Outline of Final Research Achievements

To ezsamine the effects of quality of ECEC seettings on children's development from 4-years'old to the 2nd grades, the longitudinal data of 1244 children's congnitice (vocanulary and sicentific reasoning) and non cognitive development (collaboration and self-reguilation) has been collected in 24 ECEC settings. The quality of these seetings has been evaluated by using ECEC quality scale that were originally developed. The results showed as follows:①quality of ECEC settings at four-year old class predicts the chilren's vocaburary develoment at １st and ２nd grade.　②The quality of ECEC effects on five year-old children' scientific reasoning ability, but the differences were dissapered after entering school.③ There are diffrences of children's growth of non-cognitive e development between ECEC settings.
