Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.

This research aims to understand the gap in literacy levels between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in Australia. The researcher created a questionnaire to gather opinions from industry professionals on why this gap exists and how teacher training and government funding schemes have addressed this issue. The questionnaire was distributed by email to teachers, education organization employees, and teacher aides. The responses indicated that most participants were aware of lower literacy scores for Indigenous students on NAPLAN assessments. While some funding is provided to schools, respondents displayed limited knowledge of specific programs supported. Many felt programs like Multi-Lit and Mini-Lit have helped when implemented consistently. Most participants believed they did not have adequate opportunities to further their skills in teaching Indigenous students literacy.

Capstone Research Paper. Fall 2015. Huang, Nguyen & ZhangZijian Huang
This study examines the impact of early childhood education programs, particularly Head Start, on children's non-cognitive outcomes using a national longitudinal dataset. The results indicate that children who attended Head Start improved in both internalizing and externalizing behaviors between 3rd and 8th grade compared to children who attended other pre-K programs or had no pre-K. However, Head Start children from low-income families did not fare as well in externalizing behaviors compared to children in other pre-K programs. This highlights the need to improve aspects of Head Start that address externalizing behaviors and enhance program quality for low-income children.
An online questionnaire was distributed to parents of children with hearing loss receiving early intervention services. It aimed to understand parent perceptions of early interventionist support for developing parental self-efficacy. The results from 16 parents were compared to one early interventionist's responses. Key findings were:
1) Parents rated increasing their confidence in managing their child's hearing devices as the most important role for interventionists, whereas the interventionist rated this lower.
2) Research shows developing parental self-efficacy is important for improving language outcomes, yet parents may not understand this relationship.
3) The questionnaire revealed discrepancies between what parents and interventionists viewed as priorities, indicating a need for improved understanding and communication.
The document discusses the current state of knowledge around early childhood care and development (ECCD) in emergency settings. It notes that while awareness of the importance of ECCD in emergencies has grown, significant gaps remain in understanding how to best support young children. It calls for more robust research that incorporates local contexts and uses mixed methodologies to evaluate interventions. Within 10 years, the document envisions ECCD being better integrated with other sectors and informed by an evidence base of promising practices developed through collaborative networks.

The document summarizes key findings from the Young Lives study, a longitudinal study following children in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam. It finds that (1) children's development across domains like health, learning and psychosocial are interdependent, calling for multidimensional and coordinated policies. (2) While early childhood is critical for physical growth, improvements are still possible later on. (3) Gender gaps in education enrollment emerge and widen through adolescence, calling for identifying when and how inequities form to prevent diverging pathways. The study highlights the importance of longitudinal data in understanding how circumstances shape development and identifying windows for interventions.

A comparison study on academic performance between ryerson (1)amo0oniee
This study compared the academic performance of Ryerson University ECS students who attended homecare versus childcare in their early years. The researchers hypothesized that students who attended childcare would have a higher GPA. A survey was conducted of 53 random ECS students across years 1-4. The results of a chi-square test showed no significant difference in GPA ranges between the homecare and childcare groups, not supporting the hypothesis. While early care may impact early school performance, the study found no long-term effects on university GPA based on type of early care received.
Do Dreams Come True? Aspirations and educational attainments of Ethiopian boy...Young Lives Oxford
How do aspirations and expectations affect boys’ and girls’ educational attainment in Ethiopia?
This paper investigates the relationship between aspirations and children’s years of schooling, as an indicator of cumulative investments in education.
It explores gender differences in aspirations (at earlier ages) and later school attainment, taking into account non-educational expectations, parental gender-based preferences and how they vary in a context of extreme poverty.
This document discusses cognitive development in middle childhood from ages 7 to 11. It covers several theories including Piaget's theory of concrete operational thought, Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of zones of proximal development and scaffolding, and information processing theories of metacognition. It also examines language development, approaches to teaching reading and math, international assessments of educational outcomes, strategies for second language learning, debates around school choice reforms, and gender differences in school performance.

Parental Opinion Survey Summary of FindingsMike Blamires
The document summarizes findings from a parental opinion survey in the UK that explored parents' experiences, views, and confidence in various parenting domains. Key findings include:
1) The survey found differences in parenting frustration levels based on demographic factors like number of children and education level, as well as attitudes around time, child behavior, and confidence. Parents of children with special needs reported more behavior challenges.
2) Most parents felt involved in their child's education, but confident parents reported greater involvement. Non-resident parents desired more involvement.
3) While most parents knew where to find parenting information and services, confidence varied by factors like education level. A parents' panel provided additional insights into parental views and experiences.
Age of Learning Research | Kindergarten Readiness Standards Among U.S. StatesAge of Learning
Parents, educators, and policymakers are increasingly focused on the importance of ensuring that children are well prepared for kindergarten. But there is no national standard for Kindergarten Readiness (KR). Each state independently defines what it means to be kindergarten ready.
This paper presents an unprecedented, comprehensive analysis of Kindergarten Readiness across all 50 states that reveals substantial common ground. By bringing some clarity to a complex picture, this document can also serve as a useful resource for the early childhood community.
Age of Learning Research | What It Means to Be Kindergarten Ready in the U.S.Doug Dohring
This document analyzes kindergarten readiness standards across all 50 U.S. states. It finds that while standards vary, there is broad agreement on 5 key domains: language/literacy, cognitive/math, physical/motor skills, social-emotional development, and approaches to learning. The analysis shows common skills in language/literacy, cognitive/math, and physical/motor skills. It concludes that understanding kindergarten readiness standards can help parents and educators better support children's development and preparation for kindergarten.
This document summarizes research on intergenerational mobility and the role of family policies and welfare states. It makes the following key points:
1) Family background has a stronger correlation with children's outcomes like income in countries like the US and UK compared to Nordic countries. Sibling correlations also suggest family plays a larger role outside Nordic countries.
2) Research shows income elasticities between parents and children have decreased over time in Nordic countries, suggesting greater mobility. Educational reforms in Sweden and Finland in the 1950s-60s increased mobility for children from lower-income families.
3) While welfare states aim to equalize opportunities, it is difficult to identify their causal impact on long-term mobility
Maternal and Child Mental Health_Senefeld CORE Group
The pilot project assessed maternal mental health and early childhood development in Kenya. It found high rates of perinatal depression (68%) and low social support (68%) among mothers. A follow-up study found elevated rates of anxiety (66.7%) and depression (66.7%) among primary caregivers, and negative correlations between caregiver depression and children's development. The project is providing family support and parenting programs, and referring children for developmental delays. Additional research is still needed on how interventions impact child outcomes.
This document presents research on the quality of childcare and its effects on school readiness and child development outcomes. It discusses different types of childcare (parental, home-based, center-based) and reviews literature showing that higher quality care leads to better school preparation. The authors conducted interviews and surveys of parents, teachers and administrators to examine factors like curriculum, funding, facilities, teacher qualifications, and state laws. The analysis found some correlations between these factors and parent perceptions of quality care. The conclusions call for more research on childcare's impacts to influence policymaking.

2. Do People Really Know Their Fertility
Intentions?
Correspondence between Self-Reported
Fertility Intentions and Narratives

3. Background: fertility intention
● Prevalent uncertainty and instability in fertility intentions suggest they are constructed
through time and contextual (Bhrolcháin and Beaujouan 2019, Müller et al. 2022)
● Data collection method on fertility intentions has rarely been evaluated
● Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods enable us to automatically analyze
open-ended data
● Do people’s self-reported fertility intentions correspond with the conditions and
narratives reflected in open-ended answers?
4. Data: open questions
● 433 Dutch women between 21-44 in 2021 from LISS panel
● The standard survey question on fertility intention (GGS: FERXX):
○ Do you intend to have a child in the next three years?
○ If you don't have children for the next three years, would you still plan to
have children after that?
● After the module, we added a follow-up open question*
○ Can you tell us more about what makes you (un)certain about whether or
not to have children?
* Questionnaire and responses originally in Dutch.
5. Data: annotation
● Each response annotated by three individuals on our
interpretation of the most likely long-term fertility outcome
● Annotations follow the same scheme as the close-ended
questions
● Results compared to respondents’ self-reported intentions

8. Method: topic modeling and
classification model
● Binomial logistic regression
● Target: whether a respondent’s self-reported long-term fertility
intention is the same as our annotated label
● Features: age, education level, income, partnership, number of
children, topics in open answers (extracted by an NLP model)
10. Discussion
● Fertility intention often not in line with life conditions
● Uncertainty in existing measurements could be underestimated
● People with strong positive fertility intentions are more likely to
have harder-to-achieve intentions
○ health-related issues or being students
● People with strong negative fertility intentions are more likely to
have more realistic expectations
