A child’s right to education within the family according to Imam Syafi’i and its significance for early childhood  education in Indonesia This research is based on library research on the rights of the child to education within the family from the viewpoint of Imam Shafi’i, and the impact of his teachings on early childhood education in Indonesia. The study is interesting because the first schools to appear in Indonesia were of the Syafi’i tradition. Imam Syafi’i jurists and ushuliyyin have collections of poems that express the need to develop education in early childhood. Despite this, the theory of children’s education in the school of Imam Syafi’i is under researched. This study examines three research questions. First, how does one undertake a  biography of the thought of Imam Syafi’i and Imam Syafi’i school of thought. Second, what is the concept of children’s rights in the family in the view of Imam Syafi’i. And third, is there reference to  early Childhood education that implies the concept of children’s rights to education in the view of Imam Syafi’i. This study concludes that Imam Syafi ‘i in scientific rihlah is purely academic. Imam Syafi’i also elicits several important ideas on a child’s rights within the family, the right to education and the right to self-expression. Imam Syafi’i schools are relevaant to early childhood education in Indonesia in which these (religious education) schools are widespread.

AbstractThis study investigates the attitudes, behaviors, and views about the rights of the child of early childhood education (ECE) teachers in Turkey. A mixed-method sequential transformative design was used, and 205 ECE teachers’ attitudes towards children’s rights were analyzed using a quantitative questionnaire. Ten of these ECE teachers were then observed, and their views in terms of the rights of children were elicited through interviews. According to the findings, teachers’ attitudes toward the rights of the child were positive; however, their behaviors and views were not compatible with most of these rights. While teachers were sensitive to the right to protection, they did not meet the requirements of the rights to development, growth, and participation or the principles of best interest and non-discrimination. Educating teachers about the rights of the child plays an important role in enhancing children’s learning and the application of these rights. To support these rights, teachers need to properly understand the rights of the child, how to protect them, and how to reflect these rights in their practices.

An individual is born with millions of neurons and the quality of the experiences he/she will have at the early years can potentially determine the future life of that person. This makes quality early childhood education pivotal. However, the perception people have about this influence how they prepare themselves to provide that quality early childhood education for young children. Thus, this qualitative research purposively sampled 26 participants to elicit their views about the perception they have about the criticality of early years experiences and how the perception influenced how they were providing the early childhood education within the Kumasi metropolis of Ghana. Data in the form of interview were analysed thematically. The study found that experiences through the early childhood education are criticality serving as the foundation for future education. The study also found that developmentally appropriate infrastructure (such as tables and chairs sized to the height of learners, spacious and well-ventilated classroom), teachers who are specifically trained in early childhood education and child friendly pedagogy should be in place to ensure quality early childhood education and that how early childhood education was perceived greatly influenced how it was provided. The recommendations based on the findings are that, there should be more advocacy by teachers and headteachers on the criticality of early years experiences to ensure people’s sufficient appreciation for quality early childhood education for young children. Importantly, early childhood education should be completely detached from the primary and basic school to enable it receive the due attention and the needed provision. Individuals with the right perception should be engaged with the provision of ECE.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar e analisar a formação da identidade pessoal e social da criança na Educação Infantil estabelecidos nas atuais Diretrizes e Referenciais Curriculares Nacionais da Educação Infantil. Procura, também, identificar a importância das brincadeiras e suas interações, dos brinquedos para o desenvolvimento da formação desta identidade e do papel do professor e da professora nesse processo. Esta pesquisa configura-se como exploratória qualitativa e tem como procedimento técnico a análise dos documentos legais como o Referencial Curricular Nacional para a Educação Infantil: formação pessoal e social (BRASIL, 1998), as Diretrizes curriculares nacionais para a educação infantil (BRASIL, 2010) e os Brinquedos e brincadeiras nas creches: manual de orientação pedagógica (BRASIL, 2012). Entendemos que os textos e as diretrizes legais, mesmo sendo referências nacionais, são significados no seu contexto e, por mais que se procure universalizar práticas, estas só se revelam na ação dos próprios sujeitos que o compõem e lhe dão sentido e significado. Ou seja, por mais que as diretrizes ou as orientações legais sejam prescritivas e universais, quem dá sentido ao texto e ao conhecimento é o próprio sujeito que o vive. Palavras-chave: Identidade. Criança. Formação pessoal e social. Brinquedos.ABSTRACTThis article addresses and analyzes one of the objectives of Early Childhood Education established in the current National Curriculum Guidelines and Frameworks for Early Childhood Education, which is the formation of the child’s personal and social identity. It emphasizes the importance of the games, toys and their interactions for the development of the formation of the personal and social identity and the role of the teacher in this process. This research is configured as a qualitative and thematic research as an analysis of legal documents as the National Curricular Reference for Childhood Education: personal and social formation (BRASIL, 1998), National Curricular Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2010), The toys and games in the nursery: pedagogical guidance manual. (BRAZIL, 2012). We understand that texts and legal laws, even if they are national references, are meaningful in their context and therefore are universal practices, these are revealed in the action of more rigorous than the right of speech and meaning. That is, as rough as legal guidelines are prescribed and universal, what gives meaning to the text and to knowledge is the subject who lives.Keywords: Identity. Child. Personal and social formation.

The discourse on freedom of speech, in particular when expressing an opinion on the provisions of the Rights of the Child, is often ignored by a trend of change in education that is too concentrated on the authoritarian educational process that prioritizes the success of academic learning rather than the socio-emotional success of children. It is important to communicate the experiences and feelings experienced by children, particularly bullying that occurs early in childhood. This research would examine the importance of free expression in children's rights to the prevention of bullying in early childhood through a decolonization approach. This study employed a literature review approach with a transformative paradigm which take a look at critical thoughts about children's rights, particularly freedom of speech that aims at preventing the bullying that occurs in early childhood. This study argued that the process of preventing bullying and even other negative behavior is effective when parents and teacher properly enforce the rights of children, especially freedom of speech. These results further illuminate the complexities faced by teachers in the application of free expression in early childhood education in daily life.

Questa origine spiega, in parte, l'offerta limitata di educazione della prima infanzia per le popolazioni rurali, anche oggi. Lo studio discute la traiettoria degli asili nelle aree rurali, analizza alcuni degli indicatori e dati educativi sull'attuazione di "Proinfância" in queste aree.

È necessario affermare che questi bambini sono soggetti di diritti, la loro educazione deve essere intesa come una condizione di cittadinanza e la specificità dell'assistenza all'infanzia nelle aree rurali come un diritto alla differenza.

This chapter aims to shed light on the relationship between the development of laterality and the learning of mathematics in early childhood education using the ABN method. Thus, the authors present an experience developed with 24 children of 4 and 5 years old from several sessions of physical education where laterality and mathematics were worked on in the framework of a project developed in the classroom. The neuropsychological laterality test and a psychomotor table with values referred exclusively to manual and foot laterality, and indicators referred to the ABN method were used as evaluation instruments. The results obtained indicate that students with homogeneous right- or left-handed laterality obtain better results, as well as those with crossed laterality, since they have defined their manual and foot dominance. However, students with undefined laterality obtain worse results, even showing a lateral tendency towards the use of the right side of the body.
