Full textAbstract:
Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of in-service education designed to improve early childhood teachers’ environmental awareness, knowledge, attitudes and their skills on integrating environmental issues in their teaching. Thirty early childhood teachers in the treatment group and Thirty in the control group participated the study. Teachers in the control group did not attain in-service education. Teachers responded to the Environmental Problems Attitude Scale (EPAS) before and after the in-service education. After the education process, teachers in the treatment group provided qualitative data about the impact of this education. For the treatment group the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significant increase from pretest to posttest. Mann-Whitney U did not indicate a significant increase for the control group. Three major themes derived from qualitative data. These are an increase in environmental awareness, an increase in individual responsibility and taking action, as well as increased motivation and being better equippedfor environmental education.

Full textAbstract:
Early childhood education is crucial for the development of young children’s understanding of the natural world. Children have a role in sustaining a viable environmental and social future. This research interrogated key ideas concerning STEM education for sustainable development, drawing on seminal research and a range of government policy documents to formulate a futures-oriented approach to supporting children to build understandings in early childhood sustainability. Through the use of ethnography, a research methodology that uses both participation and observation of research participants, it became apparent that young children’s play-based learning enabled agentic responses in aligning with early understanding of STEM and sustainability. Using accepted descriptors of international Sustainable Development Goals within an early childhood research study, the research highlights how the development of interactive, learner-centred STEM teaching not only enables investigative, action-adapted learning, but also fosters independent learners who are responsive to their natural environment. The implication of this research is that further development of children’s environmental agency is suggested by the authors. The introduction of a whole-of-kindergarten approach that focuses on the systemic development of quality STEM education is posited as an avenue for educators to build young children’s understandings of sustainable development.

Objectives This study applied Korean university’s early childhood movement class to Uzbekistan pre-service early childhood teachers and analyzed the student’s participation and the contents of the movements class planned by the students.
Methods This study applied the classes for 15 weeks from March 2021, targeting 90 Uzbekistan students of the Department of Early Childhood Education at the Korea International University in Ferghana (KIUF) and analyzed the experiences of students based on the collected data.
Results At first, the students obsessed with something to teach young children). However they gradually applied what they had learned, and led the class in a free and permissive atmoshpere. In the participation process, There were positive emotional changes such as joy, passion, and sense of accomplishment. The contents of the motion activity simulation class actively used various teaching aids. However, There was a lack of consideration for the systematic planning process and safety.
Conclusions Cultivating the pre-service early childhood teachers who learned Korean early childhood curriculum seems to enable to nurture experts in early childhood education in Uzbekistan. In addition, as it is possible to apply the Korean Nuri Curriculum, it is expected that high-quality early childhood education will be practiced in the field of early childhood education in Uzbekistan. Furthermore, it will contribute to Uzbekistan’s early childhood education by delivering Korea’s early childhood education to Uzbekistan’s early childhood education.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching practice and perceptions of distance learning among early childhood education instructors who have implemented online-based distance learning due to COVID-19. For this purpose, 139 instructors who taught early childhood education courses participated an online survey. The collected data were analyzed by frequency and percentage.
The results of this study are as follows. First, about 76% of early childhood education instructors had no experience of distance learning before COVID-19, and the training experience of distance learning was high at about 82%. The early childhood education instructors utilized the combination of real-time interactive classes and video content classes the most, and the frequency of using materials developed by them was high. Second, the early childhood education instructors recognized that the combination of real-time interactive classes and video content classes was the most effective and perceived the effect of non-face-to-face classes and face-to-face classes to be different, and a main reason of the difference was in the interaction between instructors and learners. As the advantages of distance learning, more than 90% of the instructors chose no time and space constraints and convenience due to non-contact. In order to increase the effectiveness of distance learning, they recognized that various improvements were needed, and among them, strengthening learners’ participation was the most necessary. More than 70% of the instructors answered that they are willing to continue at least some of the distance learning after COVID-19. For high-quality distance learning, they perceived that the instructors should develop interaction skills with learners and competencies related to distance learning, while universities should support instructors’ competencies for distance learning and make technical improvements. These results suggest the need to prepare a support system that reinforce instructor’s competencies for distance learning.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses the teaching-learning process seen from the humanistic education theory from Carl Ransom Rogers at Asmaul Husna Learning Park, South Jakarta. This paper focuses on the educational perspective's operation through fun learning techniques, integrated learning, and thematic learning. In this paper, the data sources are obtained through field observations and structured interviews from January to July 2019 using the case study method. Through the humanistic educational theory approach, this educational study is the importance of understanding the character and potential of early childhood to optimally develop children intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligence. Although sometimes some students are disobedient or lazy to take part in learning, teachers and institutional managers anticipate this by presenting information about child development. Even to a certain extent, the institution also includes parents to participate in learning activities together. Here is also the importance of a teacher's creativity in communicating, choosing parenting styles, and various other stimulations when carrying out the teaching and learning process in class and outside the classroom. Without teachers' creativity in teaching and learning, the improvement and enhancement of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects will not be optimal. An educational perspective places the humanization aspect as the basis for transferring knowledge, transferring human values, and transferring happiness.

Objectives The purposes of this study were to explore the understanding of the Nuri Curriculum and experiences in the curriculum integration activities in the play-centered teaching demonstration of pre-service early childhood teachers. Methods The participants in this study were 20 pre-service early childhood teachers who attended early childhood teacher education courses at K University in Gyeonggi. The research data were collected three times and qualitatively analyzed the reflective journals on the experiences while performing play-centered activities in connection with the Nuri course in the teaching demonstration process. Results The results of the study are that first, pre-service early childhood teachers tried to understand the Nuri Curriculum for early childhood play-centered classes, to integrate it with the subject, and to find the educational meaning. Second, it was found that pre-service early childhood teachers, as supporters of early childhood play, organize and implement activities in the course of teaching demonstrations, develop reflective thinking skills, and improve their professionalism as cooperators for child-led play support. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it was discussed how to improve the understanding of the Nuri Curriculum and the professionalism of the integrated curriculum.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Planet Earth is plagued by a myriad of problems which have been on the increase in recent years. These include, among other things, e–waste; reduction in biodiversity, air pollution, global warming and many more. Undoubtedly, the greed of human beings more than the quest to satisfy needs has been at the core of these problems which threaten the sustainability of earth’s ecosystems. For some years now, Environmental Education (EE) has been acknowledged and, consequently, employed as the vehicle to offset the impact of the challenges which continue to degrade Planet Earth. Hence, many levels of education, especially formal education; have been making some inroads towards empowering people to change their behaviour and help others through the integration of EE in learning and teaching activities. Unfortunately, the early childhood stage of human development has been neglected when it comes to education issues, in general (Calman and Tarr–Whelan 2005; Davis 1998), and in the context of this study, in issues concerning Environmental Education (Davis 2009). For example, Davis (2009) conducted a literature survey for the period 1996 – 2007 with a focus on environmental education/education for sustainability and childhood education and discovered that little research had been conducted in this area. Hence, she laments, “in general, early childhood education researchers have not engaged with environmental/sustainability issues, and environmental education researchers have not focused on very young children and educational settings” (Davis 2009: 229). Accordingly, this study was undertaken in response to Davis’s (2009) outcry and the realisation that, indeed, even in the context of South Africa, there is paucity of research in the areas identified by Davis (2009). The purpose of this qualitative–interpretive paradigm guided inquiry was to investigate the extent to which Environmental Education is integrated in Grade R teaching and learning activities at selected Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centres in the North West Province of South Africa. In order to gain in–depth information and multiple perspectives (Creswell 2007) on the subject of inquiry, the maximum variation strategy, a subtype of purposeful sampling (McMillan and Schumacher 1997) was used for case selection.Consequently, four Grade R offering ECD centres with diverse characteristics participated in this inquiry. From each of the selected centres, one Grade R classroom was selected for investigation. Likewise, the Grade R teachers whose classes were selected together with their principals participated in the investigation. Three data generation strategies were used in this inquiry, namely; participant observations, semi–structured interviews, and document and artefact analysis. And, in order to assign meaning to generated data, two data analysis strategies were utilized, namely; constant comparison (Leech and Onwuegbuzie 2007) and domain analysis (Neuman 2011). Evidence from this study suggests that, to a very limited extent, some Grade R teachers do integrate environmental issues in their activities. However, this infusion of EE is done, mainly, in the form of teaching about the environment with little or no teaching in/through and for the environment. Hence, viewed from Kopelke’s (2012) perspective, this integration of environmental issues can be considered to be environmental studies. Likewise, hindrances to the integration of EE in selected Grade R classes were identified. These included the following: classroom overcrowding, underfunding, inadequate teacher training and lack of resources. On the other hand, the following were some of the factors identified as enablers of EE infusion: collaboration among the Grade R teachers, well–designed Learning and Teaching Support Material (LTSM) and, enabling curriculum frameworks. The study makes the following recommendations, among other things: the prioritisation of Grade R teacher training and remuneration, on–going and meaningful professional support for Grade R teachers, adherence to the norms and standards for Grade R funding and empowerment of School Management Teams and Senior Education Specialists to adequately support the Grade R teachers. Additionally, studies of similar nature are recommended and the study is rounded off with some guidelines on the integration of EE in Grade R.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Planeet Aarde word deur ontelbare probleme wat in die afgelope jare verhoog geteister. Hierdie probleme sluit in, onder andere, e–afval, vermindering van biodiversiteit, lugbesoedeling, aardverwarming en nog meer. Sonder twyfel word die gulsigheid van die mens liewer as die voorsiening van behoeftes as die kern van hierdie probleme, wat die volhoubaarheid van die aarde se ekosisteme bedreig, beskou. Vir ’n paar jaar word Omgewingsopvoeding (OO) erken en gevolglik gebruik om die effek van die voortdurende uitdagings om Planeet Aarde te degradeer en te neutraliseer. Gevolglik het baie vlakke van onderwys, veral formele onderwys; deur die integrasie van Omgewingsopvoeding in leer= en onderrigaktieiteite vordering t.o.v die bemagtiging van mense gemaak om sodoende hul gedrag te verander en ander mense in die proses te help. Ongelukkig word die vroeë kinderfasee van menslike ontwikkeling in die algemeen, verwaarlos waneer dit by onderwyskwessies kom (Calman en Tarr–Whelan 2005; Davis 1998), en veral in die konteks van hierdie studie, spesifiek die kwessies van Omgewingsopvoeding(Davis, 2009). Davis (2009) het ’n literatuuroorsig vir die tydperk 1996 – 2007 met die fokus op omgewings /opvoeding vir volhoubaarheid in kinderonderwys gedoen, en ontdek dat baie min navorsing in hierdie gebied gedoen is. Dus betreur sy die feit dat “in die algemeen navorsers in vroeë kinderonderwys nie die kwessies van volhoubaarheid aangeraak het nie en die navorsers in omgewingsopvoeding nie op baie jong kinders en hulle opvoedkundige kontekste gefokus het nie” (Davis 2009: 229). Gevolglik is hierdie studie onderneem in respons op Davis (2009) se verweer en ook die besef dat, inderdaad; selfs in die konteks van Suid–Afrika, daar ‘n gebrek aan navorsing in die areas wat deur Davis (2009) geidentifiseer is bestaan. Die doel van hierdie kwalitatiewe–interpretatiewe ondersoek is om die mate waarin omgewingsopvoeding, in Graad R–onderrig en leeraktiwiteite by Vroeëkindontwikkeling (VKO) sentrums in die Noordwes Provinsie van Suid–Afrika geintegeer is, te ondersoek. Ten einde, in–diepte inligting en veelvuldige perspektiewe (Creswell 2007) oor die onderwerp van ondersoek te verwerf, is die maksimum variasie–strategie (McMillan and Schumacher 1997), wat ‘n sub–kategorie van doelgerigte steekproewe is as keuse vir hierdie gevallestudie gebruik. Gevolglik is vier VKO–sentrums, met uiteenlopende kenmerke, wat Graad R aanbied by hierdie ondersoek betrek. Uit elke gekose sentrum is een Graad R–klaskamer vir ondersoek gekies. Terselfdetyd het die Graad R–onderwysers van die gekose klasse en hul skoolhoofde aan die ondersoek deelgeneem. Drie strategiee is gebruik om data in hierdie ondersoek te genereer naamlik; deelnemer–waarneming, semi–gestruktureerde onderhoude en die analise van dokumente en artefakte. Twee strategiee is gebruik om data te analiseer en betekenis daaraan te gee, naamlik; konstant–vergelykings (Leech and Onwuegbuzie 2007) en domein– analise (Neuman 2011). Bewyse uit hierdie studie dui daarop dat, sekere Graad R–onderwysers tot ’n baie beperkte mate, omgewingskwessies in hul aktiwiteite integreer. Hierdie integrasie van omgewingsopvoeding sluit hoofsaaklik onderrig oor die omgewing in met min of geen onderrig of/deur en vir die omgewing. Dus, vanuit Kopelke (2012) se perspektief, kan hierdie integrasie van omgewings–kwessies in aanmerking geneem word by omgewingsstudies. Daarbenewens is ook, hindernisse tot die integrasie van OO in gekoste Graad R–klase identifiseer. Dit sluit die volgende in: oorbevolkte klaskamers, swakbefondsing, onvoldoende opleiding van onderwysers en ’n gebrek aan hulpbronne. Andersyds is die volgende faktore identifiseer as geleenthede wat die integrasie van OO kan bevorder: samewerking tussen die Graad R–onderwysers, goed ontwerpte Leer en Onderrig Ondersteuning Materiaal (LOOM) en bemagtigende kurrikulumraamwerke. Die studie maak onder andere die volgende aanbevelings: die prioritisering van Graad R–onderwyser- opleiding, deurlopende en betekenisvolle professionele ondersteuning aan Graad R–onderwysers, voldoening aan die norme en standaarde vir Graad R–befondsing, en die bemagtiging van Skoolbestuurspanne en Senior Onderwys–spesialiste tot die effektiewe ondersteuning van Graad R–onderwysers. Daarbenewens word, studies van soortgelyke aard aanbeveel en word die studie met ’n paar riglyne oor die integrasie van OO in Graad R afgerond.

Full textAbstract:
This case study considers the relationship between context, school policy and environmental teaching and learning processes at a community-based early childhood development centre in South Africa. The study recognises that educational practices in the early childhood development field are shaped by historical, cultural, economic and political realities at both local and national levels. It is from the understanding that each school is a unique composition of these shaping factors that the research was designed to consider the community-based school participating in this study. By compiling a contextual profile, this study attempts to consider dominant contextual factors affecting the school. Through the critical discourse analysis of a school policy document, this study considers local level policy, and through the literature chapter, national policy. Teacher interviews provide insight into teacher understanding of school policy in response to contextual issues, as well as providing insight into how teachers perceive their translation of policy into teaching practice. Observations of lessons in the centre provided an. opportunity to see how context and policy translated into and influenced environmental teaching and learning processes. This study looks at how environmental education is addressed in the Raglan Road Child Care Centre, and provides insight into how environmental education within the context of the school and in relation to school policy may be strengthened. It comments on the tensions and ambivalences arising from the relationships between context, policy and environmental teaching and learning processes and makes recommendations to address these ambivalences in ways that are contextually relevant. The main recommendations were designed to be practically useful for the school involved in the study and are focused around engaging the ambivalences emerging from this study to open up 'spaces' for deliberating environmental teaching and learning processes and other tensions arising out of the study at an ECD level. Recommendations included: 1) engaging with the strong development focus in school policy and the educational focus in national policy and teacher discourse; 2) deliberating the ways in which school policy and national policy respond to risk; 3) engaging with the ambivalence in the school-parent relationship; 4) the re-alignment of the explicit curriculum and broadening the contextually-based view of whole child development; and 5) engaging the ambivalence in approaches to education at the centre.

Full textAbstract:
Studies indicate the importance of supporting children's creative and social skills during the early years of their development, in part because children can develop low self-esteem when these skills are left unattended in preschool environments. However, as of yet research has not identified strategies preschool instructors used to prepare preschool environments to nurture the development of these skills. This qualitative case study examined how preschool environments nurture the development of preschool children's creative skills and relationships. Grounded in Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and Torrance's theory of guiding creative talent, the study used a purposeful sample of 9 prekindergarten and kindergarten teachers from 5 private preschools. Data were collected from 3 sources: (a) interviews, (b) online websites and school documents, and (c) student artifacts. Data analysis identified related themes, categories, terms, and key phrases using an adapted rubric, and open, axial, and selective coding. Findings showed that preschool environments applied 18 strategies to nurture the development of relationships and creative skills in preschool children. These themes included participation, establishing trust, acceptance/self-awareness, dramatic play, collaborative play, organization, open-ended materials, observation, creativity enhancing curricula, children's transitional processes, encouraging social skills, language application, understanding children's culture, cooperative learning, children's self-concept, teachers' pedagogy, nurturing creativity and preparatory exercises. The study has a positive social impact by providing preschool teachers and administrators with a framework for preparing environments that not only promote academic achievement but also to use to nurture preschool children's creative and social-skills development.

Full textAbstract:
The problem at an elementary school is teachers' lack of knowledge and information on the perceptions and motivation of students to complete independent mathematics homework. The purpose of this study was to identify students' perceptions regarding their homework environment and academic motivation in mathematics. The study's conceptual framework, attribution theory, supported the examination of drivers of motivation for participants related to homework completion. Guiding research questions, supported by Keller's ARCS model, focused on the identification of students' perceptions of homework attention, relevance, curiosity, satisfaction, and their preferred homework environment. This qualitative research study obtained data from semistructured interviews with 44 fourth-grade participants. Data were analyzed using constant comparative analysis to identify motivational drivers of homework completion and students' preferred environment. Findings showed 48% of students preferred a traditional home environment, while 43% of students preferred a study hall environment. Despite these slight differences, students desired environmental conditions that were comfortable, offered resources, had teacher or other adult availability, and provided timely feedback as the primary motivational drivers of homework completion. The project, a white paper, should generate dialogue about understanding students' perceptions about motivation and homework. A proposed homework guide should be used to provide academic support, constructive feedback, and ways to create an environment that supports students' learning needs and work habits. This study may support social change within the community by creating awareness and action to improve student mathematics motivation.

Acompanha: Formação e assimilação de conceitos científicos com abordagem da educação ambiental na educação intantilEsta dissertação teve origem na inquietação sobre o ensino de ciências na Educação Infantil. Apresenta considerações sobre a forma como as crianças constroem significados sobre os conhecimentos científicos, partindo da realidade do ambiente onde vivem, enfatizando a observação e percepção desse espaço. Trata- se de uma pesquisa qualitativa; a concepção de pesquisa utilizada é a investigação- ação, para que os docentes reflitam sobre sua prática com o objetivo de transformá- la. O conjunto de atividades analisadas envolve quatro projetos didáticos (PD) e três sequências didáticas (SD), baseados nos fundamentos da teoria da aprendizagem significativa, considerando as proposições de David Ausubel e colaboradores, e de formação de cultura científica com enfoque na Educação Ambiental crítica. Os dados da pesquisa foram constituídos por meio de: gravações de áudio e vídeo; registros escritos em diário de campo; produção de texto com destino escrito; desenhos e textos elaborados pelas crianças (tentativas de escrita). A análise de dados foi realizada considerando pressupostos e características de Análise de Conteúdo. Os dados analisados permitem propor que a criança aprende por recepção e por descoberta, sendo capaz de formar e assimilar conceitos, com a criação de subsunçores necessários para cada nova aprendizagem. Como produto desta pesquisa foi elaborado um blog, que apresenta subsídios para futuros planejamentos na área de formação humana: Relações Naturais. O blog, por ser um ambiente virtual e interativo, propiciou novas discussões envolvendo o caráter pedagógico do planejamento conjunto, com a participação do gestor, em uma prática pedagógica compartilhada, viabilizando diferentes experiências e vivências para as crianças.

It shows a how the children construct the meaning of scientific knowledge starting from environmental reality they live, emphasizing the observation and the perception of this environment. It is a qualitative research and the conception of research utilized is the investigation so that the teenagers reflect on your practice with the goal to transform it. The set of activities made have been four didactic projects (DP, or PD in portuguese) and the didactic sequences (DS, SD in portuguese), based on learning theory fundamentals of the meaning, considering the David Ausubel's propositions and collaborators and the scientific culture focused on critical environmental education. The data analysis obtained throughout the instruments utilizes to take them like: audio records, written records on the field notes, text productions, draws and text made by children (attempt to write) conducted to realize the children learn by reception and discovering, able to form and assimilate concepts when create new relevant conceptions to use in cognitive structure a cognitive bridge for new learning. As result of this research was elaborate a blog, that was based on this research and could be used as subsidy for future planning in the area of human development: Natural relationships, to be a virtual environment and interactive, auspicious for new discussions in pedagogical character of planning together with manager participation with shared pedagogical practice which provided different experiences and experiences for children effecting meaningful learning.

This study examines the behavior and actions of one music and movement teacher, coupled with a look at one little boy's participation and reactions. It focuses on the following questions: What music and movement activities create opportunities for social, motor, cognitive, and language development? In what ways would a child having difficulty in the classroom respond to the teacher and activities in a music and movement enrichment program? What teacher qualities make a positive impact on the child's behavior and development? The study showed that the music and movement activities promoted positive experiences for the subject. It also found that the skillfulness of the teacher was one of the most important factors in the successful music and movement program. The study led to several recommendations including the following: ECE teachers need support, education, and resources; classes should be small; and young children need to music and movement to maximize development.

AbstractInternationally there is growing interest in how young children engage with and learn concepts of science and sustainability in their everyday lives. These concepts are often built through nature and outdoor play in young children. Through the dialectical concept of everyday and scientific concept formation (Vygotsky LS, The collected works of L.S. Vygotsky. Problems of general psychology, V.1, (Trans. N Minick). Editor of English Translation, RW Rieber, and AS Carton, New York: Kluwer Academic and Plenum Publishers, 1987), this chapter presents a study of how families transformatively draw attention to STEM and sustainability concepts in the everyday practices of the home. The research followed a focus child (4–5 year old) from four families as they navigated everyday life and talked about the environments in which they live. Australia as a culturally diverse community was reflected in the families, whose heritage originated in Europe, Iran, India, Nepal and Taiwan. The study identified the multiple ways in which families introduce practices and conceptualise imagined futures and revisioning (Payne PG, J HAIA 12:2–12, 2005a). About looking after their environment. It was found that young children appear to develop concepts of STEM, but also build agency in exploration, with many of these explorations taking place in outdoor settings. We conceptualise this as a motive orientation to caring for the environment, named as E-STEM. The study emphasises for education to begin with identifying family practices and children’s explorations, as a key informant for building relevant and locally driven pedagogical practices to support environmental learning.

AbstractThis chapter reports on research that is foundational to much of the work carried out by the members of the network responsible for this volume (Wallerstedt, Brooks, Ødegaard & Pramling, this volume). The aim of the two studies I will discuss here was to determine whether a metacognitive approach to children’s learning supported children’s sensemaking in preschool. Four preschools were followed, of which two received feedback on their metacognitive dialogues with children from the researcher and two were followed with no feedback, serving as the comparison group. A replication with more groups and teachers was later conducted, with similar results. The development approach consisted of teachers and researchers meeting regularly to jointly discuss the approach to teaching and the content to work with. The content was based on earlier research on how children make sense of different phenomena and content areas. The researchers visited the participating preschools and video-recorded when the teachers carried out activities with children. Afterwards, the recordings were discussed with the teachers. The participants also met once a month to discuss central questions. What development research means in this case will be discussed, as will what contributions the studies made to research (theory) and the development of pedagogy (preschool). There is also a parallel process between teachers and children that will be highlighted. Perhaps one can see this kind of developmental study as the first step towards praxis-oriented research.

AbstractSámi teacher education programs are core programs at the Sámi University of Applied Sciences, and have been since the establishment of the institution. Sámi teacher education programmes involve flexible teaching methods including online teaching, teaching at gatherings and through practicum periods at early childhood centres and primary schools. The aim of this chapter is to discuss Sámi teacher education as Indigenous higher education, in order to explore the cornerstones of Sámi teacher education. The method used in the present study combines content analyses and a narrative approach. Content analysis is a research tool used to analyse the official documents for teacher education programmes and programme syllabi at Sámi University of Applied Sciences. The narrative approach was selected in order to use personal experiences from Sámi teacher education. As an analytical tool the model of Madden’s (2015) pedagogical pathways in Indigenous teacher education were used. The pathways are learning from traditional Indigenous modes of teaching, pedagogy for decolonizing, Indigenous and antiracist education, and Indigenous and placed-based education. Traditions, traditional knowledge and traditional models of teaching, together with language, are central in Sámi teacher education. Sámi teacher education could also be viewed in connection to placed-based education. Decolonizing is part of the educators’ work to transform and implement traditional knowledge and culture-based teaching perspectives, and in educators’ work to deconstruct culture, history and Indigenous identity. The term “colonial” is not used explicitly. However even if the term is not present, colonialism is indirectly visible. The antiracist education is less visible. All the pathways are visible in Sámi teacher education, but to visualise in Sámi teacher education the cornerstones, the metaphor of the lávvu and three caggi, or poles, is used and the caggit are, in the Sámi language, árbediehtu, and girjás searvelatnja.

Outstanding advances in educational technology are significantly influencing new learning environments, where it is necessary for teachers to respond and for learners to be able to adapt to the modern age of knowledge and information dissemination. The development of ICT has catalyzed the ability of all types of data to be reproduced visually (visualization). The term visualization refers to the use of various visual aids, which makes a subject more eloquent. This is especially useful for teaching a variety of special courses (environmental education), geography (maps, atlases), history (historical maps, atlases). Geography is a comprehensive and one of the most demanding subjects, as its study deals with a variety of different topics. This course can be made more effective and produce more permanent results through the use of innovative tools. One of these tools is information. In the context of the present study, the use of infographics, a pioneering visual tool transformed into a reliable teaching tool-guide in the classroom, is presented.

This chapter discusses the findings of an ethnographic case study investigating the implementation of mobile learning at an early childhood centre in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. The study describes how mobile technology is being used to support children's learning and communication. The findings show that the devices are an integral part of the learning culture of the centre. The devices are being used to actively engage children in the learning environment and support teaching inquiry. As one of the early studies to investigate how mobile technology is being used in early childhood education, the current study provides pedagogically sound examples and insight on how mobile technology can be embedded into early childhood. The study is seen as a starting place for more in-depth investigations into the impact of mobile learning on young children's learning.

The setting for this chapter is the author's private violin teaching in a student's home environment in Tokyo metropolitan area, Japan. One of the student's caregivers videotaped a few sets of the violin lessons in the living room of the student's home. The author used the film as a source of cues, stimuli, topics for discussion, and interviewing tools. Specifically, by adapting the methodology of Tobin, Hsueh, and Karasawa's “video-cued multivocal ethnography,” or “the Preschool in Three Cultures method,” this study collected and presented a series of voices all talking about the same set of violin lesson videos. These alternative approaches of string teaching emphasize learners' self-regulated practice to explore sound pitch and their readiness to participate in ensemble playing. The chapter gathers multiple viewpoints to assess the pedagogical practice of flow theory-based pedagogy in a community learning setting along with the concluding remark.

The use of blended learning environments is rapidly expanding in education. This chapter examines a teacher's enactment of the New Tech Network educational model, which utilizes a blended learning environment, and the teaching strategies she used to engage students and gauge student achievement. Detailed teacher interviews, classroom observations, and analyses of student assignments were the sources of data for the study. The findings centered on the integration of culturally relevant pedagogy and authentic instruction within this learning environment and the implications of this integration. Recommendations for future research include a more expansive study of the use of blended learning in social studies and different means of integrating culturally relevant pedagogy and authentic instruction into blended learning.

Full textAbstract:
Students on the autism spectrum who exhibit sexually problematic behaviors in a public school setting are often misunderstood, and over time lead restrictive, isolated, and lonely lives removed from their peers. How can we best address sexually problematic behaviors with students on the spectrum, while upholding the lesser restrictive tenets revered by public education? Unfortunately, without fully understanding the significance their anomalous behaviors serve, students on the spectrum are typically fast-tracked to out-of-district placements. The purpose of this chapter is to present a case study that illuminates the complexities of addressing autism, sexuality, and education in a public school setting. This case will provide a summary of the assessment and programmatic design process, using targeted and evidenced-informed interventions specific to autism. Finally, this case will stress the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, including parent partnership for promoting positive outcomes within the less restrictive environment.

In today's societies where cultural singularity is almost destroyed, diversity can be an important richness, thanks to individuals displaying peace-based approaches. Schools are affected by this diversity and will continue to be cultivated as small but highly effective stakeholders of the social structure. It can be said that it is important for educational organizations to gain human values before teaching theoretical lessons to their students and that the necessary studies should be carried out both for school administrators and teachers and for students. First of all, raising awareness on this issue is a great need during the construction of the peace society. Therefore, in addition to contributing to the literature with this study, it is aimed to present different and diverse perspectives of prejudice, discrimination, and alienation of students and teachers, giving examples of cause and effect relationships. It is also aimed to make suggestions to reduce negative impacts and thus to raise awareness on the subject.

Culture and diversity are familiar yet challenging concepts for early childhood kaiako (teachers). This is a background paper to stimulate thoughts and queries around cultural components in early childhood environments. The author presents findings from a completed research that supports culturally responsive practices within the early childhood teacher education context. The completed research applies a Teaching as Inquiry model to formulate queries for the lecturers. The author then proposes a future research project within the early childhood education context to explore the components of culture. Under a sociocultural research framework, the proposed research aims to collect data from a range of early childhood settings in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Convenience sampling will be used to select willing centres from the initial teacher education (ITE) providers’ database. With the collected data, the proposed study is aimed at enabling participants to develop a reusable reflection model for early childhood kaiako who seek to embrace culturally relevant pedagogy. In support of the proposal, the author theoretically applies a Teaching as Inquiry model to selected questions for reflection listed in Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. The discussion may extract thoughts to help kaiako to formulate focus queries, learning queries and teaching queries within the early childhood education environment.

Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: This study examined the distance teaching practices that early childhood pre-service teachers chose for working with kindergarten students during the COVID-19 lockdown. Background: The spread of the coronavirus resulted in a state of emergency, lockdowns, isolations, and social distancing in Israel. As a result of the lockdown, kindergartens were closed, and learning continued distance teaching. Methodology: In this study, we examine the perception of the role of the coaching kindergarten teacher in the process of integrating and coaching students at the be-ginning of their practicum in kindergarten, during the COVID period, from the perspective of the students. The study involved 32 female preservice teachers studying at teacher training institutions in Israel. The study used the qualitative research method. Contribution: Imparting knowledge, tools, and skills for working in this environment could have led to more significant teaching during the COVID-19 lockdown period by some of the participants in the study. Findings: The data analysis revealed that preservice teachers could be divided into three categories: (a) those who adopted distance teaching (12.5%), (b) those who sent asynchronous messages (21.8%), and (c) those who initiated distance learning activities (65.6%). Participants raised three issues: (a) communication and interactions, (b) characteristics of the preservice teachers, and (c) attitudes, tools, and technological skills of the preservice teachers. The findings revealed differences in the resilience and efficacy of the preservice teachers, including creativity, endurance, independence, flexibility, and the degree of e-readiness for teaching in a digital environment. These differences affected the choice of distance teaching practices. Recommendations for Practitioners: Knowledge strengthens the sense of mental resilience; therefore, it is necessary to enhance the digital readiness of students in early education teaching programs. The process of training preservice teachers must include teaching practices in a digital environment, thereby expanding the students’ “toolbox” and increasing their e-readiness for effective integration of the digital environment. Recommendations for Researchers: The findings of the study can be applied in periods when it is not possible to meet face-to-face, with remote populations in the periphery, and in joint learning of kindergarten teachers, parents, and children within the framework of homeschooling in geographically distant areas, carried out remotely and not face to face. All the preservice teachers who participated in the study and all the parents of the children in the kindergartens had full access to the Internet and application's; therefore, the findings of the present study can be applied only to populations that have access to the Internet. For populations that have partial access, the data may be applied only partially. Impact on Society: It is important that kindergarten teachers initiate distance learning with the children and parents on an ongoing basis, not only during emergencies and crises, on various topics, for example, the online activities program focusing on the seasons of the year. Parents can write texts with their children and all kindergarten children can see them; they can document trees in various situations—the falling of leaves and blossoming—and share with all the kindergarten children and their parents in a dedicated forum; watch a show online with the all the children and their parents; send videos and allow responses on the common forum to the kindergarten staff, children, and parents. In addition, in the process of preservice teacher training, students must acquire social-emotional skills and cultivate a sense of resilience, empathy, self-efficacy, growth mindset patterns, decision-making ability, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, interaction management, and responsibility. Future Research: The sample included 32 preservice teachers in early education, in the final year of their training, and examined the practices chosen by the preservice teachers during the first COVID-19 lockdown. Further studies, following subsequent closures, may show a better adaptation to distance teaching because of the experience gained in the meantime. Future studies should examine the distance teaching practices that teachers have used in practice during the closure periods, and what factors advanced and hindered distance learning.

Full textAbstract:
Early child development is related to early education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial development; therefore, the holistic concept of early approach combines elements from the area of stimulation of the child, health, nutrition, speech therapy, psychological counselling, physical development support, etc. The need for the development of integrated early education services and their extension to the area of 0-3 years are priorities of the European strategies assumed through a complex of educational policy measures, having as a priority the development of quality early education services for the benefit of all prerequisites for lowering the schooling rate (Strategy for early childhood education, Strategy for parental education, Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania, Study on the evaluation of public policies in the field of early childhood education - Saber Early Childhood). In this context of the development of early childhood education, numerous inequalities are identified in the implementation of European and national strategies and programs in the development of early childhood education services, supported by economic, political, social factors, etc. In order to make them compatible at European level, we consider it necessary to support training and development programs for staff providing educational services in early childhood education institutions. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the opinion of the bodies with attributions in the pre-kindergarten and preschool education in Romania, as well as of the civil society and public opinion, as a prerequisite for identifying school policy measures and developing programs for training the teaching staff so as to be able to provide educational services in early childhood education (representatives responsible for early childhood education in school inspectorates and Houses of the Teaching Staff, teaching staff in preschool educational institutions, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, representatives of the Social Assistance Directorate, managers of nursery schools, representatives of NGOs and other categories of organizations with experience in the field, parents and interested representatives of the civil society and public opinion). The present study is a qualitative research based on the focus-group method, but also a quantitative research by using the questionnaire-based survey, being carried out on a representative sample of 100 persons (2 focus-group of 25 persons, respectively 50 persons involved in the survey-based questionnaire). The conclusions of this study highlight the need to restructure the system of early childhood education in Romania through interventions at the legislative level and ensure a unitary system of policy and intervention in early childhood education. Also, we believe it is imperative to reorganize the training system of the human resource, by developing complementary competences of the teaching staff, adapted to the training needs of the early childhood population, ensuring a valuable inclusive and integrated intervention.

Pedagogical proposals for the teaching of children aged 0 to 5 years were intensified in Brazil. Currently, the Common National Curriculum Base guides the experience of the curriculum by contemplating a diversity of knowledge, such as that of mathematics and statistics. In this article, we analyze an experience with five-year-olds, addressing statistical literacy from the stages of the investigative cycle. This is a survey cut of the master's degree in which teachers of early childhood education participated in group studies on statistical literacy. We analyze the practice of one of the teachers in the experience of a planning, whose problematization came from the curiosity of the children. The importance of the study is highlighted, as it allows planning and living a significant investigation from the perspective of statistical literacy. Propostas pedagógicas para o ensino de crianças de 0 a 5 anos foram intensificadas no Brasil. Atualmente, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular orienta a vivência do currículo contemplando uma diversidade de conhecimentos, como os de Matemática e Estatística. Neste artigo, analisamos uma vivência com crianças de cinco anos, abordando o Letramento Estatístico a partir das etapas do ciclo investigativo. Trata-se de um recorte de pesquisa de mestrado em que professoras da Educação Infantil participaram de estudos em grupo sobre Letramento Estatístico. Analisa-se a prática de uma das professoras na vivência de um planejamento, cuja problematização partiu da curiosidade das crianças. Destaca-se a importância do estudo, por possibilitar o planejamento e vivência de uma investigação significativa na perspectiva do Letramento Estatístico.
