New directions in the conceptualization and operationalization of the home learning environment.

Abstract: The Home Learning Environment (HLE) focuses on everyday learning habits in families to support the development of children's early cognitive competencies. A growing number of studies have assessed the HLE by using different conceptual approaches and various assessment methods, often focusing on either the home literacy environment or the home numeracy environment. However, it is still unclear whether the 2 dimensions of the HLE are separable constructs and which assessment method is best suited for assessing t… Show more

“…First, it is widely believed by parents that their role in supporting their children's formal education in reading is more important than supporting their children's formal math training (Szczygieł, 2020; Wirth et al., 2023). Specifically, parents consider teaching reading to be at least partly their responsibility to do at home (often in bedtime rituals) and training in formal mathematics to be primarily the responsibility of teachers in schools (Cannon & Ginsburg, 2008).…”

“…Similarly, there is evidence of a relationship between home numeracy and numerical development [24,[37][38][39][40][41][42]. The home literacy and the home numeracy environment are cohesive parts of a global HLE [43], which was also found to predict higher secondary school tracks recommended by teachers at the end of primary school [44]. Most of the literature on home literacy and numeracy was obtained using parents' self-report questionnaires, which showed reliable results [34,38], suggesting that parents' reports can be considered suitable tools in this research field [45].…”

“…There are different ways to assess the HLE and the debate about the most suitable assessment method is still ongoing (e.g., [62,63]). To assess the HLE as comprehensive as possible in a large-scale longitudinal study, Learning4Kids uses several operationalizations such as parent surveys on the home literacy environment and the home numeracy environment (see above), observations of parent-child interactions during shared reading and playing a dice game, and children's book title and mathematical game title checklists (for more detail, please refer to [8]). For the second cohort, two additional observation items were included that assess also the response behaviour of the child in addition to the quality of the parent-child interaction in general [64].…”

“…Given that this study includes comprehensive longitudinal assessments, numerous analyses are conceivable. Consequently, in addition to the testing for potential short-and long-term intervention effects on children's literacy and mathematical competencies (see [26]), other research questions, for instance, concerning the home learning environment can be conducted (e.g., [8,57]). Here, structural equation modelling can be used to analyse the complex longitudinal associations between the study variables and children's development in the family context.…”
