Goals
"The aim of the proposed project is to examine, compare and test how socio-emotional learning practices and computer program-oriented practices in Swedish preschools affect children’s attention, social understanding, language and communication skills. These data are further correlated with “geographical socio-economic belonging” and the sex of the child."
