    Aftershocks of Chile's Earthquake for an Ongoing, Large-Scale Experimental Evaluation
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2011) Moreno, Lorenzo; Trevino, Ernesto; Yoshikawa, Hirokazu; Mendive, Susana; Reyes, Joaquin; Godoy, Felipe; Del Rio, Francisca; Snow, Catherine; Leyva, Diana; Barata, Clara; Arbour, MaryCatherine; Rolla, Andrea
    Evaluation designs for social programs are developed assuming minimal or no disruption from external shocks, such as natural disasters. This is because extremely rare shocks may not make it worthwhile to account for them in the design. Among extreme shocks is the 2010 Chile earthquake. Un Buen Comienzo (UBC), an ongoing early childhood program in Chile, was directly affected by the earthquake. This article discusses (a) the factors the UBC team considered for deciding whether to put on hold or continue implementation and data collection for this experimental study; and (b) how the team reached consensus on those decisions. A lesson learned is that the use of an experimental design for UBC insured that the evaluation's internal validity was not compromised by the earthquake's consequences, although cohort comparisons were compromised. Other lessons can be transferred to other contexts where external shocks affect an ongoing experimental or quasi-experimental impact evaluation.

    ¿Cómo enseñar a enseñar lenguaje?: prácticas esenciales para la formación inicial de educadoras de párvulos
    (2021) Louzano, Paula; Lagos, Claudia; Meneses, Alejandra; Strasser, Katherine; Barraz, Gabriela; Mendive, Susana; Villallón, Malva; Bertoglio, Marcela; Romero, Silvia; Concha, Soledad; Manrique, María Soledad; Rosemberg, Celia; Rolla, Andrea, Orellana, Pelusa; Rolla, Andrea; Meneses, Alejandra; Concha, Soledad; Levy, Denise; Castro, Trinidad
    Este libro se centra en la enseñanza del lenguaje en la formación inicial de educadoras y educadores de párvulos. Se trata de una problemática que se inscribe en el desafío más amplio de mejorar la calidad de la formación inicial docente tanto en nuestro país como en Latinoamérica.Fruto de la colaboración entre instituciones formadoras, se proponen contenidos y metodologías para enseñar a implementar en el aula prácticas que la evidencia ha reconocido como esenciales para el desarrollo del lenguaje y la alfabetización inicial. Una cuestión clave es que estas prácticas exigen una adaptación reflexiva a la luz de conocimientos disciplinarios y pedagógicos-disciplinarios sobre niños y niñas y sobre cada contexto, un tipo de razonamiento docente que debe desarrollarse en el marco de la formación inicial.En suma, este libro invita a la comunidad nacional y regional a involucrarse en la formación inicial basada en la práctica y enfocada en la puesta en acto reflexiva de prácticas esenciales que pueden tener efectos duraderos sobre las próximas generaciones.

    Enriching cross-sectoral collaboration to foster inclusive cultures in schools: a Model to address the needs of diverse Chilean Students
    (2024) Vidal, Veronica; Mendive, Susana; Gómez Zaccarelli, Florencia; Pozo-Tapia, Francisca; Narea, Marigen; Wachholtz, Daniela; Melo, Carolina
    Inclusive education involves the interaction of diverse actors from different societal sectors, such as education, health, and policy. Inclusion laws and regulations in Chile are relatively new and have been taken as a regional model. However, the efforts to implement them have revealed some structural difficulties that must be discussed. This conceptual analysis article aims to provide insights to enrich cross-sectoral collaboration to foster inclusive cultures in Chilean schools. Considering the OECD Analytical Framework, which describes a systemic approach, we provide definitions for the critical components of the model and discuss the advances and challenges of current Chilean public policies in this field -including the Chile Crece Contigo and the School Integration Programs (SIP)-, the Chilean education system functioning, the social contexts, and students' needs and supports based on the available evidence. Building from inclusive education literature and previous experiences, we delve into the model to address the needs of students with disabilities, social and cultural disadvantages, students belonging to the indigenous population, and students with a low socioeconomic level to propose action guidelines with a particular focus on integrating inclusive practices at the school level.

    Home Language and Literacy Environments and Early Literacy Trajectories of Low-Socioeconomic Status Chilean Children
    (WILEY, 2020) Mendive, Susana; Mascareno Lara, Mayra; Aldoney, Daniela; Perez, J. Carola; Pezoa, Jose P.
    This study used Latent Class Analysis to identify groups of children exposed to similar Home Language and Literacy Environments (HLLE) and explored whether belonging to a given HLLE group was related to children's language and early literacy growth from prekindergarten to kindergarten. Participants were 1,425 Chilean mothers and their children (M-age = 52.52 months at baseline) from low-socioeconomic status households. Four HLLE groups were identified, which were associated with different trajectories of language and early literacy development. Children from groups whose mothers either read and talk about past events with them or teach them letters in addition to reading and talking about past events, showed higher relative vocabulary and letter knowledge. Implications for research and interventions are discussed.

    Home language and literacy environments at the age of four: determinants and their relation to reading comprehension up to age nine (Ambientes de lenguaje y alfabetizacion inicial en el hogar a los cuatro anos: determinantes y relacion con comprension lectora hasta los nueve anos)
    (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022) Mendive, Susana; Aldoney, Daniela; Mascareno, Mayra; Pezoa, Jose; Hoff, Erika
    This study determines (a) which factors of the parenting context, the child and their mothers are associated with environments that differ in their home literacy environment in a Chilean low-SES sample of 53-month-old children, and (b) whether reading comprehension at second and fourth grade is predicted by the socialization in the literacy environment. First, it found that the factors of maternal educational level and cognitions and the child's task orientation and prosocial behaviour are related to the type of home literacy environment. Likewise, it found that the type of literacy environment predicts reading comprehension at age seven, with a major difference of one standard deviation between the two types of literacy environments. A similar distribution was found at age nine. This article discusses the implications of these results in informing early interventions in disadvantaged socioeconomic levels.
