Implementing the teaching personal and social responsibility model within preschool education: strengths, challenges and strategies
Artigo Científico
The teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) model has
been considered a valuable tool for children to reach their full
potential in life. However, little research has been conducted with
the TPSR model in preschool contexts. The purpose of the present
study was to understand the experiences of a program leader
while implementing a TPSR-based program within a preschool
setting. The participants were 24 children with 5 years of age
attending a school located in the north of Portugal, and the
program leader. Data sources included reflexive journaling, field
notes and participant observations. Findings suggest the TPSR
model could be adapted and implemented with preschool
children. However, there is a need to consider specific adaptations
to develop TPSR-based interventions and facilitate responsibility
outcomes. This study provided a novel understanding of how
TPSR may be implemented in a preschool context to foster social
and emotional learning and enhance school readiness.
