Die Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Covid-19-Pandemie trafen Familien mit kleinen Kindern besonders hart: Ausgangsbeschränkungen, die Abriegelung von Spielplätzen und allem voran die Schließungen von Kinderbetreuungseinrichtungen stellten nicht nur den familiären Alltag auf den Kopf, sondern haben möglicherweise auch langfristige Folgen für die altersgerechte Entwicklung und den Kompetenzerwerb von Kindern. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich der Frage, welche Auswirkungen sich aus den Einschränkungen des Kita-­Betriebs in der Corona-Pandemie auf die Bildungsgerechtigkeit in der frühen Kindheit ergeben können. Da keine vergleichbaren historischen Ereignisse zur Prognose von potenziellen Auswirkungen herangezogen werden können, werden zum einen die Ergebnisse von Wirksamkeitsstudien zu institutionalisierter früher Bildung aufbereitet und zum anderen erste Befunde aus ad-hoc Erhebungen des ersten Lockdowns im Frühjahr 2020 analysiert. Bilanzierend werden aus den Befunden mögliche kurz-, mittel- und langfristige Auswirkungen abgeleitet, die Bildungsungerechtigkeit bereits in der frühen Kindheit verstärken können. Abstract: Educational Equality in the Crisis: What Impact does the Corona Pandemic have on Early Childhood Education? The actions taken to contain the Covid-19 pandemic hit families with young children particularly hard. Social restrictions, the closure of playgrounds and, above all, the lockdown of day-care facilities did not only turn everyday family life upside down, but could also have long-term consequences for child development and acquisition of skills. This article is devoted to the question of what effects the measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic can have on educational equality in early childhood. Since no comparable historical events can be used to forecast potential impacts, the results of efficacy studies on institutionalized early education are reported on the one hand and initial findings from ad-hoc surveys conducted during the first lockdown in spring 2020 are ana­lyzed on the other. The findings suggest short, middle and long-term effects of the corona measures taken that can intensify educational inequality in early childhood.

In spite of increasing international concern and the long-term effects of bullying on children’s development, bullying in early childhood has been overlooked and underestimated, with both children and adults having difficulties in recognizing and understanding it. This study explores how young children respond to bully-themed stories, what and how they expressed in writing letters to characters from the stories, and how their attitudes towards and understanding of bullying have changed through a series of reading, discussing and writing about bullying. Drawing from social-constructivist theory, this study was conducted in a classroom of 20 5-year-old children in a metropolitan city in Korea using a qualitative study approach. The children were involved in a large group reading about bullying and follow-up letter-writing activities led by their teacher. The findings show that the approach used in this study helped children clearly understand and recognize bullying. Specifically, the letter-writing activities after reading and discussing bully-themed stories enhanced their understanding of bullying and helped them empathize with the characters. The children also showed various ways of solving problems/issues and practised getting along with other children. Approaches to more meaningful and effective planning and implementing activities for bullying education in the early childhood classroom are discussed.

Malnutrition and infectious diseases in infancy and early childhood have an impact on the cognitive development of children in developing countries. The long-term effects of these diseases are less well understood. A number of studies relate early malnutrition, iron deficiency, and malaria infection to poor cognitive abilities in the school-age years. The long-term effect of randomized interventions in early childhood has been evaluated for nutrition supplementation and psychosocial stimulation of malnourished children and for malaria prevention in a community cohort. The evidence suggests that improving the health and nutrition of young children can improve their subsequent chances of attending school, the gender equity of education access, and performance of children once at school.

É de grande importância a investigação dos efeitos do exercício para a saúde metabólica quando realizado no início da vida, e quais seriam as respostas durante a fase adulta. O objetivo desse estudo é analisar os efeitos do exercício físico de intensidade moderada durante a infância na adiposidade e sensibilidade à insulina de ratos durante a fase adulta. Vinte ratos Wistar desmamados de 28 dias de vida foram divididos em grupos Controle e Treinado. O grupo Controle permaneceu sedentário, enquanto o grupo Treinado realizou exercício de natação a 80% do limiar anaeróbio (determinado pelo teste de lactato mínimo) por 1hora/dia, 5dias/semana do 28º até o 90º dia de vida. No fim do experimento, a massa corporal, adiposidade, sensibilidade à insulina, glicemia, insulinemia, insulina pancreática, atividade lipogênica do tecido adiposo mesentérico, atividade lipogênica e estoques de glicogênio no músculo gastrocnêmio e captação de glicose pelo músculo sóleo foram analizadas. O grupo Treinado apresentou menor ganho de massa corporal, acúmulo de gordura, síntese de lipídios, glicemia, insulinemia e insulina pancreática. Kitt, HOMA-IR, estoques de glicogênio no gastrocnêmio e captação de glicose pelo sóleo foram maiores nesse grupo. Portanto, concluímos que o exercício físico moderado realizado durante a infância pode contribuir para a redução da adiposidade corporal e resistência à insulina durante a fase adulta em ratos Wistar.
