Laforet “ The best prekindergarten programs for lower SES children have a substantial effect on IQ, but this typically fades by late elementary school, perhaps because the environments of the children do not remain enriched.”[1] ”
您从文献中节选的这一段仅仅是作者猜测低收入家庭子女在小学会失去之前的优势的原因是,低收入家庭(SES )无法持续为子女提供高质量的教育环境。并不是说早期教育不重要。
此外,这也不恰恰给出了解决办法吗 - let's keep the environments enriched.
"A large number of interventions have been shown to have
substantial effects on IQ and academic achievement. In
particular, there is clear evidence that school affects intelligence."
文献这节的一开始,作者就承认了学校教育对智力发育的影响。
"...Whether or not high-quality intervention programs
have sustained IQ effects, the effects on academic achievement
and life outcomes can be very substantial..."
“...Quality of teaching in kindergarten also has a measurable
impact on academic success and life outcomes...”
全节多个地方作者明确表态,承认优秀的早期教育对研究对象未来学习和生活带来的积极影响。
至于 SES 是否负担得起,这就是另外一个残酷的现实问题了。而我的观点是,未来儿童市场会全面奢饰品化,越来越多的 SES 是负担不起良好的早期教育的。
