Using Crowley to Find the Right Questions Issue1


Studies suggest that 40 percent of schools nationwide have cut recess or playtime reduction. Playtime is very important time for kids develop gross and fine motor skills, stay healthy and socialize with other students. As I read through the text, I got the questions Crowley provided and inserted my issues. After that, other questions started to surface. Those are some of the questions I thought to be important.

Does reduced playtime occur? (conjecture)

Why kids need recess and exercise?

What is playtime?

What is reduced playtime, exactly? (definition)

What is the minimum amount of playtime a child should have per day while in school?

What is the ideal amount a child should get per day?

Is reduced playtime a bad thing? (quality)

Should reduced playtime be regulated? (procedure)

What do children lose when they don’t get enough playtime?

What are some of the physical e psychological effects if reduced playtime?

How writing and math are impacted with reduced playtime?

Where playtime reduction is a major concern?

When and why did playtime reduction start?

Is there any existing policy to enforce playtime?

How teachers can help?


I think it was useful by guiding me to ask the right questions and find out more about my issue.  Also, I am not sure if there are any studies about the amount of play a child should have per day, I guess is not many people are worried about it.
