Early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers have a central role in supporting young children’s physical activity (PA) and overall development in the early years. However, the value of early childhood education teacher training (ECETT) programmes is not widely understood. This study aimed to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of perceived competence when (1) supporting a child’s PA, (2) teaching PE, and (3) observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. These self-evaluations were compared with a range of individual, educational, and behavioural characteristics. Final-year Bachelor degree pre-service teachers (n = 274; 54%) from seven universities in Finland participated in the self-report questionnaire. The results of the linear regression models showed that the relevant PE studies and previous experiences of pre-service teachers predicted higher perceived competence of supporting a child’s PA, teaching PE, and observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. Thus, the study findings demonstrated how teacher training could positively influence perceptions and attitudes to increase a person’s perceived competence when implementing PE in the early years. Overall, results reinforce the importance of PE in ECETT, and the time devoted to this syllabus area should be maintained or increased.

This article has the main objective of understanding the initial formation of teachers of Child Education, providing a critical look at the contributions of the specific disciplines of this area to the graduation of Pedagogy from the State University of Londrina. This text is justified, mainly, by considering that Early Childhood Education is the first stage of the basic education of the child and needs to be better re-signified in the courses of teacher training, in this case, Degree in Pedagogy. There is still the need to analyze this process of initial training and if there is quality in the teacher training to work with children from the earliest age. The methodology proposed is of a qualitative nature, with a bibliographical study, analysis of the official documents and specific disciplines directed to the formation of teachers for Early Childhood Education, in order to perceive the contributions of the Pedagogical Course of the State University of Londrina, with a view content and content of their respective subjects. As a result, it is believed that the Pedagogy course, if well structured and organized as a curriculum of knowledge for teaching, research and extension, can effectively contribute in the initial educational process for a quality work with the education of the childhood.

Este artigo apresenta o Projeto “Organização do Tempo-Espaço na Educação Infantil”, iniciativa desenvolvida a partir da demanda de formação de profissionais da Educação Infantil apresentada pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação e Cultura de Alfenas, Minas Gerais. Foram realizados encontros nas escolas, nos quais levantamos a forma como as brincadeiras são incorporadas à prática pedagógica em cada contexto, tendo como objetivo construir espaços em que a brincadeira e a interação estivessem na centralidade. O projeto se orienta por relações dialógicas entre a universidade e a comunidade, superando a hegemonia acadêmica e privilegiando a construção coletiva de saberes, ou seja, elaborar com as professoras da rede municipal um aparato teórico e prático sobre a importância da brincadeira e da interação nesta etapa da educação. Buscamos construir conhecimentos ética e cientificamente coerentes por meio da Metodologia Comunicativa Crítica, perspectiva que almeja não apenas explicar as situações sociais, mas edificar sonhos e utopias para transformar a sociedade. O referencial adotado, Aprendizagem Dialógica, em linhas gerais interpreta os problemas educativos e busca transpô-los por meio de práticas solidárias e igualitárias. Assim, este projeto se propõe a discutir as exigências da formação de professores/as para a educação infantil com a contribuição de diferentes perspectivas para, em diálogo com os/as docentes e a comunidade, construir novas propostas pedagógicas. Como resultados, apontamos o envolvimento das escolas nos processos de elaboração de novas práticas, reconfigurando a organização do espaço e do tempo, e centralizando a brincadeira e a interação no processo de ensino e aprendizagem na Educação Infantil. Palavras-chave: Extensão Universitária; Formação Permanente de Professores/as; Creche; Pré-Escola Training experiences with play and interactions in childhood education Abstract: This paper presents the Project “Organization of time-space in Early Childhood Education,” this initiative was developed based on the demand for training of Early Childhood Education professionals presented by the Education and Culture Secretariat of a municipality in the south of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Meetings were held in schools in which we raised the way in which games are incorporated into pedagogical practice in each context, aiming to build spaces in which play and interaction were central. The project is guided by dialogical relations between the university and the community, overcoming academic hegemony and privileging the collective construction of knowledge, that is, building with the teachers a theoretical and practical apparatus on the importance of play and interaction in education childish. We seek to build ethical and scientifically coherent knowledge through Critical Communicative Methodology, a perspective that aims not only to explain social situations but to build dreams and utopias to transform society. The theory, Dialogical Learning, broadly interprets educational problems and seeks to overcome them through solidary and egalitarian practices. Thus, this project aims to discuss the requirements of teacher training for early childhood education with the contribution of different perspectives to, in dialogue with teachers and the community, develop new pedagogical proposals. As a result, we point out the involvement of schools in the processes of building new practices, reconfiguring the organization of space and time, and centralizing play and interaction in the process of teaching and learning in Early Childhood Education.

The last decade brought major change to the Mexican educational system as sweeping reforms across all levels were implemented. In particular the early years of education became the focus of legislation to increase quality, open access, and improve curriculum. Mexico captured international attention when it became the first country to make it obligatory for the State to provide pre-school education services for children 3 to 6 years of age and required parents to see that their children attend a public or private pre-school. This chapter explores the gap between policy and implementation of early childhood and technology reform. This sweeping reform is one of the first international attempts to support early childhood education at this level.

The chances of success of the internship in early childhood education, which takes place in the third degree, are very high. However, there may be circumstances that may befall the teacher-training student, which in a way turn the formative experience into a pretext for personal and professional growth. In order to know and understand its practice, we use narrative methodology. It is the most suitable way we have found to share his voice, giving him epistemological authority and being a pretext to improve from his experience. Her words lead us to understand that she wants to be a teacher, and that she learns in any situation, even though her tutor is in a context and with a very particular reality. The conclusion is in continuous construction as the student has learned, disapproved and reappeared with the practice; from being a student of practice to becoming one in practice.

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.

The last decade has revealed a global (re)configuring of the relationships between the state, society and educational settings in the direction of systems of performance management. In this article, the authors conduct a critical feminist inquiry into this changing relationship in relation to the professionalisation of early childhood education and care practitioners in Ireland, with a focus on dilemmatic contradictions between the policy reform ensemble and practitioners’ reported working conditions in a doctoral study. The critique draws from the politics of power and education, and gendered and classed subjectivities, and allows the authors to theorise early childhood education and care professionalisation in alternative emancipatory ways for democratic pedagogy rather than a limited performativity. The findings reveal the state (re)configured as a central command centre with an over-reliance on surveillance, alongside deficits of responsibility for public interest values in relation to the working conditions of early childhood education and care workers, who are mostly part-time ‘pink-collar’ women workers in precarious roles. The study has implications that go beyond Ireland for the professionalisation of early childhood education and care workers and meeting the early developmental needs of young children.

This article evaluates the concept of infant ‘belonging’, central to several national curricula for early childhood education and care. Here, the authors focus on Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework. Four different meanings attach to ‘belonging’ in the Early Years Learning Framework, the primary being sociopolitical. However, ‘a sense of belonging’ is also proposed as something that should be observable and demonstrable in infants and toddlers – such demonstration being held up as one of the keys to quality outcomes in early childhood education and care. The Early Years Learning Framework endows belonging with two contrasting meanings when applied to infants. The first, the authors call ‘marked belonging’, and it refers to the infant’s exclusion from or inclusion in defined groups of others. The second, the authors provisionally call ‘unmarked’ belonging. Differences between these two meanings of infant belonging are explored by describing two contrasting observational vignettes from video recordings of infants in early childhood education and care. The authors conclude that ‘belonging’ is not a helpful way to refer to, or empirically demonstrate, an infant’s mundane comfort or ‘unmarked’ agentive ease in shared early childhood education and care settings. A better way to conceptualise and research this would be through the prism of infants’ proven capacity to participate in groups.
