What are some of the current research topics?
The research topics included
1)
Getting the balance right: The challenge of
balancing praise and correction for early childhood year’s children who exhibit
oppositional and defiant behavior.
2)
Young Children’s beliefs about including others
in their play: Social and moral reasoning about inclusion and exclusion.
3)
Building foundations for numeracy: A qualitative
analysis of the basic concept knowledge demonstrated by young deaf children.
4)
The use of technology to facilitate music
learning experiences in preschoolers.
5)
Professionals don’t play: Challenges for early childhood
educators working in a trans disciplinary early intervention team.
I gained new insights and ideas
about research in early childhood. Some of these new insights that I have
gained is the Australian’s approach to research to early childhood. Although
the topics covers research topics that relate to issues such as play,
diversity, transitions I have come to recognize that they use research to
support best practices and unravel even issues that might seem minute or
insignificant in the field of early childhood. This website is a good ground
and provides support for a beginner
researcher like myself to explore for information in the field of early childhood.
The website is quite is to
manipulate and subscribe to. Australia I believe is one of the leading giants
in the field of early childhood research and the more time spent in exploring the
website is the more we can gain from the website and apply it to our own
situations.
Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed with this website. I loved that the many research articles on this site focused on education around the world. I made sure I bookmarked this website because I will be visiting it often.
Australia does seem to have impressive research and programs put in place in regards to early education and parent involvement. Although I didn't pick this site, I will make sure to look at it later after reading your post.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeleteI explored this site as well. I found some information on promoting professionalism interesting as well. I thought the site had some very useful topics, such as play and technology. I think the site offers a lot of sound and useful information that we, as professionals, can apply to children. Good post!
Great information and useful topics
