Examining and Quantifying Variance in Quality Across Three Levels of Assessment in Early Childhood Education and Care Settings
Teaching Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills to Young Children in Early Childhood Education and Care (Ecec) Settings
Problem-solving has been identified as a critical 21st-century skill. This review integrated evidence on the effectiveness of existing approaches to teaching and assessing problem-solving in an interpersonal context (IPS) for children from birth to age six, in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. A comprehensive search (i.e., PsycINFO, ERIC, Education Source, Child Development and Adolescent Studies) yielded 13,030 abstracts, 38 el…

Youth Sexual Health and HIV/STI Prevention in Middle Eastern and North African Communities (YSMENA) is the first community-based research study in Canada to explore key determinants of sexual health among diaspora Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) women living in Canada. Our objectives were to identify the factors influencing sexual health for MENA youth and grow an evidence base to strengthen the sexual health response for MENA communities…
Instrument Development and Validation of the Home Child Care Version of the Assessment for Quality Improvement
Research Findings: Measures of home child care (HCC) quality are limited and tend to be labor intensive. This article presents the measure development process as well as psychometric, construct, convergent and discriminant validity analyses for the HCC version of the Assessment for Quality Improvement (HCC-AQI) measure. The HCC-AQI is part of a suite of observational measures developed by the City of Toronto for use in its early childhood educati…
Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Brazilian Portuguese Version of an Observational Measure for Parent–Child Responsive Caregiving
Responsive caregiving is the dimension of parenting most consistently related to later child functioning in both developing and developed countries. There is a growing need for efficient, psychometrically sound and culturally appropriate measurement of this construct. This study describes the cross-cultural validation in Brazil of the Responsive Interactions for Learning (RIFL-P) measure, requiring only eight minutes for assessment and coding. Th…
Heterogeneity in maternal and child mental health responses to the Covid-19 pandemic
Early childhood specialization among Ecec educators and preschool children’s outcomes
Is educators’ years of experience in early childhood education and care settings associated with child outcomes? A systematic review and meta-analysis
A meta-analysis and systematic review of the associations between professional development of early childhood educators and children's outcomes
The relationship between the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale and its revised form and child outcomes
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of a Measure of Staff/Child Interaction Quality (the Classroom Assessment Scoring System) in Early Childhood Education and Care Settings and Child Outcomes
The Effect of Missing Data Treatment on Mantel-Haenszel DIF Detection
Most implementations of the Mantel-Haenszel differential item functioning procedure delete records with missing responses or replace missing responses with scores of 0. These treatments of missing data make strong assumptions about the causes of the missing data. Such assumptions may be particularly problematic when groups differ in their patterns of nonresponse. Using both real data from Ontario students taking the English- and French-language v…
