Nakamichi, Naoko; Nakamichi, Keito; Nakazawa, Jun – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
We investigated whether the cool and hot executive functions (EFs) exhibited by kindergarteners could predict their academic achievement in the middle grades of elementary school. The study assessed the cool and hot EF of 48 Japanese kindergartners (M = 78.12 months) and then measured these same children's academic achievement in language and…

Fonteles Furtado, Pedro Gabriel; Hirashima, Tsukasa; Hayashi, Yusuke; Maeda, Kazushige – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2019
There has been a lack of research into conceptually teaching the structure of contextual problems to kindergarten students. This is despite the popularity of contextual problems and the difficulties that students have with them. This study focuses on creating a textless, image-based application that uses the Triplet Structure Model to teach about…

Kamii, Constance; Kato, Yasuhiko – Early Education and Development, 2005
A class of 14 kindergartners in Japan was videotaped while playing a card game in groups of three involving the placement of cards in numerical order. The children were followed up in first grade, and it was found that development in one area of logico-mathematical knowledge (for example, the making of temporal relationships) stimulates…
