This study examines the way in which Early Childhood Educators trained in Ontario college programs are prepared to work with queer populations upon entering the field. This study used post-structuralist, queer feminist, and critical disability theoretical frameworks while analysing the data. A content analysis, informed by critical discourse analysis, was used to assess program documents. Course descriptions from ECE program websites were collected, as well as a total of 33 course outlines from 11 different Ontario college ECE programs, and 9 textbooks identified through the course outlines. Queer content was found to be absent from all but 5 course outlines and 4 textbooks. The need to have queer issues included formally in Ontario ECE curriculum, the othering of queer populations, and the erasure of queer identities are discussed. Key

Background: Current research on early childhood education (ECE) leadership as well as on policy reform in Finland suggests that pedagogical leadership must be considered as a purposeful and planned process. Pedagogical leadership plans play a key role in the purposeful and effective enactment of pedagogical leadership in ECE settings.Aim: This study aimed at examining the contents of pedagogical leadership plans drawn up in Finnish ECE centres to interpret the perceptions of the centre directors on the implementation of pedagogical leadership in their settings.Setting: This study examines pedagogical leadership plans in ECE settings in Finland.Methods: We used inductive content analysis to examine documents drawn up by nine ECE centre directors as pedagogical leadership plans for their centres. Our analysis identified four main categories that describe how the ECE centre directors conceive the enactment of pedagogical leadership.Results: The findings revealed that the focus of the plans was on leading pedagogical issues and processes within the ECE centres. Creating structures for pedagogical development and reflection were emphasised in the plans. The plans reflected a distributed leadership approach.Conclusion: The findings of the study provide information about how the ECE directors intend to enact pedagogical leadership and assist ECE leaders to develop leadership planning in their work settings. In this way, the study contributes to leadership development within the ECE sector.

Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) experienced system-wide changes in legislation, curriculum, and teachers’ and centre leaders’ qualification requirements between 2013 and 2018. Through these changes, the Finnish ECEC follows the global trends shifting the focus of ECEC from care towards education. The data are leaders’ ( N = 41) written responses to three open-ended questions in a survey completed in 2018. The analytical framework draws on the models of educational change and human capital of pedagogical leadership. The framework directs focus on leaders’ understanding about and realisation of these new policies in their ECEC centres. Results indicate that leaders have the capacity to interpret and lead the curriculum process. However, to secure the coherence in and quality of ECEC, guidance that is more systematic and instruments (e.g. for development of pedagogy) that support the implementation of the curriculum and its assessment are needed.

O artigo objetiva identificar os sentidos da docência com bebês antes e depois da realização do curso de Especialização em Docência na Educação Infantil desenvolvido na Universidade Federal do Pará e analisar os reflexos da formação continuada na (re)construção desses sentidos. A pesquisa baseia-se na abordagem qualitativa, e, como técnica, realizou-se uma roda de conversa com quatro educadoras que concluíram o Curso. Para a análise, utilizaram-se técnicas da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2002). Constatou-se que, embora vários espaços sociais influenciem a construção de sentidos, a sólida formação teórico e prática proporcionada às participantes da pesquisa permitiu uma (re) significação dos sentidos que elas possuíam sobre a docência com bebês. Conclui-se que, quando se pretende qualificar o trabalho docente com bebês em espaços coletivos, é indispensável investir na formação dos educadores para que sentidos que valorizem o potencial do bebê e o trabalho docente a eles destinado sejam (re)significados.Palavras-chave: Sentidos da docência.

The research is based on the qualitative approach and as a technique, a Round of Conversation was conducted with four teachers who graduated from in that Course. For the analysis, we used the techniques of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2002). It was found that even if several social spaces influence the construction of meanings, the solid theoretical and practical training given to the participants of the research influenced the (re)significance of the senses they had on teaching with babies. This implies that if one wants to qualify the teaching work with baby in collective spaces it is indispensable to invest in the training of Educators so that senses that value the potential of the baby and the teaching work destined to them are (re)meanings.Keywords: Teaching directions.
