Scaling up C-For-Chinese@JC in Kindergarten Sector to Cultivate Culturally Responsive Education This is phase II of the C-for-Chinese@JC project. It aims to consolidate learnings and experience into a benchmark and related reference materials for the kindergarten sector in supporting the non-Chinese speaking children. The project also provides professional development for school leaders and educators so as to increase their capacity and cultural competency in promoting children’s Chinese ability, social and emotional skills, and social integration through culturally responsive teaching (CRT).

Beyond Language Skills, What are the Cognitive Skills and Environmental Risk Factors Contributing to Literacy Skills in Chinese Children at Family Risk of Dyslexia? This project will examine the environmental factors (family socio-economic status and home literacy environment), cognitive skills (executive functioning and visual attention span), language and literacy skills in Chinese children at family risk of dyslexia (FRD) and their subtypes in order to determine the unique contribution of risk factors and skills to literacy ability across different groups of children at FRD and those without. This project will advance the understanding of the heterogeneity issue of FRD, its characteristics and subgroups, and thus may provide the taxonomic classification for future research into the physiological correlates and genetic contributions of Chinese children at FRD. Findings may also assist in enhancing early identification processes and intervention strategies to support Chinese children and their families. The findings will also provide insights into teachers, parents, and policy makers, including ways to facilitate the support of parents’ socialisation efforts, especially among families at risk of literacy difficulties in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Hong Kong Adolescent’s Well-bing: An Ecological Perspective This project aims to examine Hong Kong early adolescents’ well-being from the ecological perspectives. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the normative levels of a wide range of well-being indicators (e.g., physical well-being, psychosocial well-being), the individual and ecological correlates of these indicators, and how these correlates work jointly to predict subsequent well-being.

Reducing early literacy differences in preschool children from low-SES families: The effects of an early metalinguistic intervention Literacy is vital to children’s academic achievement throughout their school years. However, most children from families with low socio-economic status (SES) are at risk of making poor progress in cognitive and language skills, thereby adversely affecting their later academic achievement. The academic achievement gap between disadvantaged and advantaged children seems to play an important role in the intergenerational transmission of poverty. The academic inequalities linked with low SES begin in early childhood and may persist and worsen over time. Increasing evidence has found that Hong Kong preschool children from low-SES backgrounds tend to lag behind their middle-SES peers in language and literary skills. To assist at-risk children from low-SES families and provide them with opportunities to thrive academically, the proposed project intends to develop and implement early literacy intervention programmes based on home-school collaboration and education for Chinese preschool children with low SES. The project also examines the effect of SES on metalinguistic and literacy skills, as well as investigates the metalinguistic profile involved in the literacy development of children from low-SES backgrounds. A total of 240 grade 3 (K3) kindergartners will be recruited from two regions in Hong Kong and will be assigned to either the intervention or non-intervention group. Among the 180 low-SES children, 120 will be equally divided into two intervention groups: the home-school collaborative and school literacy programmes. These programmes will administer training in six domains, namely, orthographic skills, morphological skills, phonological skills, vocabulary knowledge, oral language, and simple writing skills. The remaining 60 low- and 60 middle-SES children will act as controls. We expect that children will benefit more from the home-school and school intervention conditions relative to other non-intervention conditions and would benefit more from the home-school intervention than from the school intervention conditions. This project has theoretical and practical implications. The findings would help clarify the factors that hinder the literacy achievement of low-SES children. Moreover, the findings will assist researchers and educators in understanding the language and literacy skills of Hong Kong children from low-SES backgrounds including home environment factors and social emotional skills. The results will also practically promote home-school collaboration in the literacy development of children, promote parent/teacher and child relationship, and provide appropriate curriculum content and instructional and supporting strategies for these children. Importantly, this study will provide research-based evidence for formulating public policies and services, targeting the issues of early language and literacy intervention, poverty, and early childhood education.

Parental Emotion Socialization: The Roles of Fathers, Parental Gender Attitudes, and Child Temperament Research suggests that emotional competence has important implications for multiple aspects of adjustment, including psychological well-being, social functioning, and academic achievement. Therefore, researchers’ attention has been directed to the socialization of children's emotion knowledge and regulatory skills. Most of this work, however, has focused on the direct links between mothers’ emotion socialization practices and child outcomes, and little is known about (a) whether socializers other than mothers play a unique role in children’s emotional development; (b) how parents’ socialization values may affect their emotion socialization practices; and (c) how parents’ emotion socialization may interact with children's characteristics to affect child outcomes. Grounded in theories of fathering, gender socialization, and differential susceptibility, the goal of the proposed study is to fill some of these gaps in the literature by examining (a) whether fathers’ and mothers’ emotion socialization practices independently contribute to children’s emotional competence; (b) how parents’ gender role attitudes may shape their emotion socialization practices for sons and daughters and; (c) how child temperament may moderate the links between parental emotion socialization practices and child emotional adjustment. Project Start Year: 2015, Principal Investigator(s): LAM, Chun Bun Ian 林俊彬
Family Influences on Children's Social Competence Although parents have been recognized as important socializing agents who shape the social development of children, most research focuses on parents’ roles as interaction partners and neglects their roles as role models, instructors, and opportunity providers. The goal of the proposed study is to fill some of these gaps in the literature by examining the multifaceted influences of parents on children’s social competence. Interview data were collected from about 300 children from 6 local preschools, and questionnaire data were collected from their parents and class teachers. On a theoretical level, the study will add to the larger socialization literature by demonstrating how family experiences may affect child adjustment through different mechanisms. On an applied level, the study will also provide insights for designing effective programs by elucidating what parents may actually do to help their children to develop social and emotional skills.
