“…The nonacademic environment at home is not succeeded to develop a positive attitude, motivation, and work consciousness. The consistency result found by Li et al [22], explored that the home environment has a signi cant linkage which has partially mediated relations between family status and learning. Low family status has responsible for poor class participation due to low levels of access to academic activities, poor relations with teachers, and limited access to information resources.…”

The relationship between poverty and education is complex and interdependent. Poverty limits access to quality schools and educational resources, leading to lower academic performance and class engagement. The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of poverty on class engagement in assignment submission. A cross-sectional survey has been applied in a quantitative and positivist philosophical setting. Five hundred and thirty samples were randomly selected from 20 community schools in Jhapa and Morang using stratified sampling. Poverty identification was based on the Nepal Multidimensional Poverty Index (MMPI), 2021. Primary data is based on self-reports and non-standard questionnaires and analyzed through Stata 14 by taking support of logistic regression. The study found that 90 percent are far from better learning resources and about 50 percent of impoverished students have fewer opportunities to correct assignments regularly. The majority of poor students who do not complete homework within the deadline are punished physically. Similarly, more than 70 percent of students living in poverty have no access to interaction and learning support. According to the study's findings, students living in poverty participate less actively in class during the submission and correction of assignments. Poverty-stricken students have not taken full advantage of their educational prospects. The study suggests that quality education for students living in poverty is possible through the provision of quality educational resources, support to teachers and families, and the implementation of programs that address the specific needs of children.

“…The outdoor areas of Chinese kindergartens are mostly composed of areas for sports equipment, sand and water play, construction play, and gardening. These areas are generally less structured and lack teachers' special guidance on peer interaction and communication strategies [64]. Therefore, K2 and K3 children tend to play independently after acquiring basic operating skills, and are rarely engaged in cooperative or group activities.…”

Children’s outdoor free play, which is characterized by intensive physical engagement and diverse social interactions, plays a unique role in early childhood development and education. However, existing scales cannot comprehensively measure children’s performance in outdoor free play. The research purpose of this study was to develop and validate an Outdoor Free Play Scale for Children-Preschool Version (OFPS-P) with good reliability and validity, in order to provide a practical tool for teachers to understand the level of children’s outdoor free play. Based on the review of existing scales of children’s play and the uniqueness of children’s outdoor free play, we developed a scale with 12 items and validated the scale with two samples of preschool children with exploratory (nsample1 = 140) and confirmatory (nsample2 = 241) factor analyses. Four factors were identified in this scale: physical fitness, approaches to learning, social interaction, and imagination. The results indicated good reliability and validity of OFPS-P, which can be used to evaluate preschool children’s performance on outdoor free play and to support teachers’ effective support in outdoor play activities in kindergartens.

The home-rearing environment (HRE) is significantly related to preschoolers’ academic and behavioral development. Children’s screen time has become an increasingly important aspect of the family environment in today’s digital age. However, few studies explored screen time’s indirect role in the relationships between HRE and children’s development. This study was conducted in three provinces of China, and 825 child-parent dyads participated. The results indicated that a high-quality HRE is directly associated with better language and cognitive skills, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and fewer problem behaviors in children. Screen time has an indirect role in this relationship, suggesting that a better HRE associated with lower screen time improves children’s outcomes. However, the HRE did not show a significant indirect role through screen time related to children’s problem behavior, indicating other factors may play a role. The study highlights the importance of fostering enriching home environments and managing screen time to support children’s development.
