Early Care and Education Workforce Compensation, Program Quality, and Child Outcomes: A Review of the Research

ABSTRACT Research Findings: Despite the importance of early care and education (ECE) for children’s early learning and parents’ labor force participation, workers average low pay with few benefits. The precarity of work and low compensation contribute to staff turnover and other problems, with potential implications for staff well-being, children’s development, and parents’ employment. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated problems relating to the supply of and staff recruitment and retention in ECE. This paper provides a brief background and then reviews the empirical research linking early ECE worker compensation with program quality, children’s outcomes, and staff turnover. We identified a range of studies that examined pay or workplace benefits in ECE, the majority of which used nonexperimental methods. In general, most studies found small associations among low compensation, poor worker mental health or well-being, or turnover or intentions to leave their jobs or the early childhood field. Fewer studies examined associations between compensation and measures of quality or children’s outcomes, finding small or nonsignificant associations. One study using experimental methods found evidence that financial bonuses reduced staff turnover. Practice or Policy: Together, evidence suggests that low worker compensation is linked with poorer worker outcomes and staff turnover in ECE.

Supporting Curriculum Designers in Developing Balanced Outcome-based Programs using Knowledge Graphs

It is essential for universities to accredit their programs to be recognized locally and globally and to maintain the quality and credibility of educational programs. For programs to become accredited, they must meet predefined quality standards for the intended accreditation institution. These quality standards are applied to program courses, and each course covers some requirements from the accreditation requirements, such as Student and Course Learning Outcomes, based on their specific accreditation commission. As programs and courses are added frequently at university programs, information about accreditation mapped to each course syllabus and program description is becoming more complicated. It must be maintained automatically since program accreditation must be renewed on a regular basis to guarantee the program's quality. In addition, supporting Curriculum Designers in finding gaps and imbalances in the proposed programs and courses is becoming necessary to alleviate the management of accreditation related tasks. In this paper, we propose a knowledge graph-based system that supports the development of balanced educational programs and helps detecting gaps and redundancies within the same university programs. The system provides an attractive graphical user interface that visualizes the curriculum components and accreditation requirements as interactive graphs. The system has been implemented using the graph database Neo4j and the results are analyzed using the Cypher query language
