Research Around the World

Research tells us that an educator’s pedagogy is one of

the most important aspects when assessing the quality of children’s learning. So early childhood educators need to carefully consider and question their pedagogy and corresponding practices.

 

I chosse Early Childhood Australia: This is the Australian equivalent to the U.S. based NAEYC. You can access several links to early childhood research from the menu on the left side of the home page.

Some of the International Topics of research are:

Research Implication for Preschool early literacy instruction.

Quality Care and education through neurobiological research.

The brain research Early Childhood Australia.

Why play based learning? Early Childhood Australia

Australian an British Research into childhood obesity.

There are some topics of research that have valuable information about the good development of the children ,and the importance of the brain development in the early years of life, the Quality care, good relationships, early literacy instruction, play is important for learn.  For me all the topics are important because they all have to do with the proper development and growth of children.

·         the early childhood researcher can make research practice more transparent and assist children to participate more effectively, as collaborators rather than as subjects.

Information That I found about an important website that help parents and care givers:

“Talaris” is committed to supporting parents and caregivers by sharing the latest findings and most current research in early childhood development.

Teaching strategies has acquired the Parenting Counts product line, our research-based family of products designed to support parents and caregivers in raising socially and emotionally healthy children.

 The goal for Talaris has always been to help parents and caregivers understand that learning begins at birth, the foundation for lifelong learning and relationships rests on the social and emotional development from birth to five, and the parent-child relationship is the most essential factor in a child’s healthy development. In the early years, our emphasis was funding research at the University of Washington. We created the Center for Mind, Brain and Learning (CMBL), which later became the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS), and made John Gottman’s Bringing Baby Home project possible.

We developed Parenting Counts, a compilation of resources and materials to help parents and caregivers learn to interact with children in everyday situations.
