Abstract
This thesis examines the effectiveness of Total Physical Response (TPR) methodology in developing productive skills among preschoolers in inclusive educational environments. The research explores how TPR's kinesthetic approach supports diverse learning needs, particularly benefiting children with varying abilities, learning styles, and developmental patterns.
