“…Similarly, in a multilevel path analysis study based on the TIMSS 2015 data for Grade 4 students in Hong Kong, a direct, positive link to mathematics achievement was observed for the frequency of early numeracy activities Zhu and Chiu (2019). Similar results were reported for Grade 4 Korean students where early numeracy activities positively predicted mathematics achievement when taking into account the mediating effects of early numeracy competency and numeracy self-efficacy (Hwang, 2020), and for Grade 4 students in Singapore when accounting for gender, immigration status and family learning resources (Cui et al, 2021).…”

“…Some recent studies with larger, representative sample sizes, using data drawn from the TIMSS 2015 survey, have analyzed the relationships between early numeracy activities and 4th Grade mathematics achievement (Chiu, 2018;Cui et al, 2021;Hwang, 2020;Zhu & Chiu, 2019). Using a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, Chiu (2018) demonstrated that when using parental values and gender as preconditions and controlling for socioeconomic status (SES), early numeracy activities were positively related to Taiwanese Grade 4 students' mathematics achievement, confidence and interest.…”

The present study aimed to examine the relations of early numeracy activities and skills to mathematics dispositions, engagement, and achievement among 26,859 fourth graders in the United Arab Emirates who took part in the sixth cycle of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 2015. The study also explored the mediating effects of mathematics dispositions and engagement on the relations between early numeracy activities and skills and mathematics achievement among these fourth graders. Results of path analyses, after controlling for participants’ demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, indicated that early numeracy activities and skills were significantly and positively related to mathematics dispositions, engagement, and achievement. Further, results of mediational analyses suggested that confidence in mathematics had a significant mediating effect on the relations between early numeracy activities and skills and mathematics achievement. The findings of the study highlight the crucial role that early numeracy activities and skills play in enhancing fourth graders’ mathematics dispositions, engagement, and achievement in the United Arab Emirates.

“…Uludag and Erkan (in press) determined that the use of out-of-school learning environments in science education positively affects the science process skills of young children. Similarly, Cui, Zhang, and Leung (2021) reported that visiting science and technology museums, aquariums, botanical gardens, or planetariums with their parents positively affected their science achievement. Also, parents involvement in science education provides opportunities to spend time together conducting fun activities, such as visiting the zoo, planetarium, botanical gardens, nature walks, and so on (Alisinanoglu, Ozbey, & Kahveci, 2015;Fleer & Rillero, 1999;Hofstein & Rosenfeld, 1996, NSTA, 2009.…”

This study aimed to investigate parents' views about science and parent involvement in pre-school science activities. According to Cresswell's designs' sequential explanatory mixed-method design, the study was conducted. The participants were composed of parents of 39 children (60-72 months) who studied in two different classrooms, there were 20 children in one of the classrooms, and there were 19 children in the other classroom at a public pre-school in Ankara/Turkey in 2015-2016 school year. The Parents' Views about Science and Preschool Science Activities Scale and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three volunteer parents, each from the parents who got high, medium, and low average scores from the scale. Thus, parents' views about science and parent involvement in pre-school science activities were examined in detail. According to the results of this study, it was determined that the parents who participated in this study had positive views on science and science education in pre-school, realized the importance of science activities in pre-school, were eager to participate in pre-school science activities. Therefore, this study suggests that teachers and parents should be informed that parents' involvement is essential for doing science activities in pre-school.

“…When obedience toward the sharia has been instilled in children's behavior and attitude, the sense of shame to violet the guidance of the sharia is permanently and automatically embedded in children's personality. In this case, the parent's role is crucial in building this character as children's conduct and behavior are the reflection of their parents in the family (Porumbu & Necşoi, 2013;Erzad, 2018;Cui et al, 2021;Iacopetti et al, 2021). Thus, families in Tablighi Jamaah emphasize instilling a sense of shame in violating the guidance of sharia.…”

This study is aimed at exploring how to build family-based Islamic character in the Tablighi Jamaat community. As a qualitative study, the research was conducted by using an ethnographic approach. The data were collected through direct interviews with ten informants which are the heads of the family that belong to the Tablighi Jamaat community. Moreover, the researcher was also involved in some religious activities of the community for two years that the observation during the activities can be used to reinforce the result of the interviews. Those activities are Ijtima’ (annual gathering), Bayan Markas (sermon), Ta’lim Halaqah, Khuruj (proselytizing tour), Jaulah, and some informal visits to interviewees’ families. All data, both interviews and direct observation, were thematically analyzed by using specific software, namely NVivo 12. Based on the data it is found that there are five major Islamic characters could be developed through the family-based character building in the Jama’ah Tablghi community, namely: (1) good moral conduct to parents, (2) having a sense of shame to violate the shari’a, (3) behaving based on Islamic shari’a, (4) time punctuality, (5) good moral characters. Finally, the findings reveal that the building of family-based Islamic characters in the Tablighi Jamaat community contributes to the positive effects of children's Islamic characters in family and community.
