| Outline of Research at the Start |
A supportive home learning environment (HLE) is critical to stimulating early childhood development outcomes. This research addresses gender, rural-urban, and socio-economic status inequality in HLE and how HLE influences preschoolers’ holistic development in Bangladesh.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The main research achievements are outlined as below. 1) The analysis results indicate that facilitating a supportive HLE is vital for child development through promoting effective caregiving interaction activities and age-appropriate learning and playing resources, particularly for children in low socioeconomic status (SES) households. 2) The analysis results also indicate that girls, ECE enrollment, and preschoolers living in high SES households are more likely to fulfill their developmental potential, benefiting from different components of HLE activities. 3) The findings might help the government design appropriate guidelines on tailored parenting programs to promote development outcomes for children with diversified backgrounds.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Due to safety considerations influenced by the pandemic, the field study in Bangladesh supporting the interpretation of the research findings based on second-hand data analysis has been delayed.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the new fiscal year, the researcher plans to conduct a field study in Bangladesh to further understand the current status of early childhood development. Meanwhile, the researcher also intends to carry out a comparative study between Bangladesh and other Asian countries to understand the differences in early childhood development further.
