Rao, N., Sun, J., & Zhang, L. (in press). Learning to Learn in early childhood: Home and preschool influences in Chinese learners. In C. Stringher, & R. Deakin (Eds.) Learning to learn for all: Theory, practice and international research. Abingdon, UK: Routledge.

This chapter considers how the attitudes and skills related to Learning to Learn are facilitated among Chinese learners in the home and preschool during the early years. First, it reviews research on early cognitive socialization focusing on studies which have considered how children’s Learning to Learn skills including behavioral regulation and problem-solving skills are promoted in Chinese families. Next, the role of preschool curricula and teachers’ practices on the development of skills related to Learning to Learn are considered. The chapter then discusses the ways in which experiences at home and in early childhood programs work together to promote Learning to Learn and achievement among young Chinese children.
