学前教育与未来学业成就——基于PISA2012的实证研究

Pre-primary Education and Future Academic Achievement:Empirical Research Based on PISA2012

学前教育能够提高儿童未来成就已得到国际学界共识。利用PISA2012跨国数据进行比较发现,相对于中等收入和低收入国家,高收入国家的学前教育参与率、数学素养增值和抗逆比都较高;相对于其他地区来说,西欧、北美,以及东亚太平洋地区的学前教育参与率、数学素养增值和抗逆比也较高。多元回归分析发现,学前教育参与率每提高1%可以带动数学素养增值和抗逆比分别提高1.4%和4%,这反映学前教育不仅能够提高学生的未来学业成就,而且能够促进教育公平。

It＇s recognized by the international academia that pre-primary educationcan help to increase children＇s future achievements. Using cross- national data from PI-SA2012,it＇s found that compared with middle-income and low-income countries,the pre-primary education participation rate,added value of mathematical literacy,and resilientrate are much higher in high- income countries;compared with other regions around theworld,countries in Western Europe,North America,Asian Pacific,tend to have higher pre-primary education participation rate,added value in mathematical literacy and resilientrate. By doing multivariate regression,it＇s found that 1% increase of pre-primary educationparticipation rate would bring 1.4% and 4% increases in added value of mathematical litera-cy and resilient ratio respectively.This reflects that pre-primary education would not onlyimprove students＇ academic achievements,but also enhance equality of education.
