Concept/Strategy_ Social Skills Training



Program/Approach_ AbecedarianApproach


• Pretend you are the ‘Educational Leader’ at your Early Learning Centre Service and also for your council network.


• Several of your centres are co-located with primary schools, and teachers from the early primary will also be guided by you (hence research/advice can cover a range of 3- 8 year-olds).


• Educators in your professional network have heard of a particular concept/strategy AND a program/approach and wonder if they should be using it in their classrooms. Several parents have also asked about these.



Your job as Educational Leader is to write a 2500 word ‘Research Review Report’ that:


Overall aims to critically evaluate and summarise currently available and important research for concept/strategy AND program/approach. (NB. Your concept/strategy in no way needs to be related to the program/approach you choose).


For Concept/Strategy:- Describe/summarise components/details of concept/strategy that proposes impact on 3-8 y.o. development (the intervention)


- Explain how the concept/strategy proposes to impact on 3-8 y.o. development (the theory/mechanisms)


- Evaluate and summarise research describing the concept/strategy’s impact on 3-8 y.o. development (the evidence/data) For Program/Approach:


- Describe/summarise components/details of program/approach that proposes impact on 3-8 y.o. development (the intervention)


- Explain how the program/approach proposes to impact on 3-8 y.o. development (the theory/mechanisms)


- Evaluate and summarise research describing the program/approach’s impact on 3-8 y.o. development (the evidence/data)


Final Statement:- Use your overall evaluation and summary of currently available and important research for 1 concept/strategy AND 1 program/approach to provide a guiding statement for early childhood settings on the use of these. You can add comments on the strength of evidence, consistency of evidence, who it has or has not been applied to in research, and possible cautions or limitations to it or the research.


3- 8 y.o. “ development” can include physical/motor, social-emotional, cognitive (including executive function), early literacy/numeracy, and language domains, if research has been done in these areas. NB: Research may not have been done on all developmental domains or across all ages of 3-8 y.o. for a particular intervention. An accurate and thorough database search will help you find what is available.




What is the strategy/concept or program/approach?


What problems, difficulties, strengths or skills does it aims to improve/address?


What is the theoretical rationale (e.g., how will/does it work in theory)?


What is involved (e.g., time, sessions, training, who delivers it, materials, other people involved)?


Are there any risks/possible adverse effects?


What does the research literature/evidence say?


How effective is it (e.g., amount of improvement, what areas show improvement, what areas don’t, are there any effect sizes reported, how much did certain tasks or tests improve or not)?


What is the evidence that it works (e.g., how measured, tests, reports, surveys, observations, questions etc)?


How strong or weak is the research evidence base? (e.g., what is the quality of the research - using guides available)


What is the current overall conclusion/recommendation/guidance on its use based on multiple studies (if available)?

Introduction
The Abecedarian method is one of the few evidence-based programs that incorporates the basic principles of human learning and development into an interesting, accessible, and effective method of early childhood education (Ampartzaki&Kalogiannakis, 2015). The focus of the project is on intervention for children aged 3 to 8 and their families, starting with intensive learning and social and emotional support from childhood and continuing until at least kindergarten enrollment. The project seeks to determine whether providing a theory-based positive experience can provide significant language and learning benefits to children from very poor and high-risk families (families who are known to be at low educational risk).
Strategy that proposes impact on 3-8 y.o. development
Strategy intervention goals were:
1. Family support.
2. Improve early childhood development and school performance.
The wide range of programs includes exciting relationships, rich care, and enduring relationships between children and adults. Throughout the day, rich interaction with personal language takes place frequently and intentionally and takes place in all the ordinary events of life and care. The goal is to master this broad method of teaching, as most children’s days up to the age of two include food, clothing, learning, recreation, and dynamic interaction with adults(Law & Hall, 2009).
Strategy proposes to impact on 3-8 y.o. development
The focus of Method 3a is to provide specific evidence-based approaches that can improve the personal, social, and educational success of young children who may need more attention and support in local situations to ensure their success in development and learning(Mila, 2016).
Australia’s ‘Methods of Preschool Education’ was developed after reviewing the international literature on the results of research on international programs and methods (including research in the field of pre-school education) and was selected to support unfavorable conditions such as poverty and social marginalist. The most suitable method for young children.Because understanding the local environment is important when attempting to successfully implement a model program, key components of the Abecedarianapproach are studied and adjusted through a series of projects and activities that adapt the details of the content to local conditions(Mudrick et al., 2020).
Research describing the concept/strategy’s impact on 3-8 y.o. development
The developmental stage of 3-8 years is very essential period of development, during which children can develop the important cognitive, language, and socio-emotional skills that can predict future tasks in school as well as adulthood. Therefore, it is significant to offer an appropriate learning support for the young children who might at risk of poor growing outcomes, to provide an incentive environment and family support services(Jensen, 2009).The treatment plan evaluated in this study had a statistical effect on the increase in language progress scores during the first two years of the plan. At the end of the second year, the mean language level of the treatment group was much higher than that of the control group. The differences between indigenous children in treatment group and indigenous children in control group were eliminated at the beginning of treatment(Nuryati, 2018). Indigenous children in the control group showed negative changes in linguistic development, and compared to the native children in the switch group, the native children in treatment group showed active development. The results also showed that girls in the treatment group showed greater...
