Abstract

Previous evidence suggests that early self-regulation is related to the development of scientific literacy (SL) at preschool and primary school age. However, how (emotionally neutral) executive functions and the more emotion-related facets of self-regulation associate with early SL development remains largely unexplored. Drawing on data from 1,931 children and their parents from a German longitudinal cohort study, the study analysed various facets of self-regulation and unravelled their associations to early SL development at the ages of 5 to 7, while controlling for important child and family factors. The results indicated that inhibitory control and phonological working memory are related to SL at both ages. Furthermore, the effect of these facets on later SL remained significant even after controlling for earlier SL, while the effect of children's parent-reported effortful control on later SL at age 7 was completely mediated by earlier SL at age 5.

预测学龄前和小学阶段儿童科学素养的自我调节能力

以往的证据表明，早期自我调节与学龄前和小学阶段科学素养（SL）的发展有关。然而，（情绪中性的）执行功能和自我调节中更多与情绪相关的方面如何与早期科学素养的发展相关联，在很大程度上仍未得到研究。这项研究利用德国一项纵向队列研究中1931名儿童及其父母的数据，分析了自我调节的各个层面，并在控制重要的儿童和家庭因素的情况下，揭示了它们与5至7岁早期SL发展的关系。结果表明，抑制控制和语音工作记忆与两个年龄段的可持续语言发展都有关系。此外，即使在控制了早期 SL 后，这些方面对后期 SL 的影响仍然显著，而家长报告的儿童努力控制对 7 岁儿童后期 SL 的影响则完全由 5 岁儿童早期 SL 的影响所中介。
