If you are a parent, you want your child to be happy.
[Video]What is an “unexpected” way to increase a child’s lifetime annual income?
Here, we will introduce the latest research and expert analysis in early childhood education while touching on the notable words “early education,” “non-cognitive abilities,” and “children’s lifetime wages.”
First, let’s take a look at the Perry Kindergarten Program in which Nobel Prize-winning Professor James J. Heckman was involved.In Professor Heckman’s paper published in the academic journal “Science”
・Children who have received high-quality early childhood education have higher incomes and educational backgrounds in the future, and lead stable lives compared to those who did not.
・Quality early childhood education enhances “non-cognitive abilities”.Non-cognitive abilities are not abilities that can be measured by tests such as IQ, but conscientiousness, diligence, the ability to persevere, and self-control.
A surprising result was revealed.
What is quality early childhood education? Is it possible to measure the quality of early childhood education?
A research group led by Professor Makiko Nakamuro and Professor Keiko Fujisawa of Keio University and Assistant Professor Taiyo Fukai of the University of Tsukuba is conducting research to quantitatively evaluate the “quality of childcare” in multiple local governments. Here, we use the Early Childhood Environment Scale, 3rd edition, which is a quantitative evaluation by observers and is widely used in more than 30 countries. Looking at the results,
・The quality of childcare in the three local governments is common in that “nursing care,” “mutual relationships,” and “structure of childcare” are high.
・However, it is clear that the items of “activity” such as building blocks, modeling, music, and becoming familiar with numbers in life are low.
According to Professor Nakamuro, in order for this item of “activity” to be high, it is necessary to be able to choose play voluntarily, to have time to “play” the selected play, the quality of playground equipment and toys. It is important that there is a sufficient amount of children, but many nursery schools these days cannot achieve this.
Finally, a recent study examining early childhood education programs in Tennessee found that
・Children who attended nursery school had lower academic achievement following entering elementary school than children who did not attend nursery school
has been shown and has been controversial.
As a result.In response to this result, Professor Nakamuro
“There are still various discussions regarding this result, but I think that it does not produce the expected good effect if the early childhood is made to anticipate what is planned to be learned in elementary school. We know that the benefits of this early education last only for a very short early period and are soon overtaken by those who fail to do so.”
said.
Furthermore, Professor Nakamuro
“Activities such as modeling, building blocks, music, and playing with numbers can be done not only at nursery schools but also at home, so I would like children to try them out at home.”
