Keywords:
early childhood, participation, executive functionsAbstract
This Participatory Action Research (PAR) aimed to develop and evaluate models to promote executive functions of early childhood with participation of families and communities in Roi Et Province. The participants consisted of 50 people who were in early childhood, parents, teachers, community leaders, public health officers and village health volunteers. They were selected by purposive sampling. The study was conducted by using self- efficacy and parent practices on the promotion of executive functions with early childhood questionnaires, knowledge tests, the MU-EF101 form for preschool-aged
children, participant observation, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. The quantitative data was analyzed by descriptive and paired t-test statistics. The qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis.
The results showed that 38.78 percent of the executive functions of early childhood were at the low level. Parent practices on the promotion of executive functions with early childhood were at the low level at 38.73 percent. The models to promote executive functions of early childhood with participation of families and communities consisted of six activities which were informed by participation of developing network partners. As a result, parents gained knowledge of self-efficacy and practices to promote executive functions with early childhood individuals Moreover, executive functions among early childhood were statistically significantly higher than before using the model (p < .05). Consequently, parents and network partners should provide continuous monitoring and promote executive functions of early childhood appropriately.
