Alisha M. Hardman; Donna J. Peterson; Mariah S. Morgan; H. Elizabeth Solace – Journal of Extension, 2024
Evaluation data is needed to demonstrate the impact of 4-H science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programming on children and youth. However, collecting evaluation data from cloverbuds (ages 5-7) is particularly challenging given their developmental age. We adapted an observational Cloverbud evaluation tool to measure basic life…

Xiao Pan Ding; Joey Kei Teng Cheng; Qiqi Cheng; Gail D. Heyman – Applied Developmental Science, 2024
Stories are widely used around the world to try to teach children moral lessons. However, it is often difficult for children to figure out how lessons from stories can be applied to real-life settings. In the present research, we tested whether encouraging children to be like the protagonists helps explain the success of positive moral stories…

In this study, I examined preschool storybook apps for the affordances they may provide for young children's vocabulary development. Specifically, I sought to understand (a) the degree to which storybook apps introduce new words, (b) the types of words children can learn, and (c) the degree to which digital enhancements align with new words in the…

Shalev, Nir; Boettcher, Sage; Wilkinson, Hannah; Scerif, Gaia; Nobre, Anna C. – Child Development, 2022
Children's ability to benefit from spatiotemporal regularities to detect goal-relevant targets was tested in a dynamic, extended context. Young adults and children (from a low-deprivation area school in the United Kingdom; N = 80; 5-6 years; 39 female; ethics approval did not permit individual-level race/ethnicity surveying) completed a dynamic…

Jiahong Su – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Although artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more commonly integrated into our everyday lives, homes, and schools, there needs to be more research regarding parental attitudes toward using AI technologies and AI literacy education to understand better and advance AI and AI literacy in kindergarten. To address this gap, this study explored…

Charla R. S. Saamong; Patricia K. E. Deogracias; Sue O. Saltmarsh; Derwin K. C. Chan; Catherine M. Capio – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
Recent studies report high levels of physical inactivity among most of the global population, including young children. As young children spend a large fraction of their time in school, early childhood teachers have important roles in promoting adequate physical activity (PA) among children. This scoping review aims to synthesise existing evidence…

Becker, Ian; Rigaud, Vanessa M.; Epstein, Ann – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2023
Assessments provide teachers with essential information regarding children's learning. Alternative education systems offer insight into ways that assessments can be redesigned to be developmentally appropriate to particular ages, including unique stances on what defines assessment, who should assess, and what should be assessed. We examined themes…

Zhao, Li; Li, Yingying; Sun, Wenjin; Zheng, Yi; Harris, Paul L. – Developmental Science, 2023
There is extensive research on the development of cheating in early childhood but research on how to reduce it is rare. The present preregistered study examined whether telling young children about a story character's emotional reactions towards cheating could significantly reduce their tendency to cheat (N = 400; 199 boys; Age: 3-6 years).…

O'Brien, Maria G. – American Educator, 2023
Give a child a book and watch them blossom in more ways than you could possibly imagine! Nothing can replace the feel of a book and the turning of pages in anticipation of a story unfolding picture by picture, chapter by chapter. Books open doors to learning and to the world around us. Where do we go to find these awesome books? The library, of…

Jalongo, Mary Renck; Permenter, Faithe A.; Conrad, Kristina – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2023
A facility dog in a school is a comparatively recent category of working dog. These dogs typically are trained at the assistance, or service dog, level and are thoroughly prepared for their role. The school facility dog accompanies an owner/handler, who is a professional employee of the school, to work on a regular basis. Research on human-canine…

Cheng, Chen; Kibbe, Melissa M. – Cognitive Science, 2023
Young children with limited knowledge of formal mathematics can intuitively perform basic arithmetic-like operations over nonsymbolic, approximate representations of quantity. However, the algorithmic rules that guide such nonsymbolic operations are not entirely clear. We asked whether nonsymbolic arithmetic operations have a function-like…
