Abstract

In this study, the complex association between developmentally appropriate activities and teacher-child interaction quality is explored among 122 teachers from 59 rural preschools in northern China. Specifically, the researchers examined the association between three dimensions of Provisions for Learning (i.e., Space and Furnishing (SF), Curriculum Planning and Implementation (CPI), and Activities) and three domains of teacher-child interaction quality (Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support). The results confirmed activities fully mediated the influence from SF to Emotional Support and Instructional Support. Also, Activities fully mediated the association between CPI and Emotional and Instructional Support. Moreover, SF and CPI moderated the association between Activities and Instructional Support. Implications are discussed, particularly in light of the rural preschool context.
