Analysis on the Family Participation Model and Effect of Agricultural Research and Study Activities for Preschool Children

Abstract

Agricultural research and study activities provide a unique opportunity to engage preschool children in hands-on learning experiences that enhance their cognitive, social, and motor skills. This study analyzes the family participation model in such activities and its impact on the developmental progress of preschoolers. Through qualitative and quantitative assessments, we explore the role of parental involvement in fostering curiosity, environmental awareness, and foundational agricultural knowledge. Our findings indicate that structured family participation significantly improves children's engagement and learning outcomes, emphasizing the necessity for integrated agricultural education programs at the preschool level. The Family Participation Model plays a crucial role in early childhood education, especially in agricultural research and study activities. This model integrates parents, caregivers, and communities into children's learning experiences, fostering hands-on engagement, intergenerational knowledge transfer, and experiential learning. This paper explores the structure of the Family Participation Model, its implementation in agricultural education, and its impact on preschool children's cognitive, social, and environmental awareness. The findings highlight how active family involvement enhances children's learning, strengthens community ties, and promotes sustainable agricultural practices from an early age.
