This review was estimated on the steps pointed in the PRISMA criteria, as well as new research that merged different research designs. The publications for this study were adopted using two prestige databases: Scopus and Web of Science. This review's four major themes were derived from a thematic analysis, which includes (1) research area, (2) language, and (3) timeline. Thus, the result of this study made several significant additions to the corpus of knowledge for practical reasons. The following findings display the significance of learning through the play method in early childhood: 1) Learning outcomes, 2) Pedagogical, 3) Professional development and 4) Parents' beliefs. The learning outcomes of learning through the play method seem to be a key research topic, while parents' belief is the lacking research topic among scholars.

Although teachers have been trained to implement various pedagogical strategies, teachers’ spontaneous actions in classrooms may affect pupils’ behaviour. Indeed, teachers may face difficulties in making decisions regarding pupils’ behaviour in the classroom.

We observed pupils’ behaviour in response to strategies used by teachers for carrying out teaching and learning in the first ten minutes of the lessons. All 12 lessons were video-recorded, then analysed by three coders by looking at the frequency of the following targeted behaviours (using a checklist): teachers’ action: encouragement, praise, and guidance; pupil...
