Mixed Age, Educational Background Children In Different Age Interaction

The purpose of this paper focused on the educational practice of multiage grouping in kindergarten and cross-age interactions in a multiage setting. It will present a perspective on not only how multiage classroom impact children but also how they do.Multiage grouping can be defined as the placement of children who are at least one year apart in age into the same classroom groups. Thus children of varying ages and abilities interact within the learning environment.The qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to analyze data. Findings indicate that children may benefit from kindergarten classes in a multiage setting, and that multiage classroom is not easy to implement. They require a lot of prior planning and research. If we are trying to achieve a more collaborative society where people help each other learn, multiage classrooms may be a step in the right direction. Multiage education is not an impulsive innovation. Both children and teachers benefit from experiences in multiage classroom.
