| Summary: | <p>The purpose of this research was based on parental experiences to explore preschool</p><p>children's school readiness abilities. Parents' experiences play a crucial role in helping</p><p>preschool children smooth the transition from preschool to elementary school. This</p><p>research aims to determine that in preschool-home, i) parental experiences in</p><p>cultivating preschool children's school readiness abilities and (ii) strategies for</p><p>cultivating school readiness abilities. This research was qualitative. Data were</p><p>collected through triangulation including interviews, observations, and document</p><p>analysis. Three university teachers were purposive sampling as respondents from one</p><p>province in southwest China. Observations on three preschoolers who are all 6 years</p><p>old are children of three respondents, and their respective teachers milestones records</p><p>of the three preschoolers' development, learning, and playing were analyzed. At the</p><p>same time, three children's performance at home was observed, and their homework</p><p>was analyzed via the researcher. Duration two months, interviews and observations</p><p>were conducted twice. The study results revealed that the following nine aspects are</p><p>beneficial for the school readiness of preschool children, that is, learning ability;</p><p>reading ability; self-care ability; to respect and accompany children; parental</p><p>education level; participation in the training of the elementary school-related courses;</p><p>based on childrens interests; complete use of surrounding resources; and game as the</p><p>elementary way. However, previous research results show three different aspects, the</p><p>literacy rate is unnecessary for school readiness; preschool children lack self-care</p><p>ability after entering elementary school, and it is forbidden to teach the elementary</p><p>school courses knowledge in advance. The implication of learning environmental,</p><p>development, and physiological factors are more effective and beneficial for</p><p>preschool childrens school readiness, hoping to help parents, preschools, elementary</p><p>schools, and education departments. Despite this, for preschooler's school readiness,</p><p>cultivate preschoolers' necessary abilities and good habits, parents are the key and</p><p>require the active cooperation of preschools and elementary schools to promote</p><p>preschool children's smooth transition for preschooler children enrolling in</p><p>elementary school.</p> |
