The existing literature has established the effects of emotional labor on teachers’ wellbeing indicators and teaching efficacy, leaving its impact students’ outcomes unexplored. Following Grandey’s integrative model social-emotional learning (SEL) framework, this study explored relationship between labor, young children’s development in early childhood settings. Thirteen preschools were recruited through stratified random sampling Shenzhen, China. Altogether, 49 classrooms involved, three...

ABSTRACT Purpose This study investigated the sex and task effects in mental rotation (MR) among Chinese primary school students, employing behavioral assessments functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for a comprehensive analysis. Method The sample consisted of 62 Grade 4 5 students aged between 9.58 11.33 ( M age = 10.604, SD 0.35). Participants completed two MR tasks: MR1, which required 24 figures, MR2, involved 16 English letters. fNIRS was employed to measure neural activation...

This study aims to examine the impact of heavy use tablets on preschoolers’ executive function during Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) task using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Altogether, 38 Chinese preschoolers (Mage = 5.0 years, SD 0.69 17 girls) completed tasks before COVID-19 lockdown. Eight children never used tablets, while 16 were diagnosed as ‘heavy-user’. The results indicated that: (1) ‘non-user’ outperformed ‘heavy-user’ with a significantly higher correct rate...

Research Findings: Since 2011, China has started to loosen its tight on the One-child Policy (OCP), which impacted parent's child-rearing beliefs and provision of home learning environment that constitutes family environment. Utilizing parent-reported data 4,364 zero- eight-year-olds from Family Panel Study (CFPS, wave 2014) nationwide survey, we examined relations among structure, environment, child social competence. Analysis indicated there were significant differences between only-...

This study explored the family language policy, parental beliefs, and bilingual parenting in Beijing, a typical monolingual society. Stratified random sampling was conducted to recruit 192 parents of Chinese preschoolers (ages 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 years). They were surveyed with Home Language Environment Practices (HLEP) developed for this study. The statistical results indicated that: (1) majority Beijing families (90.1%) did not have home environment or related only 8.9% so; (2) three latent...

Abstract Design-based STEM learning is believed to be an effective cross-disciplinary strategy for promoting children’s cognitive development. Yet, its impact on executive functions, particularly disadvantaged children, still need explored. This study investigated the effects of short-term intensive design-based function among left-behind children. Sixty-one Grade 4 students from a school dedicated children in China were sampled and randomly assigned experimental group (10.70 ± 0.47 years...

This study investigated the development of temporal adverbs in early childhood Mandarin. All cases indicating past, present, and future were extracted from Early Child Mandarin Corpus (168 children four age groups: 2;6, 3;6, 4;6, 5;6). Data analyses indicated: (1) Mandarin-speaking produced a repertoire 21 types adverbs, first group (M = 2;6) capable using to denote events; (2) within each group, significantly more than other two subtypes; (3) there was significant effect that, with...

Research Findings: This study aims to validate the Parent Satisfaction with Education Experiences Scale (PSEE) and explore parental satisfaction early childhood education service in urban China. Altogether 27,515 Chinese parents who were randomly sampled from 12 cities of China completed survey. First, exploratory confirmatory factor analyses yielded three-factor construct that was identical original American one, indicating a satisfactory validity, internal consistency is also satisfactory....

The global education system has two primary objectives: achieving universal quality early childhood (ECE) and integrating information communication technology (ICT). We sought to determine whether preservice preschool teachers possess the necessary knowledge integrate ICT into ECE by examining technological pedagogical content (TPACK) of 950 in China. results latent profile analysis revealed three distinct TPACK profiles: Low (24%, n = 223), Medium (57%, 544), High (19%, 183), with majority...

High efficient continuous wave (CW) and acousto-optical (AO) Q-switched operation of a b-cut Tm,Ho:YAlO3 (Tm,Ho:YAP) laser are reported in the paper. The Tm,Ho:YAP crystal was cooled by liquid nitrogen pumped fiber-coupled diode (LD). Different pump wavelengths were tried experiment. An 8.36-W output power acquired at 2.12 μm CW with an optical-optical conversion efficiency 33.3%, 8.14-W average obtained pulse repetition frequency (PRF) 10 kHz 32.4%.

Aims: The present study aims to examine: (1) the relationship between young children’s bilingualism and their performance in Dimensional Card Change Sort (DCCS) task; (2) whether prefrontal activation was associated with executive function. Methodology: Children performed three sessions of DCCS brain activity during task measured using functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Data analysis: A sample bilingual children ( N = 49) recruited from a preschool an English immersion program. We...

Quantitative identification of the location cultural and creative industries has always been an important issue in study micro-locations human geography. However, most previous studies on focused macro description existing industry lacked quantitative suitable for cultivating developing industries. Therefore, based relevant theory industries, urban field strength its model are proposed. From perspective built environment, 500 m × grids were established as analysis units multi-source data,...

Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: The bilingual advantage in executive function (EF) has recently been explored with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology, but the results are still controversial because of limited statistical analysis. This study aims to fill gap by replicating existing studies advancing Design/methodology/approach: Altogether, 35 preschoolers (aged between 4.1 6.3 years, M age = 5.0 SD 0.59) completed Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Fourth...

This study explored the family language policy, bilingual parenting profiles, and predictors among Chinese parents in Singapore. Altogether 175 of Chinese-English preschoolers (aged 2;6–5;6) were sampled surveyed. The research results indicated that: (1) a majority (93.7%) believed early bilingualism but differed their beliefs about appropriate starting age for bilingualism; (2) two latent profiles emerged: Radical Bilingual Parenting (n = 91, 52.00%, reading activities from Age 2, longer...
