Dr Yu Yue Publishes Research in Early Childhood Education and Goes on TV Interview

Dr Yu Yue, Research Scientist at NIE’s Centre for Research in Child Development (CRCD), has been conducting research into cognitive and social development in early childhood with his project “Understanding the role of caregiver-child pedagogical questioning in Singaporean children's school readiness and achievement”.

Based on the results from his project, Dr Yu has co-authored a paper with Dr Nirmala Karuppiah, Head (Education) at CRCD and Senior Lecturer at NIE’s Psychology and Child & Human Development Academic Group, and Mdm Renee Phee.

The paper was published in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education and is titled “Questioning during story-telling activities in Singapore pre-schools”. It advocates for questioning children during story-telling activities in order to develop and promote their thinking skills.

Additionally, based on his research, Dr Yu was interviewed by Channel 8’s Hello Singapore on “How to Foster Children’s Self-Control” （8频道《狮城有约》访谈: “如何培养儿童的自制力？” ）which was broadcast on 19 October 2020.
