The Developmental Domains Of By Demographic Factors Among Early Childhood

Abstract

The global sustainable development goals have identified early childhood development as key to changing the world by 2030. This study focuses on the five domains of early childhood development as well as determining the level of early childhood development domains through demographic factors. This study examines the early childhood development domains based on John Santrock's developmental task theory, and 400 valid data were collected from the city of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, China, using the whole cluster sampling method. The collected data were also subjected to data analysis methods such as independent samples T-test, ANOVA, and crosstable to determine the variability of early childhood development across demographic factors. The first finding of this study determined that only adaptive behaviour and socio-emotional development differed significantly by age of the toddler, while socio-emotional also differed significantly by gender of the toddler；Different levels of development in the domains of physical, adaptive behaviour, socio-emotional, and cognitive development differed significantly by age of the toddler, while the level of physical development differed significantly by gender of the toddler. The second finding is that there is a significant difference between the different levels of development in the domains of adaptive behaviour and socio-emotional development with respect to the mother's level of education, while there is a significant difference between the different levels of development in the domains of physical development. The third finding of this study is that there is a significant difference in only social-emotional and cognitive development with respect to family income. The fourth finding of this study was that there was no significant difference in the age of the parents in all five developmental domains and their levels of development.
