Modeling the nonlinear relationship between structure and process quality features in Chinese preschool classrooms

Early Child Education (ECE) quality encompasses a complex, nonlinear system that includes both structural quality elements, like child-teacher ratio, as well as process quality features, such as teacher-child interactions. This study employed an artificial intelligence technology entitled Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) to model the nonlinear relationship between these ECE quality elements. Based on the Guangdong Preschool Rating and...
