Title: Didactical discussion on pre-school teachers’ prerequisites for working with mathematics in Finnish early childhood educationAbstract: Finnish teachers encounter an increased focus on learning aspects and a revised legislation strengthens teachers’ professional role for early learning, which also has impact on pre-school teachers’ work in early childhood education (children 0–5 years). The paradigm in early childhood education in recent years emphasizes development, learning and teaching. Mathematics is one content area that has been given a lot of attention in Nordic discussions on education for early years. However, the Finnish national curricula and guidelines for early childhood education give limited support for developing stimulating and goal-oriented educational practice in so called academic fields of knowledge, for example mathematics. This article aims at pointing at some of the prerequisites for working with mathematics in Finnish early childhood education in relation to new research on mathematical development and didactics suitable for early childhood education. Three authentic examples of traditional pre-school activities with toddlers are taken as a starting point for the didactical discussion.

Child Play

The work reviews the ongoing controversy over work and play within the framework of a constructivist early childhood curriculum. Educators and parents with narrow perception of play view it as mere physical actions of walking, clapping and singing outside class work. However, educators who hold a constructivist epistemological view of child play see play as educative, and possessing ingredients for stimulation that foster an all-round development of children. The paper examines various dimensions of play and work within a constructivist early childhood education paradigm, with special reference to playful learning. The authors argue that teachers of young children need to conceptualize play with a supportive policy and procedural environment that meet the criteria for evaluational, relational and instrumental relevance. Some challenges associated with the use of playful learning in early childhood education centres in Nigeria and South Africa are highlighted.

This study aimed to identify the forms of tantrums and triggers for tantrums in early childhood at school. The method used in this study was quantitative descriptive by using a questionnaire in data collection which was distributed online to 101 of early childhood education and kindergarten teachers' Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal in 14 regencies /cities of West Kalimantan. This study used percentage descriptive analysis. The results showed that the trigger for tantrums in early childhood at school was 33.7%  due to the child's desire that was not fulfilled by the form of tantrum behavior shown by 28.7%, namely by crying. The way the teachers calmed tantrum children at school was 18.8% by hugging the children. Although tantrum behavior is a behavior that usually occurs in early childhood at school, teachers must recognize and be able to overcome tantrum behavior that appears in children so that in the future training is needed for teachers in dealing with children with tantrums at school.   Keywords: tantrum, behaviors, early childhood, school
