Spiteri, Jane; Pace, Paul – Journal of Education for Sustainable Development, 2023
Climate change is a major environmental challenge society is facing. While young children will experience the impacts of climate change for longer, research into their perceptions of climate change is scant. To address this gap, this qualitative case study presents the perceptions of climate change of 10 young Maltese children (4-7 years). Data…

The theorisation of digital technologies for play-based settings has received a great deal of attention. However, less is known about how zoom modalities, which are increasingly becoming commonplace at work and in the home, have impacted on the play of children in Family Day Care. Whilst theoretical attention has been given to conceptualising…

Cheng, Liao; Harris, Paul L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
This study investigated cross-cultural similarities and variations in children's developing understanding of mixed emotions. Four- to 9-year-old US (n = 56) and Chinese (n = 98) children listened to stories in which the protagonist encountered a situation combining positive and negative components. Children were asked whether the story protagonist…

Edward Melhuish; Julian Gardiner – Sutton Trust, 2023
Several decades of research has found that early education and care can have a positive effect on children's cognitive, behavioural and social outcomes, particularly if it is of high quality, and particularly for disadvantaged children. However, less is known about the optimum number of hours, including whether this differs by socio-economic…

Tony Eaude – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2023
This article explores tentatively how young children develop a sense of beauty and should be guided in doing so. Beauty is partly a matter of personal preference, but it implies a more profound and considered idea than what is pleasing or attractive. Beauty contributes to well-being and a flourishing life. Since ideas of beauty vary over time and…

Ying Zhang; Oi-Lam Ng; Suzannie Leung – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has been regarded as an essential skill set that students should acquire from their early years of life. As a thinking practice applicable to problem-solving processes, it has been argued that CT can be demonstrated and incorporated into other disciplines. While most studies have focused on CT integration with science,…

Fast, Anne A.; Morelli, Sylvia A.; Zaki, Jamil; Olson, Kristina R. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
From an early age, children act generously towards one another, but the situational features that promote generous decision-making remain under investigation. The current study tests the impact of being identifiable--as a recipient of generosity, a giver, or both--on children's generosity. Six-year-old children (N = 129) allocated resources to a…

Ryder, Nuala; Kvavilashvili, Lia; Ford, Ruth – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Prospective memory (PM) involves remembering to carry out intended actions in the future (e.g., posting a letter on the way to school or passing on a message) and is important for children's independent functioning in daily life. This study examined, for the first time, the effects of incidental reminder cues on children's PM. Five- and 7-year-old…

Background: Children with poor motor skills are at increased risk of peer victimization. However, it is unclear whether poor gross and fine motor skills are differently linked to peer victimization among pre-school and schoolchildren. Aims: To investigate associations between poor gross and fine motor skills measured in pre-school and the…

Vaish, Amrisha; Savell, Shannon – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Gratitude is a positive social emotion that one experiences when one has benefited from another person's goodwill (McCullough, 2002). Feeling gratitude urges the grateful person to reciprocate and respond prosocially, thereby solidifying cooperation. Yet little prior research has focused on the social functions of displaying gratitude, namely to…
