that developmental psychology emphasizes supporting children's natural development and promoting autonomy, social skills, and cognitive growth through active engagement.
Consider research findings and expert consensus in developmental psychology, which generally support preschool programs that adapt to children's developmental stages and encourage exploration.
Recognize that 'child-centered' programs align with these principles by providing a balance of guidance and freedom, fostering development in a supportive environment.
Conclude that most developmentalists advocate for 'child-centered' preschool programs because they best support holistic development according to developmental psychology theories.
