Research that Benefits Children and Families

The research topic that I chose is How Parental Involvement Benefit Kids and this topic bring many positive contributions to early childhood. Based on my experience working in the field I have seen that parental Involvement fosters academic achievement when their parents are involved with their schoolwork. Compared to students whose parents are uninvolved, kids with involved parents get better grades and are thought more highly of by teachers. Also, working with Kids, I have noticed kids whose parents are involved with their schoolwork attend school more regularly than kids whose parents are uninvolved. I think this probably occurs for a number of reasons. For example, I can relate to myself my parents who were involved, they kept encouraging consistent attendance and I always wanted to make them proud. Therefore, I had perfect attendance though out my school years. I was also getting homework support from my parents and this helped me to feel more academically competent comparing to other kids who's parents weren't involved. Finally, Parents involvement in education also aids kids' social functioning. For example, in my class the kids with involved parents have better peer interaction than kids with uninvolved parents.

    Naire,

    Your research topic - How Parental Involvement Benefit Kids is an awesome one. Often parents in ECE do not understand the importance of them coming to the program. Our program offers family conferences three times per year and many of our families do not come. But have lots of questions about their child's academic success.

    Hi! Family involvement is imperative to a child's development. Sometimes this can be hard when working with parents that have tight work schedules. I've known parents that no matter how well we made accommodations for families that worked, some were simply unable to to be 100 % involved. I can only hope that for the parents that have trouble with being involved in their childs development and education are able to squeeze in some amount of time to be active. Even a little bit of their time can make a difference.

    Thanks for sharing!

Sharing Web Resources I chose Association for Children Education International organization. ACEI is international organization and its belief that education is important for development. The focus of ACEI to educate all children , but their main focus is on meeting the education needs to the children that in need the most. Their work started in 1892 to promote kindergarten education in the United States and internationally. In 1930 their work expanded to promote education to primary school years. In their Global/ACEI news section “ Our Children Marching For Their Lives in the United States” caught my attention. Children in United States and around the world are marching to protest against gun violence in schools. The violence in today’s world has become ordinary and common. This violence causes number of deaths, injuries, pain and fear throughout the world. I have leaned from this article that children march for tow reasons, they march to express their emotion and also to show to th...

Testing For Intelligence  I do not think that Standardized Testing correctly measures a student’s intelligence or academic level. Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently. I believe that it puts too much pressure and stress on students to do good on those tests like the SAT, ACT tests, etc. I don’t feel like you can gain anything from taking those tests because most of the questions that are on the test are the ones that you’ve never seen before or you’ve never even learned about in school. It shouldn’t have to play a role on smart the student is or determined their abilities. If I was the leader of the state’s Department of Education, I would advocate fewer standardized tests so that it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the students to do well on them. In china China, all s...
