The 18 preschool teachers in the study tended to agree that preschool education for 4-year-olds should foremost be fun and engaging, not stressful. Teachers should develop curricula based on children’s interests and everyday lives, and allow children to choose their activities and to direct their own play and exploration at their own pace. The goal of preschool education should be to promote children’s social, emotional, and physical well-being, and not focus so much on academic learning.

This paper reports on observational approaches developed within a UK study to the identification and assessment of metacognition
and self-regulation in young children in the 3–5 year age range. It is argued that the development of observational tools,
although containing methodological difficulties, allows us to make more valid assessments of children’s metacognitive and
self-regulatory abilities in this age group. The analysis of 582 metacognitive or self-regulatory videotaped ‘events’ is described,
including the development of a coding framework identifying verbal and non-verbal indicators. The construction of an observational
instrument, the Children’s Independent Learning Development (CHILD 3–5) checklist, is also reported together with evidence
of the reliability with which it can be used by classroom teachers and early indications of its external validity as a measure
of metacognition and self-regulation in young children. Given the educational significance of children’s development of metacognitive
and self-regulatory skills, it is argued that the development of such an instrument is potentially highly beneficial. The
establishment of the metacognitive and self-regulatory capabilities of young children by means of the kinds of observational
tools developed within this study also has clear and significant implications for models and theories of metacognition and
self-regulation. The paper concludes with a discussion of these implications.

The aim of this study was, firstly, to explore the development of primary school children’s metacognitive knowledge from preschool
to the 2nd grade and the development of their text comprehension skill from the 1st grade to the 3rd grade. Secondly, the
developmental dynamics between metacognitive knowledge (MCK) and text comprehension skill (CS) across the first three school
years were investigated. The longitudinal sample included 181 children who were tested three times from preschool spring to
the spring term of the 3rd grade using an identical set of measurements: the Metacognitive Knowledge Test and Listening and
Reading Comprehension Tests. In studying developmental change using Latent Growth Curve modelling (LGC), no uni-construct effect for the development of MCK or for text CS was found. However, a slight multi-construct cumulative
development between the children’s MCK and reading CS was identified. Thus, it could be cautiously interpreted that the more
the children’s MCK developed from preschool to the end of the 2nd grade, the better reading CS they showed during the first
three school years.

Young children construct understandings of gender during the preschool years. They accurately apply common gender stereotypes
to toys by the time they are three and readily predict their parents’ opinions about gender-typical and cross-gender play.
This study involved 3- and 5-year-old children in identifying “girl toys” and “boy toys”. It also asked them to predict their
parents’ reactions to their choices of gender-specific toys. These children’s parents were surveyed in an effort to describe
their preferences about gender-specific toys and behaviors. Responses indicated that, in spite of evidence that many of these
parents reject common gender stereotypes, their children predicted parents would consistently apply these stereotypes as reflected
by their approval or disapproval of children’s choices to play with gender stereotyped or cross-gender toys. The mis-match
between parents’ self-described beliefs and children’s perceptions of the messages they have received about genderized play
are discussed.

This study examined (1) the potential influence of oral language characteristics of two languages that bilingual children
acquire on their PA and (2) the relationship of PA in L1 with PA and literacy skills in L2, using data from Korean–English
bilingual children. Thirty three Korean–English bilingual children, composed of two subsamples from two different locations/bilingual
programs, participated in the study. The findings showed that the sample of bilingual children from two bilingual programs
differed in their mean performances on intrasyllabic phonological awareness in Korean (i.e., rime awareness and body awareness).
Furthermore, children’s Korean rime awareness, but not body awareness, was positively related to their phonological awareness
and literacy skills in English. Finally, these children’s phonological awareness in Korean made a positive contribution to
English decoding skills even after controlling for their English sight word reading skills. The results are discussed in light
of interlingual influence on bilingual children’s phonological awareness.

Written from the vantage point of both a mother and teacher educator, the author recounts the journey taken by Sarah, her
4-year old daughter, as she is introduced to and explores map making as a means of representing and making sense of familiar
and unfamiliar places. Offering Sarah’s experience as context, the author offers both a practical and theoretical discussion
of children’s emerging geographic literacy, its relationship to identity development and the importance of understanding children’s
experience and socio-emotional development to inform pedagogy.

This article explores the question of how children’s literature reflects national identity in a diverse society. Drawing parallels with Ellison’s Invisible Man, it speculates on how literary omissions and misrepresentations of diverse groups may influence the minds of young readers in their attitudes toward themselves, their nation, and others. In a sampling of the current children’s picture book literature of Malaysia in English, it relates current thinking in multiculturalist and post-colonial theory to the forms of multiculturalism found in these works. It examines this literature’s representations of history, diversity, class, gender, and values to determine who is represented, how they are portrayed, who is excluded, and what values are promoted, exploring what image of national identity this literature projects.

This multi-phase study examined the influence of retrieval processes on children??s metacognitive processes in relation to and in interaction with achievement level and age. First, N?=?150 9/10- and 11/12-year old high and low achievers watched an educational film and predicted their test performance. Children then solved a cloze test regarding the film content including answerable and unanswerable items and gave confidence judgments to every answer. Finally, children withdrew answers that they believed to be incorrect. All children showed adequate metacognitive processes before and during test taking with 11/12- year-olds outperforming 9/10-year-olds when considering characteristics of on-going retrieval processes. As to the influence of achievement level, high compared to low achievers proved to be more accurate in their metacognitive monitoring and controlling. Results suggest that both cognitive resources (operationalized through achievement level) and mnemonic experience (assessed through age) fuel metacognitive development. Nevertheless, when facing higher demands regarding retrieval processes, experience seems to play the more important role. 相似文献

Studies that examine the effects of exercise on children’s intelligence, cognition, or academic achievement were reviewed
and results were discussed in light of (a) contemporary cognitive theory development directed toward exercise, (b) recent
research demonstrating the salutary effects of exercise on adults’ cognitive functioning, and (c) studies conducted with animals
that have linked physical activity to changes in neurological development and behavior. Similar to adults, exercise facilitates
children’s executive function (i.e., processes required to select, organize, and properly initiate goal-directed actions).
Exercise may prove to be a simple, yet important, method of enhancing those aspects of children’s mental functioning central
to cognitive development.

Many of our cognitive and metacognitive judgments are based on sheer subjective experience. Subjective experience, however,
may be contaminated by irrelevant factors, resulting in biased judgments. Under certain conditions people exert a metacognitive
correction process to remedy such biased judgments. In this study we examine the proposition that even after a judgment has
been corrected to avoid the biasing effects on subjective experience, subjective experience itself remains biased. We asked
participants to judge the difficulty of anagrams for others. When they were aware of having been exposed to the solutions
of some of the anagrams, they corrected their difficulty judgments for these anagrams. Despite this correction, their speeded
choices in a subsequent task disclosed their biased subjective experience that these anagrams were easier to solve. Implications
for the study of metacognition and for the educational domain are discussed.

Previous studies with English-speaking families in the North American context demonstrated that home literacy practices have
positive influences on children’s literacy acquisition. The present study expands previous studies by examining how home literacy
practices are related to growth trajectories of emergent literacy skills (i.e., vocabulary, letter-name knowledge, and phonological awareness) and conventional literacy
skills (i.e., word reading, pseudoword reading, and spelling), and by using data from Korean children and families (N = 192). The study revealed two dimensions of home literacy practices, home reading and parent teaching. Frequent reading
at home was positively associated with children’s emergent literacy skills as well as conventional literacy skills in Korean.
However, children whose parents reported more frequent teaching tended to have low scores in their phonological awareness,
vocabulary, word reading and pseudoword reading after accounting for home reading. These results suggest a bidirectional relationship
between home literacy practices, parent teaching in particular, and children’s literacy skills such that parents adjust their
teaching in response to their child’s literacy acquisition. Furthermore, cultural variation in views on parent teaching may
explain these results.

Sharon Creech’s Walk Two Moons is a defining example of contemporary realistic fiction for children. This article argues that
Walk Two Moons models storytelling as a tool which children need to understand their own relationship to reality and to literature.
Rather than employing a grim verisimilitude, as some critics have charged, Creech has created a novel of realistic character
development which also challenges any simplistic understanding of children’s realistic fiction through its complex and self-referential
narrative structure and use of literary language. The result is a narrative which, in the face of painful and tragic circumstances,
empowers readers toward a hopeful and optimistic view of life’s mysteries.

Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins tells the archetypal story of the young, virgin, orphan girl who is vulnerable to either debauchery or rescue. That such
a girl must succumb to either one or the other is a necessary element of the archetype. In O’Dell’s work—one intended, after
all, for children—the heroine is rescued by a paternalistic figure and re-inscribed into the patriarchal world. Yet, in the
hands of young readers, Island—part fairytale, part rescue narrative, part feminist parable—becomes a story of independence and survival, despite the heroine’s
“rescue” at the end.

Some educators experience difficulty documenting young children’s work in early childhood settings because of a limited understanding of the importance of documentation, what or how to document, and the effective use of documentation; limited resources (time, tools, and assistance); or predetermined curricular guidelines. Some teachers, especially inexperienced early years teachers, have trouble engaging with children and documenting simultaneously, revealing a crucial misunderstanding about the purpose of documenting. Teachers at Reggio Emilia-inspired schools throughout the United States use many forms of documentation to enhance the qualities of children’s experiences in preschool classrooms. This article addresses the dilemmas teachers face in implementing documentation in order to assist them as they move from standards-based teaching and teacher-determined content to a more constructivist approach to teaching. Ideas for using documentation shared by the authors will allow young children to construct their own knowledge and curiosity, making learning more meaningful to them and more visible to others.

The first author, a student in a graduate children’s literature class, designed a project to locate “good” mathematics-based
children’s literature selections. However, the reference tools usually consulted (e.g., Books in Print) to locate books by topic were of little help, and those she located under individual mathematics topics were mostly traditional
mathematics books rather than good read-aloud selections. Consequently, she perused the university library’s sizeable juvenile
collection to find books that would meet her selection criteria. This article describes the influence of two landmark documents
for mathematics teaching and learning—Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 1989) and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000)—as she engaged in the process.

This qualitative study examines the collaboration and leadership practice that influences the education of homeless students
in a large Mid-Atlantic city. The perspectives of administrators and staff members from three homeless shelters are analyzed
with insights from Spillane’s (Distributed leadership, 2006) distributed leadership theory. Findings from the study indicate
that differences in shelter and school structures and cultures present significant obstacles to productive communication that
would facilitate homeless children’s schooling. Several structural and programmatic recommendations are made towards developing
more effective leadership practice among schools and shelters.

In this study natural-in-action metacognitive activity during the student laboratory in university physics is explored, with
an aim towards quantifying the amount of metacognition used by the students. The study investigates whether quantifying natural-in-action
metacognition is possible and valuable for examining teaching and learning in these contexts. Video recordings of student
groups working during three types of introductory physics laboratories were transcribed and then coded using a coding scheme
developed from related research on mathematical problem solving. This scheme identifies a group’s general behaviour and metacognitive
activity. The study recognizes that reliably identifying metacognition is challenging, and steps are taken to improve reliability.
Results suggest that a greater amount of metacognition does not appear to improve students’ success in the laboratory—what
appears to matter is whether the metacognition causes students to change behaviour. This study indicates that it is important
to consider the outcome of metacognition, not just the amount.

This paper sees Neil Gaiman’s Coraline as following a darker tradition in children’s literature, most commonly found in the fairy tale. It explores some of the
existential issues that concern us all: to do with identity, sex, death, ontology, evil, desire and violence. The article
takes a largely psychoanalytical approach, showing how Freud’s concept of the Uncanny is particularly helpful in explaining
both the text’s appeal, and its creepy uneasiness. Namely, our fears about existence and identity as separate beings: our
worry that we will either not be noticed (being invisible and isolated), or we will be completely consumed by the attention
of another. Lacan’s concepts of the Symbolic and the Real provide the theoretical underpinning for this reading, together
with Kristeva’s notion of the abject.

The current study investigated kindergarteners and second graders’ ability to monitor and evaluate their own and a virtual peer’s performance in a paired-associate learning task. Participants provided confidence judgments (CJs) for their own responses and performance-based judgments (judgments provided after receiving feedback on their performance) for both their own and a virtual peer’s responses. For the performance-based judgments, children were confronted with their own or the peer’s answer as well as the correct answer. Additionally, participants were asked to credit their own and the peer’s correct and incorrect answers while facing feedback. Results indicate an age-related progression in metacognitive monitoring skills, with second graders differentiating more strongly in their confidence judgments between correct and incorrect responses compared to kindergarteners. Regarding performance-based judgments, children of both age groups provided higher judgments for correctly compared to incorrectly recognized items as well as for their own responses in comparison to the responses of the unknown child. Similarly, when crediting, participants of both age groups gave more credits for correct recognition than for incorrect recognition and for their own responses than for the peer’s responses. The significant interaction between age group and recognition accuracy for the crediting shows that second graders gave more credits for correctly recognized items while kindergarteners gave more credits for incorrect answers than the older children – primarily for their own incorrect answers. In conclusion, the study provides new insights into 6- and 8-year-olds’ evaluations of their own and an unknown child’s performance in a paired-associate learning task by showing that children of both age groups generally judged and credited responses in their own favor. These results add to our understanding of biases in children’s performance evaluations, including metacognitive judgments and judgments provided after receiving feedback. 相似文献
