Abstract

Abstract:This study examined the degree to which dimensions of parenting predicted early academic outcomes in a sample of 111 low-income African American children. Three aspects of parenting were assessed when the children were 36 months old: language stimulation, math-related stimulation, and maternal sensitivity. Academic outcomes were assessed at 54 months and included children’s applied problem solving skills, letter-word identification, and vocabulary. Although the findings suggested that maternal sensitivity and cognitive stimulation are related to early academic skills for low-income African American preschoolers, the results of regression analyses varied depending on the outcome measure. Of particular interest is the finding that language stimulation was a stronger predictor for boys than for girls.

领域特异性认知刺激和母亲敏感性作为低收入非裔美国学龄前儿童早期学业成绩的预测因子

摘要:本研究以111名低收入非裔美国儿童为样本，考察了父母教养维度对其早期学业成绩的预测程度。在孩子36个月大时，研究人员评估了育儿的三个方面:语言刺激、数学相关刺激和母亲的敏感性。学业成绩在54个月时进行评估，包括儿童应用问题解决能力、字母单词识别和词汇量。尽管研究结果表明，母亲的敏感性和认知刺激与低收入非裔美国学龄前儿童的早期学术技能有关，但回归分析的结果因结果测量而异。特别有趣的是，语言刺激对男孩的预测比女孩更强。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
