AbstractThis research is a comparative study of Finnish and Australian science curricula in early childhood education (EC). The study aims to figure out the constructivist components of the science curriculum in two countries as well as locate the similarities and differences in the rationale and aims, contents, learning outcomes, learning activities, teacher’s role and assessment. The curriculum analysis framework developed by Van den Akker (2003) was used as a methodological framework for the curricula analysis. Based on the theory-driven content analyses, findings show that both countries have several components of constructivist curriculum, but not always clearly focused on science education. The Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) integrates children’s science learning within their five specific learning outcomes, whereas the Finnish national core curriculum for early childhood education and care has no defined learning outcomes in general. The Finnish curriculum more clearly than EYLF encompasses science and environmental education as a learning domain, within which children participate in targeted scientific activities to gain procedural knowledge in specific environmental-related concepts. More focus should be turned to the teachers’ role and assessment, which are not determined in science context in both countries. This international comparative study calls for the need of a considered EC curriculum framework that more explicitly has science domains with specifically defined rationale, aims, content areas, learning outcomes and assessment criteria. The implications lie in providing early childhood educators with tangible and theoretically solid curriculum framework and resources in order to foster scientific thinking in young children.

A day care center is not just any place where children can spend their day while parents are at work. How to ensure that children have good childhood experiences and how to sup-port their positive development from the very beginning of their educational career? In this study, we introduce the concept of love-based leadership and discuss its role and implemen-tation in early education. Love-based leadership in early education is a method that renews teachers’ professional skills. The Finnish early childhood education system offers favorable premises for love-based leadership in early education. The method should also be included in the curriculum of future early childhood education teachers.

Education And Care

La strategia del Consiglio Europeo di Barcellona del 2002 prevedeva di raggiungere entro il 2010 una copertura del 33% di servizi educativi per la prima infanzia (0-3 anni). In Italia, tuttavia, la spesa sociale dedicata alla Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) rimane ancora al di sotto dei livelli previsti ed oggi, con la diffusione dell’epidemia Covid-19, il rischio che l’educazione e la cura vengano erogate a livelli qualitativi e quantitativi differenti è più che reale. Dopo un approfondimento sulla relazione tra maggiori investimenti nei servizi di educazione per la prima infanzia e il loro ritorno sociale, l’analisi empirica verrà condotta sui primi effetti, in Italia, del “Sistema integrato di educazione ed istruzione da 0 a 6 anni” (L. 65/2017) e in particolare sull’utilizzo del “Fondo nazionale per il sistema integrato di educazione e istruzione”.

National Education System

To realize the vision of national development, namely to realize a society of noble character, morality, ethics, culture and civilization based on the Pancasila philosophy, the national education system must be the main focus that must be addressed. Based on the functions and objectives of national education, it is clear that education at every level must be organized systematically to achieve that goal. This concerns the reality of education in educational units from early childhood education to tertiary education which is currently experiencing fading and degradation in terms of forming the character of its students. All of this is due to the absence of a learning system focused on the direction of the formation of superior character values. Keywords:education, character education, youth and the future of the nation Untuk mewujudkan visi pembangunan nasional, yaitu mewujudkan masyarakat berakhlak mulia, bermoral, beretika, berbudaya dan beradab berdasarkan falsafah Pancasila, maka sistem pendidikan nasional harus menjadi fokus utama yang harus dibenahi. Berdasarkan fungsi dan tujuan pendidikan nasional, jelas bahwa pendidikan di setiap jenjang, harus diselenggarakan secara sistematis guna mencapai tujuan tersebut. Hal ini menyangkut realitas pendidikan di dalam satuan pendidikan dari pendidikan usia dini sampai perguruan tinggi yang saat ini mengalami pemudaran dan degradasi dalam hal pembentukan karakter peserta didiknya. Semua ini disebabkan karena tidak adanya sistem pembelajaran yang terfokus pada arah pembentukan nilai-nilai karakter unggul. Kata Kunci:pendidikan, pendidikankarakter, pemuda dan masa depanbangsa
