Digital and physical play contexts influence mother–child spatial language and maternal questions
app), and physical toys were designed to match the digital games. During digital play compared to physical play, mothers and children spoke fewer spatial words, used different spatial language types, and mothers asked fewer questions, including pedagogical questions that aim to promote learning. Further analyses examined the dimensionality of the activities and children's prior play experiences. In an increasingly digital world, it is important t…
How Early Educators Make Emergent Curricula Work
Research Findings: In recent decades, pre-kindergarten and early elementary instruction have shifted toward a more structured and academic approach, yet little evidence suggests children’s outcomes have improved as a result. Emergent curricula, an alternative model for education, put children’s interests and questions at the center of learning and use multi-week, collaborative projects to foster engagement and deeper learning. More rigorous resea…
The association between and development of school enjoyment and general knowledge
Learning environments can support the development of foundational knowledge and promote children's attitudes toward learning and school. This study explores the relation between school enjoyment and general knowledge from preschool (2016–2017) to kindergarten (2017–2018) in 1359 children (M age = 55, 61 months, female = 50%; 58.5% Hispanic, 17% Black, 10% Asian, 10% White, 5% multiracial/other; linguistically diverse). Cross-lagged panel models s…
Using self report surveys to measure PreK children’s academic orientations
Scientific Concepts
Building Blocks for Developing Spatial Skills
There is evidence suggesting that children’s play with spatial toys (e.g., puzzles and blocks) correlates with spatial development. Females play less with spatial toys than do males, which arguably accounts for males’ spatial advantages; children with high socioeconomic status (SES) also show an advantage, though SES-related differences in spatial play have been less studied than gender-related differences. Using a large, nationally representativ…
Children’s scientific curiosity
Science in the Preschool Classroom
Research Findings: This article focuses on preschool science, an important but underresearched school readiness domain. There is considerable activity surrounding quality science in early childhood classroom practices, including state standards, curricula with science activities, and an extensive literature on potential best practices. However, there is very little empirical research focused on the effectiveness of these practices. The present ar…
