Abstract | The Infant Education Research Project was designed to facilitate the intellectual development of disadvantaged children through a program of home tutoring during the second and third years of life. An experimental group of 31 Negro male infants and a control group of 33 Negro male infants were selected from door-to-door surveys of two lower-socioeconomic neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Tutors visited the home of each experimental infant for an hour a day, five days a week, beginning when the infant reached 15 months of age and continuing through 36 months. Participation of the mother was encouraged but not required. Tutors were carefully selected and specially trained to make maximum use of teaching materials such as toys, books, music and rhythm, puzzles, games, and to provide children with the experiences of walks and excursions. Pleasant interpersonal relationships were encouraged and maintained at all levels of the project. Posttest gains confirm the success of the program for the experimental infants. However, it is suggested that tutoring should begin before 14 months of age. Four generalizations about the educational process in relation ot program development are also made. (WY) |
