The purpose of this study was to investigate undergraduate students' knowledge in the implementation of the Investigation Project during their teaching practice. Investigation Project is one of the approaches adopted from the Project Approach. This approach included in the National Preschool Standard Curriculum. In this study, data were collected using questionnaire and interview protocol. The survey was used to obtain information on the students' knowledge of implementing the Investigation Project. At the same time, the interviews were conducted to find out the implementation of the Investigation Project for students undergoing teaching practice using the Teacher's Guide. The study sample is purposive sampling. One hundred seven students answered the questionnaire, and the interview protocol administered to 5 students who are implementing the Investigation Project in their teaching practices using Teacher Guidelines. The findings of the study indicate that the level of knowledge of the Early Childhood Education students in the Investigation Project is at a moderate level with an overall mean value of 2.69. The findings from the interview protocol found that the Teacher Guidelines provided to them helped them to implement the Investigation Project more effectively. The conclusion, this study showed that postgraduate students need a practical guide in assisting them to achieve this approach as they are less exposed to this approach while studying. The implications of this study have provided beneficial exposure to potential TADIKA teachers in Malaysia.

Abstract: This paper presents a research-action project carried out in 2012/13 in relation to the Early Childhood Education-Centre for Teachers-University Network. This network has been constructed to collaboratively research the Project Approach (hereinafter, PA) in Early Childhood Education classrooms. It is made up of teachers and pupils of Early Childhood Education, an adviser from the Continuing Professional Development Centre for Teachers, university researchers, and undergraduate students. The total number of people involved in the RIECU network is 538. From a qualitative paradigm, this work aims at analysing the learning outcomes achieved by the children through their participation in the RIECU network, based on the opinions expressed by the teachers, the families, the adviser, the researchers, and the undergraduate students. Semi-structured interviews, a focus group, and research journals were used to compile information. The most relevant results were: (1) the children obtain benefits by using the PA as a means of approaching knowledge; and (2) they acquire new attitudes towards knowledge, such as initiative, self-assurance, and responsibility. RIECU: Red de Infantil Escuela-Centro de Profesorado-Universidad.

The purpose of the study is to examine the early childhood education students’ values and what are the differences in the students’ values in specific conditions related to social environment. The values of undergraduate students who study early childhood education are very important for professional development and practice. The purpose of this study is to determine, if their values change during their study programme; which values are more important to the students; and what are the differences in the students’ values in terms of the type of study (full time/part time), years of study, age, work experience and work status. Results indicate that employed students have higher scores on other-centred values than unemployed students, older students express more others-centred values than younger students, while in self-centred values there are no age differences. Students who have more work experience express more others-centred values and students who study longer express more others-centred values than fresh students, while in self-centred values differences by years of study do not occur. These results reveal important changes in the hierarchy of values related to measured variables and interplay between various conditions.

Partindo do entendimento de que a Educação Ambiental deve ser uma prática intencionalizada e coerente, este trabalho se propõe a realizar uma revisão bibliográfica que articule o campo teórico da Educação Ambiental com o da Educação Infantil, a fim de observar os limites e as possibilidades da prática docente ao tratar da construção ou apropriação de valores. Assim, os seguintes questionamentos norteiam a pesquisa: que práticas docentes podem ser identificadas em relação à apropriação de valores? Elas abarcam a temática ambiental? Em que contextos são pesquisadas? A Educação Infantil é um desses contextos? Para tal discussão foram levantados nove artigos internacionais, que levam o leitor a compreender que as práticas docentes em relação aos valores ensinados são distintas de um artigo para outro: sendo dois deles como prática moral, três como construção, dois como socialização, um como formação de hábitos e um como clarificação. Apenas dois dos artigos não abarcam a temática ambiental. Em relação ao contexto de pesquisa, neste levantamento os artigos estão assim distribuídos: cinco destinados à Infância - Educação Básica, um trata da Educação básica com adolescentes e três destinados ao Ensino Superior. Portanto, concluiu-se que a Educação Infantil é um dos contextos em que a Educação Ambiental tem sido pesquisada, principalmente, no que se refere à apropriação de valores pertinentes à temática ambiental. Palavras-chave: Educação Moral. Meio Ambiente. Infância. AbstractBased on the understanding that Environmental Education should be an intentional and coherent practice, this paper proposes to perform a literature review that articulates the theoretical field of Environmental Education with that of Early Childhood Education, in order to observe the limits and possibilities of teaching practice, when dealing with the value construction or appropriation. Thus, the following questions guide the research: What  teaching practices can be identified in relation to the values appropriation ? Do they cover the environmental theme? In what contexts are they researched? Is early childhood education one of these contexts? For this discussion nine international articles were raised, which lead the reader to understand that teaching practices in relation to the values taught are distinct from one article to another: two of them as moral practice, three as construction, two as socialization, one as habits formation and one as clarification. Only two of the articles do not cover the environmental theme. Regarding the research context, in this survey the articles are directed to: five for Childhood - Basic Education, one for Basic Education with adolescents and three for Higher Education. Therefore, it was concluded that early childhood education is one of the contexts in which environmental education has been researched, especially regarding the appropriation of values relevant to the environmental theme. Keywords: Moral Education.

This article considers opportunities and risks arising from the prominence of the belonging motif in Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework and, more implicitly, in the National Quality Standard, against which the quality of the early childhood education and care services is assessed. A vignette constructed from case study data generated in the babies’ room in an early childhood centre in an Aboriginal community in rural Queensland is used to illuminate some of these opportunities and risks.

Full Picture

Early childhood teachers’ professional learning and development (PLD) is a significant factor in the provision of quality early childhood education (ECE), yet gaining a full picture of PLD in the New Zealand ECE context is problematic. Information about government-funded PLD programmes is available through evaluations, however, teachers access PLD from a range of providers, many of whom are not government-funded, nor subject to regular monitoring for quality. Teachers’ reports, therefore, represent important sources of insight into PLD. We surveyed New Zealand early childhood teachers about their experiences of PLD, including topics, delivery, and facilitation. We analysed 345 responses. Workshops were the most commonly experienced PLD model. Many respondents had also experienced job-embedded support, but may not have experienced the types of facilitation strategies likely to prompt shifts in teaching practice. This article reports the survey results, examines implications and discusses features of PLD that support shifts in teaching practice.

O texto apresentado toma como ponto de partida o processo transitório da Educação Infantil para o Ensino Fundamental a fim de compreender como a formação pode contribuir para o estabelecimento de diálogos. Baseia-se nas contribuições de Cruz (2012) e Saviani (2007) para abordar o caráter da pedagogia em sua dimensão teórica e prática e, Nóvoa (2017), no sentido de olharmos para a prática docente comoposições entre os sujeitos e seus conhecimentos, assim como em demais autores relevantes. Propõe que a prática docente, no processo de transição da Educação Infantil para o Ensino Fundamental, instaure possibilidades significativas ,  configurando-se como acontecimentos em transição e nestes, estabeleça potencialidades da prática nos encontros em espaços de enunciações. The text presented takes as a starting point the transitional process from Early Childhood Education to Elementary Education in order to understand how training cancontribute to the establishment of dialogues. It is based on the contributions of Cruz (2012) and Saviani (2007) to approach the character of pedagogy in its theoretical andpractical dimension, in Nóvoa (2017) in order to look at teaching practice as positions between subjects and their knowledge, as well as in other relevant authors. It proposes that the teaching practice in the process of transition from Early Childhood Education to Elementary Education establishes significant possibilities as events in transition, in these, the potentiality of practice lies in the meetings in spaces of enunciations.
