Supporting data for “Measuring Early Home Learning Environments in China”

This dataset contains the data collected for the dissertation “Measuring Early Home Learning Environments in China”. Chapter Six (Study Four) of this thesis aims to improve the home learning environment (HLE) measure in population-level surveys by developing and validating a comprehensive tool for assessing the HLE of preschool-aged children in the Chinese context. The study used a modified E-Delphi method to evaluate the content validity of an initial item pool assessing the HLE of Chinese preschool-aged children based on experts' judgment regarding each item's relevance, clarity, cultural and age appropriateness, and importance. Items that achieved consensus by experts were tested with Chinese caregiver-child dyads to examine the scale’s reliability and validity. This dataset includes data collected from two E-Delphi surveys and the parent survey. Sixteen Chinese and international experts participated in the two-round surveys. Thirty-three children and their parents participated in the pilot study in Guangdong, China. Data was collected from February to September 2023.

本数据集收录了为学位论文《衡量中国早期家庭教育环境》所收集的数据。论文第六章（研究四）旨在通过开发并验证一套综合评估工具，以提升在人口层面的调查中对幼儿家庭教育环境（HLE）的测量方法。研究采用改进的E-Delphi方法，对评估中国幼儿家庭教育环境的初始项目库进行内容效度评估，基于专家对每项内容的关联性、清晰度、文化适宜性和重要性进行判断。专家达成共识的项目，随后与中国的照顾者-儿童配对进行测试，以检验该量表的信度和效度。本数据集包括来自两次E-Delphi调查和父母调查收集的数据。十六位中国和国际专家参与了这两轮调查。在中国广东省进行的小型研究中，共有三十三名儿童及其父母参与。数据收集时间范围为2023年2月至9月。
