Abstract

ABSTRACT Process-oriented child monitoring (POM) deals with systematic monitoring of the observed learning needs of children in early childhood education by teachers. Between 2017 and 2021, a teacher professional development trajectory was implemented using POM in ethnically diverse preschools in Central Vietnam. These preschools typically consist of disadvantaged children at risk of barriers to classroom activity engagement. This study evaluates the effectiveness of POM using a pre- and posttest research design with a treatment and control group. Participants (N = 339) in the study were assigned to the treatment or control group using a clustered-randomized sampling approach. Whereas Kinh children rarely occur in the school population, the analysis focuses on ethnic minorities only in both treatment and control groups. Results indicate that POM is promising in increasing holistic child development. Five-year-old girls show most progression in cognitive functioning and socio-emotional development, while boys at this age indicate advances in socio-emotional development and health behaviors. Further evidence indicates that changes in teaching children from poor households play out much faster for child development, as opposed to what is observed among wealthier households.

老师所需要的就是了解孩子们？越南学龄前儿童成长的实证研究

以过程为导向的儿童监测（POM）是指由教师对幼儿教育中观察到的儿童学习需求进行系统监测。2017年至2021年间，在越南中部种族多样的幼儿园中，使用POM实施了教师专业发展轨迹。这些幼儿园通常由弱势儿童组成，他们面临课堂活动参与障碍的风险。本研究采用治疗组和对照组的测试前和测试后研究设计来评估POM的有效性。参与者（N = 339）使用聚类随机抽样方法被分配到治疗组或对照组。尽管Kinh儿童很少出现在学校人群中，但分析仅关注治疗组和对照组中的少数民族。结果表明，POM在促进儿童整体发展方面很有前景。五岁女孩在认知功能和社会情感发展方面表现出最大的进步，而这个年龄的男孩在社会情感发展和健康行为方面表现出进步。进一步的证据表明，与富裕家庭中观察到的情况相比，贫困家庭的儿童教育变化对儿童发展的影响要快得多。
