This book was released on 2007 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to determine the effects of school entry age on the academic achievement of third, fourth, and fifth grade students. The subjects for this research were 340 students attending Northside Elementary School in Smithville, Tennessee. Participants were divided into groups by grade and gender: 119 third grade students, 58 female and 61 male; 114 fourth grade students, 58 female and 56 male; and 107 fifth grade students, 61 female and 46 male, participated in the study. The academic variable was of two types, teacher assigned yearly classroom averages and Terra Nova scores. Teacher assigned yearly classroom averages were observed in the areas of reading, spelling, English, math, science, and social studies. Terra Nova scores in the areas of reading/language arts, math, science, and social studies were researched. The entry age variable was calculated to the nearest month of chronological age at kindergarten entrance for each student. Pearson r correlations, at the .05 level of significance, yielded statistically significant relationships between school entry age and academic achievement of males in the areas of fifth grade teacher assigned math scores, fourth grade Terra Nova math scores, fourth grade Terra Nova science scores, and fourth grade Terra Nova social studies scores. There were no statistically significant relationships between female students' third, fourth, or fifth grade achievement and chronological age at school entry.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two decades have seen a rising trend in the minimum entrance age for kindergarten in the United States, motivated by findings from studies finding that older entrants perform better than younger entrants on a wide range of outcomes. Delaying kindergarten entrance, however, imposes additional childcare and time costs on families whose children are forced to stay out of school for another year. This dissertation provides new evidence on the causal effect of delaying kindergarten entrance on children's academic achievement in elementary school. The author finds that, compared to other educational interventions, a one-year delay in kindergarten entrance has a positive and significant effect on children's test scores both when they begin school and at the end of two years in school. Although the initial entrance-age effect is smaller among poor and disabled children compared with that for non-poor and non-disabled children. delaying entrance has a sizable effect on test score gains over time for poor and disabled children but a negligible effect on gains for non-poor and non-disabled children. The author also developed an economic model for parents' kindergarten entrance age decisions and examined the effect of socioeconomic factors on these decisions. Higher childcare prices and maternal wages significantly lower the age at which parents desire to send their child to kindergarten.
