Abstract

This study examines the key factors influencing the effectiveness of labor education implementation in kindergartens. It assesses the influence of teacher participation, parental support, diversity of labor education content, and resource support on the effectiveness of labor education programs. Out of a pool of 50 kindergartens, 10 were shortlisted using a stratified random sampling approach to examine these factors. The study involved survey data from 356 kindergarten teachers and parents (210 teachers and 146 parents) from selected kindergartens in Inner Mongolia, China. Survey data were analyzed using regression models. The analysis results indicate that each factor has a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of labor education in kindergartens, highlighting the importance of a multidimensional approach. Optimization pathways can assist in providing direct guidance for labor education practices in Inner Mongolia’s kindergartens. The study proposes optimization pathways for enhancing teacher participation through targeted training support, strengthening family-kindergarten collaboration to foster a cohesive educational environment, enriching the diversity of educational content to provide a comprehensive learning experience, and improving resource support to ensure sufficient resources in programs. The findings also offer broader policy insights and practical references to improve labor education in other regions.
