这项研究探讨了幼儿教育（ECE）提供者如何使用的做法，以吸引家长（例如，发送关于孩子的家庭信息），家长学校参与幼儿教育中心（例如，志愿服务，参加会议）和家长参与家庭学习活动（例如，阅读，刺激认知发展）与儿童的幼儿园学业准备有关。数据来自于在幼儿纵向研究-出生队列（ECLS-B; N=2250）中入组以中心为基础的ECE设置的4岁儿童。路径分析表明，幼儿教育家长参与的做法与家长更多地参与家庭和学校环境有关。此外，通过增加家长参与家庭学习活动的数量，幼儿教育家长参与的做法与幼儿园的学术准备间接相关。对于低收入家庭，幼儿教育与家庭参与之间的联系最为紧密。这些结果表明，促进幼儿教育的做法，以促进家长的参与和增加家庭学习活动可能会提高儿童的入学准备。(C)2020爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
This study examined how practices used by early childhood education (ECE) providers to engage parents (e.g., sending home information about the child), parent school involvement in ECE centers (e.g., volunteering, attending meetings) and parent engagement in home learning activities (e.g., reading, stimulating cognitive development) were linked to children's kindergarten academic readiness. Data were from four-year-old children enrolled in center-based ECE settings in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study - Birth Cohort (ECLS-B; N=2250). Path analyses indicated that ECE parent engagement practices were linked to greater parent engagement in home and school settings. Further, ECE parent engagement practices were indirectly associated with kindergarten academic readiness through increases in the quantity of parent engagement in home learning activities. Connections between ECE and home engagement were strongest for families with low household incomes. These results suggest that facilitating ECE practices to promote parent engagement and increasing home learning activities may bolster children's school readiness. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
