ABSTRACT
Utilizing the descriptive research design, this study described the role of nursery rhyme on the attitudes of preschoolers as observed by their parents. The researchers used the mean in profiling the respondents, bivariate analysis in finding the relationships and t-test in finding the difference of the variables. The findings revealed that the respondents are dominated by females, exposed to Chuchu TV and nursery rhyme between 1-2 hours a day and watching for 6 months and above. The preschoolers have acceptable attitudes in all developmental aspects before exposure to nursery rhyme and accelerated to more acceptable attitudes after their exposure. There was a significant difference between the attitudes of the preschoolers in their developmental aspects before and after exposure to nursery rhyme and an evident significant relationship between the profile of the preschoolers and their exposure to nursery rhyme. This study recommended that parents should monitor their children’s exposure to gadgets. Preschool teachers should incorporate nursery rhymes to preschoolers’ daily activities to motivate them. Future researchers should conduct wider scope of study similar to this to validate the results.
