Interventions supporting early self-regulation: a systematic literature review
About the project:
This project will conduct a systematic review of self-regulation interventions for children up to eight years old. Self-regulation is foundational to academic achievement, emotional well-being, and physical and mental health. Strengthening self-regulation can reduce disparities in key areas of child development. Many teachers and early years practitioners lack knowledge about how to support children’s self-regulation, and this review will provide evidence to guide future interventions.
The project brings together the team:
- Dr. Antonia Zachariou, Principal Investigator, University of Limassol
- Dr Hale Ögel-Balaban, Research Associate based at the University of Cambridge
- Dr Sue Robson, Independent Expert Consultant on self-regulation topics.
Children aged 0–8 years; Teachers and early years practitioners; Policymakers and researchers in education and child development.
The project results are the following:
- Evidence synthesis on the effectiveness of self-regulation interventions
- Academic publications, briefing papers, and a public report
- Recommendations for teachers, practitioners, and policymakers
- Foundation for the potential design of a new intervention
