Research Around the World


The website that I chose to explore is http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/ and I have found some of the research topics to include Learning and teaching through play, Learning from High/scope, Diversity and difference: Lighting the spirit of identity, Engaging families” Building strong communication and many more.

 

One thing that surprised me through exploring this site and looking for what they are researching is that many of the topics researched in Australia are topics that we research here in the United States. Some insights gained while exploring the site include how many topics for research and supporting best practices include many areas of behaviors and emotions for young children.  

 

I enjoyed exploring this website because it was easy to navigate and had plenty of information on early childhood issues both for research and knowledge of the early childhood field. I have started to read the research papers on curriculums, but did not get to finish them yet, but I do look forward to it.

  1. Hi Elizabeth,
    The website I chose to write about was the European Early Childhood Education Research Association. I noticed that play and curriculum were among the many topics being researched in Europe as well. After having explored each of the international websites, I also discovered that the topics being researched are topics that are being researched here in the United States. All of the international websites I have explored thus far have the same goal which is to enhance policy and practice so that children can receive the best care and education possible. Thanks for sharing.

  2. I see that the sites provided for us all tie into what we were doing here in the United States. I am really glad to see that. I stated in my post that this is good information to know because when conducting research this is a great support system and reference to state that child development is just that child development all around the world and DAP is just that DAP!!!!!!!
