Why do interventions involving enriched preschool education combined with home visits appear so effective?
Achieving the desired academic excellence is always a challenging process for most educational scholars. A combination of factors such as the varied learning needs of the students and lack of access to adequate learning resource often makes the realization of the desired learning objectives a difficult process. However, evidence shows that providing the learners with interventions that involve enriched preschool education in conjunction with home visits improve their learning outcomes significantly. The improved performance in this case occurs due to the influence of various factors. According to Galbraith (1990), learners have different methods of learning. Some of the learners learn best when in class while the other learns best when presented with practical situations alongside the incorporation of field trips such as home visits. As such, combining enriched preschool environment and home visits accommodate the varied needs of the learners, thereby, its effectiveness in promoting learning. Similarly, providing the students with enriched preschool education and home visits gives the simulated learning environment that excites their interests towards learning. The experience provides learners with the opportunities to relate the knowledge they acquire in the classroom in real life situation (Alessi & Trollip, 2001).
In addition, significant evidence has that incorporating the use of enriched preschool education, and home visits provide the learners with simulative environment that improves their learning by inducing specific changes in their brains. Such changes include improving the functioning and the development of the brain areas that perform activities related to cognitive capacity, memory, learning, and resilience. Depending on the nature of the exposure, changes such...
Moreover, changing the learning environment results in physiological changes that have a direct effect on the normal functioning of their brains, thereby, affecting their learning outcomes. Among such physiological changes, include metabolic allostasis, increased connectivity, and neurogenesis alongside brain growth factors. The combination shows significant impact on the learning and learning outcomes of the students, thereby, their effectiveness in learning (Barry, 2009).
Implications of social policy
Social policy has a significant effect on learning and the well-being of the learners. Adoption of the social policies contributes to the realization of the need for the protection of the learning environment of the students in the realization of their positive learning outcomes. Significant evidence reveals that the increasing need for the adoption of social policies has led to the creation of learning environments that provide equal learning opportunities to the students alongside eliminating barriers to education such as gender violence and poverty. Evidence presented by Lamy (2013) revealed that the social policy has contributed to the provision of opportunities to the educational stakeholders that meet their professional and personal needs. For instance, it has resulted in an increased need for the provision of training opportunities, teacher recognition, and better remuneration to those involved in the provision of educational opportunities to improve their performance and the learning outcomes. Significant relationship exists between social policy and adoption of institutional ethics that promote the realization of the designed learning objectives. For instance, social policy dictates the constituents of the right and wrong doing in the society, thereby, preventing the…
