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.

Book The Effects of Kindergarten Entry Age Age at Evaluation and Schooling on Educational Achievement

Download or read book The Effects of Kindergarten Entry Age Age at Evaluation and Schooling on Educational Achievement written by Taehoon Kim and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study separately estimates the effects of kindergarten-entry age, age-at-test, and schooling on cognitive skills using a new identification strategy. These three variables are considered to be perfectly multicollinear in the period of compulsory schooling so that it is deemed that it is not possible to identify their effects separately. I exploit summer break as a period when age increases but schooling does not. The summer break and the variations in survey date in the NLSY79-CS make it possible to resolve the multicollinearity problem. The instrumental variable estimation results show that kindergarten-entry age has a positive effect on math and reading scores. The aging without schooling during the summer break does not improve any test score. Schooling is the most important factor that improves the cognitive skills among the three factors. The IV estimation with sibling fixed effects and the Regression Discontinuity estimation are also conducted as robustness tests and the results are consistent with the IV estimation results.
