Abstract:
Pencil grip is an aspect of handwriting that has been addressed by occupational therapists who treat children with handwriting difficulties. However, there has been little research investigating the developmental progression of pencil grip in Taiwanese children. Without knowledge of normal development, therapists cannot justify a diagnosis of “unusual” or “bizarre” pencil grips. This study was designed to investigate the developmental progression in pencil grips in Taiwanese children. The subjects were 326 children aged 2.5 to 6.4 years. The type of grips each child used to perform a drawing task was videotaped. A developmental assessment of pencil grips compiled by Schneck and Henderson was used to rate children's grip positions. A developmental pregression was noted and 14 grip patterns were identified. About half of the 3- to 3.4-year old children were able to employ a mature grip when drawing in a 7.89 cm x7 cm box. By the age of 4, about three fourths of the children were able to use mature grips to draw. For children aged 5 years and older, the percentage increased to more than 90%. Comparison of the results with those of Schneck and Henderson (1990) suggests that Taiwanese children 3.5 to 5.9 years of age are more advanced than American children of the same age. In addition, the percentage of Taiwanese children using the lateral tripod is much higher than that of American children. Possible reasons for these differences are proposed. Implications for occupational therapy and suggestions for future studies are discussed.

Abstract:
In this research I investigated the views preschool educators in Taiwan on play and the role of play in the curriculum. Adopting a qualitative methodology, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 educators at preschools affiliated with elementary schools. The results indicate that preschool educators generally agree that, in addition to being a source of happiness for children, play also promotes learning and development. Thus play is seen as a meaningful learning activity which has a unique and valuable role in the preschool curriculum. However, the findings also indicate that participants need to give more attention to observing and understanding their children’s abilities, interests, and developmental stages, so as to adopt a suitable role in various types of play and find the optimal balance between play and structured learning.

Abstract:
Occupational aspirations have mainly been investigated with teenagers, high school students, and adults. Following Gottfredson's (1981, 2002) theory of circumscription and compromise, in which it is proposed that occupational aspirations originate in the preschool years, in this study the occupational aspirations of 1,044 preschool children in Taiwan were explored. Children who attended 38 kindergartens and were between the ages of 5 and 6, expressed their preferences about and gender orientations towards occupations and careers. In general, the occupations Taiwanese children said they most desired to pursue were teaching, being police officers, and working as doctors. Most children can recognize the occupations of their parents at this stage, and the results in this research show that children still identify strongly with their parents' stereotypical occupations. More boys than girls showed a preference for masculine-dominated occupations. More girls than boys showed a preference for nontraditional occupations. Factors that influence occupational aspirations were found to be parental identification and identifying with the role of teachers.

Abstract:
This paper aims to examine to what extent preschool Mandarin Chinese-speaking children can create an autonomous replica play narrative. Twenty-four Taiwanese children, 12 four-year-olds and 12 six-year-olds, participated in this study. The focus of investigation is on the linguistic resources (i.e., temporal and referential devices) the children use to maintain story lines and to mark shifts between types of talk in replica play. Developmental shifts are evident in these children's use of temporal and referential devices to build up a coherent play narrative. The four-year-olds exhibit a great difficulty sustaining their narrative talk, making use of temporal devices, and managing reference in their replica play. The six-year-olds, in comparison, use clearer reference and more temporal and causal connectives, but their ability to achieve autonomy in play narratives is limited. Developmental differences found in this study, in general, accord with crosslinguistic results.

Abstract:
This study examined the food acceptance behaviour of preschool children in Taiwan from their parents’ perspectives. The research explored food preferences and aversions of preschool children and how parents’ beliefs, concerns and coping strategies influenced their food acceptance behaviour. This qualitative study used in-depth interviews to obtain answers to the research questions. This appears to be the first study of its kind in Taiwan. The results of this research were represented in three ways: as themes and sub-themes, as narratives for two families, and as concept maps to show the relationship between themes and preschool children’s food acceptance behaviour. The major findings of this research are firstly, that children showed a wide range of food acceptance behaviours that are established early in life. Secondly, parents had a number of beliefs and concerns about the nature of the food acceptance behaviour of their preschool children. They described many factors that they believe affect their children’s eating behaviour including the influence of caregivers, parents themselves, siblings, grandparents, peers, the kindergarten teacher, the kindergarten cook, and the media. Thirdly, parents’ rearing styles influence the eating habits of preschool children. The thesis concludes by pointing to useful directions and recommendations for further research, education and policy around the issue of early childhood food acceptance behaviour.

Abstract:
This study investigated Taiwanese preschool teachers' awareness of cultural diversity of new immigrant children and how this awareness influences their educational practices. In particular, this study focused on the cultural awareness of preschool teachers who work with young Taiwanese children whose mothers are immigrants from Southeast Asia. This study used quantitative and qualitative methods. One hundred seventy-two Taiwanese preschool teachers from the different geographic areas of Taiwan participated in the study. Data were collected through the use of the Cultural Diversity Awareness Inventory (CDAI) survey and participant interviews. Research results of the study revealed: (a) most Taiwanese preschool teachers had an awareness of cultural diversity, but their perceptions of how to create a multicultural environment need to be improved; (b) Taiwanese preschool teachers' personal experiences with children from different cultures were more associated with their cultural awareness than their ages and educational levels; (c) Geographic location was the factor affecting preschool teachers' awareness of cultural diversity and educational practices. This study is informative to the understanding of Taiwanese preschool teachers' awareness of cultural diversity and the implications of this awareness for classroom practice. In addition, multicultural perspectives of the Taiwan society toward immigrant families and children can benefit from the findings of this study. Future research should include the cultural needs of new immigrant children and the implementation of practices for educating new immigrant children.

The purposes of this study were to monitor the nutritional status of preschool children aged 1-6 years old in Taiwan, to find food sources of deficient nutrients and to study the nutrient intakes of preschool children among caregiver’s with different education levels. The survey was carried out from Jan. 1997 to Feb. 1999. A multi-stage stratified sampling design was used. Taiwan were classified into 6 strata, which were Hakka areas, mountainous and east coast areas, island, metropolitan areas, provincial cities and class I townships, class II rural townships areas. Twenty-four hour dietary recalls were taken by trained interviewers. Mothers, preschool teachers and children themselves were required to recall foods eaten on the previous day of interview. The results showed that daily average caloric intake of Taiwanese preschool children was below the Recommended Daily Nutrient Allowances (RDNA), which was of 75% RDNA. Average daily protein intake of Taiwanese preschool children was 1.2~1.7 times of RDNA. Vitamins intake were higher than those of ten years ago. Calcium, Iron and zinc intakes were below RDNA, especially for zinc. The average Zinc intake only achieved 58% ~ 67% RDNA. Preschool children lived in Metropolitan had higher nutrients intakes than those who lived in other area. The higher educational levels of mothers and caregivers, the higher nutrient intakes of preschool children. Milk and vegetable consumption insufficiency were problems of four to six years old Taiwanese preschool children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate (a) preschool children’s English anxiety and parental expectations, (b) the impact of different background variables on English anxiety, (c) the relationship among parental expectations in young children’s English learning, English achievement, and English anxiety. The research subjects were 203 preschool children from three different English programs in Tainan and Kaohsiung city. The instruments included the English Anxiety Scale for Young Children, Parental English Expectation Questionnaire, and the Kindergarten International Tests of English, KITE test. This research was conducted using the purposive sampling method. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, and Pearson Correlation. The findings were summarized as follows: (a) The preschool children’s English anxiety was obviously low, and the result was consistent with the hypothesis stating that “The preschool children have low affective filter”. (b) Parents generally held a high expectation of their children’s English learning. (c) Preschool children with different ages and sexes revealed no significant differences on English anxiety levels. (d) The group of children whose parents would talk in English with them had a significantly lower level of English anxiety than the group whose parents would not talk in English with them. (e) There was a significant difference among different English-programmed groups in terms of their English anxiety levels. (f) Preschool children’s English anxiety was not correlated with their parents’ expectations of their English learning. (g) Parental expectations were positively correlated with children’s English achievement. (h) English anxiety was negatively correlated with English learning achievement.

Chapter 1 Background: Genetic factors have been shown to account for more than 50% of the variation in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. However, human genetic association studies have failed to show consistent associations, and altered expression of transcription factors has only been observed in animal studies. An emerging focus in the search for biomarkers of BPD has been on post-transcriptional regulator of messenger RNA translation such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Objective: This study aimed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in the peripheral blood of very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1,500 g) preterm infants with and without BPD. Methods: Blood samples from 15 VLBW preterm infants with BPD and from 15 sex-matched controls were collected in early postnatal life, and 365 miRNA expression profiles were assessed using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction system. Results: The BPD group was more likely than the non-BPD group to show increased expression of miR-133b and miR-7 and decreased expression of miR-152, miR-30a-3p, miR-650 and miR-624 (all p < 0.2). This 6-miRNA signature was highly predictive of the occurrence of BPD after controlling for the effects of confounders (accuracy = 0.995). Forty-one shared target genes were associated with the 6-miRNA signature, and seventeen of them were relevant to development-related functions and diseases. The Wnt/β-catenin and axon guidance signaling pathways were associated with the target genes (p < 0.05 for both). Conclusions: This 6-miRNA signature of peripheral blood might serve as a biomarker predictive of the occurrence of BPD in VLBW preterm infants. Chapter 2 Background: There has been limited epidemiologic information concerning non-Western preschoolers’ behavioral and emotional problems, and the data in Taiwanese preschoolers is lacking. Objective: This study aimed to investigate behavioral and emotional problems in a full-term population of Taiwanese preschoolers using the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1½-5 (CBCL/1½-5). The behavioral problems scores and prevalence of Taiwanese preschoolers were compared with those of American and Dutch preschoolers. The correlates of behavioral problems were also examined. Methods: Mothers of 306 Taiwanese preschoolers aged 20-60 months completed the CBCL/1½-5. The data of American and Dutch preschoolers were extracted from the previous studies and to compare with Taiwanese data. Results: The CBCL/1½-5 had satisfactory reliability and factorial validity for assessing Taiwanese preschoolers. Results of cross-cultural comparisons revealed that Taiwanese preschoolers exhibited higher behavioral problem scores on most of the behavioral syndromes and increased prevalence rates of internalizing-related syndromes and Sleep Problems. Younger age, male gender, and first birth order were unfavorable for behavioral performance. Girls’ behavioral problems decreased with age, whereas boys’ behavioral problems persistently high across ages. Conclusions: Results of cross-cultural comparisons and behavioral correlates are important to assist in clinical assessment and management of preschoolers’ behavioral and emotional problems.

Abstract:
Early childhood programs have been proliferating in Taiwan for the past decade due to the drastic changes in the society, and to public and professional concepts of child development. Children, today, are placed in non-maternal and academic-focused early childhood programs at a much younger age than previously. The current trend of so-called the earlier the better' in Taiwan raises issues about the effects of early formal schooling experiences on children's optimal development. However, very little is known about young children's early schooling experiences in Taiwan due to the lack of empirical studies. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives and experiences of Taiwanese mothers, children, teachers, and administrators regarding young children's early schooling involvement. Participants were recruited mainly from two preschools (one public and one private) in a west-central city of Taiwan. Research participants included 32 mothers, 10 young children, 3 teachers, and 3 administrators. A qualitative design with a phenomenological approach was used in the study to investigate the subjective experiences of the phenomenon. Data were collected by using focus groups and individual interviews. In addition, a content review was conducted to gain an overview of how young children's early schooling involvement was viewed by the parental advice literature in Taiwan. From the analysis of the data, the following five general themes emerged: children's development, mass media, social competition, differences between individuals and groups, and cultural change aspects. The specific meaning of each theme is illustrated, including similarities and differences amongst the participants. Finally, limitations, implications and future research directions are discussed.
