Abstract:
An extensive body of research has shown that Home Learning Environment (HlE) not only has direct and significant associations with children's cognitive development and social functioning, but also serves as a protective factor against low socio-economic state (SES). Since the 1990s, in order to improve HLE, the OECD member countries take some measures, such as providing families with learning materials and resources; organizing diverse programs to empower parents to engage in their children's learning and supporting parents to develop a successful curriculum in home. Those initiatives can bring us important inspiration to improve the HLE in our country.
