ABSTRACTThis case study was undertaken to characterise the interventions made by a kindergarten teacher during a multiplicative structure problem-solving lesson. The study findings show that when she realised the children were having difficulty, she provided assistance to enable them to find the right answer. When the children gave an incorrect response, she did not prompt them to reason their ideas, but either ignored their response or guided them to the right answer with manipulatives. Moreover, less varied and simpler problem-solving strategies were employed when the teacher gave instructions than when she gave help or clues. From this, we conclude that the intervention determined the type of strategy used by the children and the teacher varied their discourse depending on the children’s performance.KEYWORDS: Problem solvinginterventionsteacher’s speechearly childhood education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTEarly childhood education and care (ECEC) has been found to be beneficial for the development of children below three years. However, many children do not attend ECEC facilities. Frequently, structural family characteristics (SFC), such as migration background, educational attainment and income, are used to explain differing probabilities of attendance, while parental attitudes are mostly not considered. Thus, assuming that SFC influence attitudes, this paper investigates whether the attitudes and views of parents towards ECEC explain why one- and two-year-old children from disadvantaged families attend day care less often, although they would strongly benefit from high-quality ECEC. The underlying data are from the German DJI Child Care Study (KiBS). The results show that parental attitudes substantially contribute to explaining diverging attendance probabilities. The more positive parents evaluate day care, the higher the probability of their child attending. However, SFC maintain most of their explanatory power. Besides, SFC and parental attitudes interact. The probability of ECEC attendance increases differently depending on the (varying degree of positivity of) attitudes by SFC.KEYWORDS: ECECstructural characteristicsorientationsocial inequalityearly childhoodattitudes towards day carechild care Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData are publicly available for scientific use from December 2023 at: https://doi.org/10.17621/kibs2021 (Lippert, Kerstin; Anton, Jeffrey; Hüsken, Katrin; Hubert, Sandra; Kayed, Theresia; Wieschke, Johannes; Hoang, Tony; Jähnert, Alexandra; Kuger, Susanne (2023): DJI-Kinderbetreuungsstudie – KiBS.

ABSTRACTTo explore the chain mediating effect of teacher–child conflict and sleeping disorders between work intensification on vocal fatigue of kindergarten teachers, 847 kindergarten teachers in China were investigated using the Work Intensification Scale, Teacher–Child Relationship Scale (TCRS), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI). Data were analyzed by JASP 0.14.1 and structural equation model was built through Mplus8.3. It showed that there were significant differences in vocal fatigue of kindergarten teachers in areas, age and education level. Work intensification, teacher–child conflict and sleeping disorders were positively correlated with vocal fatigue of kindergarten teachers after controlling for demographic variables such as the nature of the kindergarten, geographic areas, gender, age and education level of the teachers. In the multiple mediation model, work intensification could directly predict vocal fatigue of kindergarten teachers significantly through the mediating role of sleeping disorders but not teacher–child conflict. Moreover, teacher–child conflict and sleeping disorders had a chain mediating effect between work intensification and vocal fatigue of kindergarten teachers. So the government and education authorities should reduce the workload of kindergarten teachers, vocal training should be included in the curriculum of preschool education in universities, and it's necessary to strengthen the pre-service and post-service kindergarten teachers’ training about voice using so as to improve the health care awareness. Teachers should develop communication skills to create effective interactions between teachers and children, and good environment should be created by mindful training to improve sleeping.KEYWORDS: Work intensificationvocal fatigue of kindergarten teachersteacher–child conflictsleeping disorder Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData availability is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analyzed in this study.
