Over the years, it has been demonstrated that nature is a very important pillar in learning. Outdoor education is an innovative pedagogical approach that is gaining prominence and brings numerous benefits to the students who receive it. Previous studies have tried to show the positive relationship between education and nature and its benefits for children, but only a few reports refer to the specific perception of teachers on this issue, as well as possible differences according to the location of the school. Thus, taking into account the research questions, this paper aims to identify, analyze, and interpret the perception of early childhood education teachers in the Spanish region of Extremadura about outdoor educational practices. For this purpose, attention is paid to the implementation, difficulties, training, or area in which these outdoor educational practices take place, considering the location of the school. Findings showed that teachers are aware of the benefits of outdoor education, but most of them have not received specific training on it, perceive difficulties in carrying them out, or only carry them out at school. As a result, some differences can be perceived depending on the location of the school. Therefore, these results should make us change our perception of education and be able to propose alternatives, involving all the agents and participants of the education system and being aware of the benefits of outdoor education.

Práticas pós-colonialistas na educação infantil são práticas que se esperam tornarem-se efetivas, para além de um referencial, ou seja, abarquem uma concepção de profissionalidade que se inicie na formação inicial, em cursos de pedagogia, no componente curricular de Estágio. A pesquisa organiza reflexões sobre as práticas educativas estagiais com as crianças de 0 a 5 anos. Problematizando: quais práticas são evidenciadas no dia a dia das escolas de educação infantil? São de imposições adultas ou aquelas que valorizam e evidenciam as vozes e os corpos infantis? O referencial é a teoria pós-colonialista na educação e o estágio, enquanto campo do conhecimento. A metodologia, de natureza qualitativa utiliza-se da pesquisa bibliográfica. Os resultados indicam que nas práticas estagiais há um distanciamento de uma proposta pós-colonialista; há uma centralidade na professora e uma reprodução do modelo de ensino fundamental, o que exige conhecimentos do referencial pós-colonialista, numa perspectiva de inovação educacional.Palavras-chave: Teoria Pós-Colonialista.

The research organizes reflections on the statistical educational practices with children from 0 to 5 years old. Problematizing: what practices are evident in the day-to-day of kindergarten schools? Are they from adult impositions or those that value and evidence voices and children's bodies? The referential is postcolonialist theory in education and the internship as a field of knowledge. The methodology, of a qualitative nature, is used in bibliographical research. The results indicate that in the statistical practices there is a distancing from a postcolonialist proposal; there is a centrality in the teacher and a reproduction of the model of fundamental education, which requires knowledge of the postcolonialist framework, in a perspective of educational innovation.Keywords: Post-Colonialist Theory.

The reflections around teacher training and the means by which it is treated in the educational contexts have major importance, due to the urgency of the topic as well as the multiplicity of ways to be dealt along with the teachers. From researches of images production, developed with children and teachers in the ambit of early childhood education, this text will reflect on the formative processes of teachers in the childhood education. In this context, there are a few relevant questions: what can the image do in the formative processes? In which ways may the teacher training help us to think about the childhood and the educational practices with little children? By which means may the childhood help us to think the work of teacher training. In this way, using the produced images, this text aims to operate in the circulation movement of the thought itself, in which the thought can, in its exteriority, experiment with words (language), childhood, image and teacher training, enabling ruptures to think about the child, the educators, the school, the knowledge, the doing, the powers, the action protocols, what to do with the children and how to deal with them, composing possibilities that overflow what is determined and legalized. As theoretical basis, we take authors such as G. Agamben, G. Deleuze e Michel Foucault.

This article focuses on Korean early childhood education in the global and postcolonial context. Special attention is paid to Western and traditional beliefs and practices of childhood education projected by the postings on the walls of an early childhood institution in Korea. Three major features found on the walls of the early childhood institution – that is, collective postings, socially appropriate practices, and rules for self-regulation – are interpreted in terms of the layers of educational practices that consist of Korean early childhood education. This article discusses how Korean early childhood education ‘consumes' the outside influences in order to increase its educational competitiveness in the global context, while maintaining traditional educational practices.
