Research Around the World

I chose to look at Early Childhood Australia website.

On this website, I found the following current international research topics:

·         Everyday learning about responding to the emotional needs of children.

·         Research in practice series: Planning in the context of the EYLF: Powerful, practical and pedagogically sound.

The website allows you to view their newsletter. In the most current issue, there is an article titled Kids Haven’t  Changed; Kindergarten Has.  I thought this was interesting because as I have read in many other articles and newsletters, this issue is very hot even in the United States.  It was interesting to me to learn that this was an issue in other parts of the world.

Another article was about challenges in childcare.  This article discussed the decline in childcare workers due to low wages. 

 I found this site to be very informative. I really enjoyed learning about the research in practice series.  This is an easy to read resource, offering effective new approaches for challenging issues which arise in the care and education of young children.  This is a link that I want to explore more and possibly subscribe to.

    Alisa thanks for sharing and because of your views I will definitely go to the site and view. It is definetely true that Kindergarten has changed but to see that other countries have this same view is interesting.

    Alisa-

    I think both topics you highlight are important and isn't it interesting the they are challenged by the same things we are here in the states? It will be interesting to see what solutions we all come up with as an international education community.

    Thanks for sharing!
