ABCs and 123s: A large birth cohort study examining the role of the home learning environment in early cognitive development

The aim of this study was to examine the role of different types of home learning activities, such as reading, singing, painting, playing games, and letters and numbers (ABCs and 123 s), in the development of nonverbal reasoning skills in young children. Although much previous research has focused on the role of the home learning environment in the development of language and numeracy skills, few studies have explored other aspects of cognitive development such as nonverbal reasoning. The data were drawn from the Growing Up in Ireland study, a nationally representative longitudinal birth cohort study. We examined whether learning activities were associated with scores on standardized nonverbal reasoning and vocabulary tests of the British Ability Scales in a sample of 9793 3-year-old children. The regression models also controlled for other factors that potentially influence cognitive development such as the parent–child relationship and maternal education. The findings indicate that activities such as reading, games, and painting/drawing have a small but statistically significant association with nonverbal reasoning scores, as well as with vocabulary scores, even after controlling for other factors in the model. Teaching the alphabet or numbers did not make significant contributions to the model. The findings of the study highlight the importance of considering the role of different types of home learning activities, as well as other environmental factors, in different aspects of cognitive development. We consider the implications of the findings for theories of cognitive development and for supporting cognitive development in young children.

What We Talk about When We Talk about Rigor: Examining Conceptions of Academic Rigor

ABSTRACT Academic rigor has long been considered important for students’ learning and development in higher education. However, findings about students’ outcomes from previous studies of rigor are mixed, in part because of varying conceptions of what constitutes rigor. In quantitative research, rigor is often operationalized in one of two ways: through students’ workload in courses or through their instructors’ expectations for course learning in the form of cognitive challenge. This study employed data from a multi-institutional, longitudinal study of undergraduates in the United States to examine the relationship of both conceptions of rigor with students’ cognitive development, including their critical thinking skills and two measures of self-motivated learning (need for cognition and positive attitudes toward literacy). Workload was related to four-year growth in positive attitudes about reading and writing, while cognitive challenge was related to self-motivated learning in year one and all three aspects of cognitive development in year four. In particular, the amount of reading that students completed was the only measure of workload positively associated with outcomes, while both challenge in class and in exams and assignments played a role. These findings have implications for instructors, instructional developers, institutional leaders, and researchers in higher education.
