This source written by Derya Kayıran and Birsen Bağçeci was researched at Kahramanmaras

Sutcu Imam University, School of Vocational Services, Department of Child Care Programme,

in Kahramanmaras, Turkey. The source was published in August of 2018 so it is still relevant.

The purpose of this research was to find out what values were most important to include in

preschools. Five values were ranked by The teachers from a scale of not important, slightly

important, moderately important, important and very important. The values were social

responsibility, generosity, collaboration, forehandedness and courage. This source is credible

because it is from ​The Journal of Education and Training Studies​. The article is cited and shows

the studies throughout the text. This source is relevant for my research paper because it shows

the perspective of a teachers view of values being incorporated into pre-school. If a child does

not attend preschool would these values be taught? This source will help make my argument

deeper.

children. This source is credible because Chris Boggiano holds degrees from West Point and

preschool start life out strong even if they come from low-income areas.

question about social interaction linked with attending preschool. This source is credible it is

research paper to amplify my statement that preschool affects the way children interact socially.

Sonneman, Tiffany. Personal Interview. 29 January 2019.

This source is probably my most important for my research paper. Tiffany Sonneman was a

second grade teacher. I had a personal interview with her and asked her questions about the

differences in children who attending preschool verses children who did not. This interview will

help my research paper because she has had experience with many types of children and could

definitely see a difference in test scores and social interactions.
