GREGO, Teresa. Kindergarten teacher's patterns of behaviour: Exploratory study for understanding the interaction in contexts of kindergarten classes. Psicologia [online]. 2003, vol.17, n.1, pp.137-160. ISSN 0874-2049.  https://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v17i1.442.

The present work interferes in the extent of the dissertation of master's degree in psychology, area of early intervention, and it intends to contribute for the understanding of the interactions that happen in contexts of kindergarten classes. Concretely we try to know a little more on the way as preschool teachers link with the children, and tried to define patterns of the preschool teachers' behaviour in his relationship with the children. It is made reference to the empiric study, accomplished near 12 preschool teachers and in witch qualitative methods were privileged (observation and interview). It was fallen back upon methods of qualitative research with the program NUD*IST 4.0 - non-numerical unstructured date indexing searching theorizing, version 4.0 (copyright Qualitative Solutions & Research, 1991-1997). The obtained results suggests that there are regularities in the preschool teachers' behaviour and some patterns of behaviour in relations to the interaction with the children can be privileged.
