dc.description.abstractThe research sought to find out through observation of children plays that were of relevance to technological concepts. In other to carryout the research questions, hypotheses were formulated in measurable terms to aid the research achieve the goals of the study. Two schools were used for the pilot study and the result helped to establish the validity and reliability of the instrument. Three schools were finally used in carrying out the real project from where data were gathered. The statistics used for the analysis of collected data were percentages, for reliability of scores. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test for relationship of item codes while a two way T-test was engaged in testing for differences of play pattern between the genders and potential for technological readiness. Knowing fully well that not all plays are creative (e.g. unoccupied and on locker behaviours) the researcher was able to identify such plays as solitary, parallel, association and co-operative plays that have in one way or the other an influence/impact on technological readiness The research was able to identify valuable and observable behavioural patterns, which children exhibit in creative plays, which relates to potential development of technological skills. Such behaviours were observed to have bearings for preparing children’s readiness for technological skills. It was also discovered that a child’s play pattern relates to his potential readiness for technological skill. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the play pattern of male and female children which seem to develop a differential at the level of readiness for technological skills. It was also established that there is a relatedness between both Dynamic factors, performance factors and technological readiness. Recommendations were made based upon the study findings. A request for further study at similar level of education, higher levels of primary and secondary institutions were made. November 2000 Sunday A. David-Bonibaiyede.en_US
