Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international handbook gives a comprehensive overview of findings from longstanding and contemporary research, theory, and practices in early childhood education in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The first volume of the handbook addresses theory, methodology, and the research activities and research needs of particular regions. The second volume examines in detail innovations and longstanding programs, curriculum and assessment, and conceptions and research into child, family and communities. The two volumes of this handbook address the current theory, methodologies and research needs of specific countries and provide insight into existing global similarities in early childhood practices. By paying special attention to what is happening in the larger world contexts, the volumes provide a representative overview of early childhood education practices and research, and redress the current North-South imbalance of published work on the subject.

Download or read book Early Child Education written by David K. Evans and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past fifteen years, Brazil has made great strides in increasing its population's access to early child education, with both preschool and creche enrollment increasing by over fifty percent. Education programs for young children have consistently been shown to have long-term positive effects on life outcomes of participants. In Brazil, these programs have demonstrated positive impacts on, for example, income, length of schooling, and test scores. However, the quality of pre-schools and creches is essential in achieving these improvements, and even in capital cities, very few centers are rated as high-quality centers. Representation of the poorest and most vulnerable children among those attending pre-school and creche still lags considerably behind that of more privileged children, although poorer children stand to gain the most from early child education programs. Additionally, large rural-urban and regional disparities exist. This book details the literature on the effects of early child education and the importance of quality, and gives a comprehensive view of the quality, regional, and socioeconomic gaps in early child education in Brazil. It further examines existing public and private initiatives in Brazil, and discusses how they can be leveraged to effectively and efficiently provide quality pre-school and creche care. A central aim of the book is to provide policymakers with specific recommendations of policies to improve the quality and equity of the early child education experience in Brazil. Given the difficulty in reaching children in remote areas and the need to expand coverage to the poorest segments of the population, Brazil will need to be strategic in how and where it invests. It should target new centers and allocate existing spaces to the poorest people and areas. Municipal policymakers should allocate public spaces in a transparent manner, provide guidelines to institutions, and monitor them. Teachers need guidance on the best activities to use, to improve child outcomes. The use of participatory budgeting could potentially improve access and equity by involving the poor directly in the budgeting process. Increased cross-sectoral coordination could improve child welfare in cost-effective ways, and public-private partnerships could stretch existing resources further and expand coverage more quickly.

This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nas últimas três décadas, muitos países da América Latina e Caribe reconheceram a saúde como um direito humano. Desde o início dos anos 2000, 46 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados recebem cobertura de programas de saúde com direitos explícitos a atendimento. Essas reformas foram acompanhadas por um aumento do gasto público com saúde, financiado em grande medida pelas receitas gerais que priorizam ou visam explicitamente a população que não tem capacidade de pagamento. O compromisso político em geral se traduziu em orçamentos maiores e na aprovação de legislação que insula recursos para a saúde. Muitos países priorizaram o atendimento de saúde primária com boa relação de custo-benefício e adotaram métodos de pagamento que incentivam a eficiência e a prestação de contas por resultados, proporcionando à s autoridades do setor de saúde mais poder para induzir os prestadores a cumprirem as prioridades de saúde pública. Apesar do progresso, ainda persistem disparidades no financiamento e na prestação de serviços de qualidade entre os subsistemas de saúde. Cumprir o compromisso da cobertura universal de saúde exigirá esforços concertados para melhorar a geração de receitas de formal fiscalmente sustentável e aumentar a produtividade em termos de despesas. Em Rumo a uma Cobertura Universal de Saúde e Equidade na América Latina e Caribe: Evidência de Países Selecionados, os autores mostram que a evidência da análise de 54 pesquisas domiciliares corrobora que os investimentos para ampliar a cobertura de saúde estão gerando resultados. Embora os pobres ainda apresentem resultados de saúde piores que os riscos, as disparidades diminuíram consideravelmente — em particular nos estágios iniciais da vida. Os países alcançaram altos níveis de cobertura e equidade na utilização de serviços de saúde materna e infantil. O quadro tem mais nuanças e não é tão positivo quando se trata da situação de saúde dos adultos e da prevalência de doenças e condições crônicas de saúde. A cobertura para doenças não transmissíveis não é alta e continua a pender mais para os mais abastados. A prevalência de doenças não transmissíveis não ocorreu como esperado, tendo em vista a queda na mortalidade; o melhor acesso a serviços de diagnósticos entre as pessoas mais riscas pode estar mascarando mudanças na prevalência efetiva. Gastos catastróficos com saúde caíram na maior parte dos países. No entanto, o quadro com respeito à equidade é mais misto e indica limitações na medição. Embora a taxa de empobrecimento em razão de gastos com saúde seja baixa ou em declínio, 2 a 4 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados ainda ficam abaixo da linha da pobreza em razões de gastos com saúde. Esforços de monitoramento sistemático da qualidade do atendimento de saúde na região são ainda incipientes. No entanto, a análise da literatura revela deficiências importantes na qualidade da saúde, bem como diferenças substanciais entre os subsistemas. Melhorar a qualidade do atendimento e garantir a sustentabilidade dos investimentos em saúde continuam a ser itens pendentes da agenda.

Download or read book International Handbook of Language Acquisition written by Jessica Horst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do children acquire language? How does real life language acquisition differ from results found in controlled environments? And how is modern life challenging established theories? Going far beyond laboratory experiments, the International Handbook of Language Acquisition examines a wide range of topics surrounding language development to shed light on how children acquire language in the real world. The foremost experts in the field cover a variety of issues, from the underlying cognitive processes and role of language input to development of key language dimensions as well as both typical and atypical language development. Horst and Torkildsen balance a theoretical foundation with data acquired from applied settings to offer a truly comprehensive reference book with an international outlook. The International Handbook of Language Acquisition is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in language acquisition across developmental psychology, developmental neuropsychology, linguistics, early childhood education, and communication disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning of the 19th century, around 1810 a path connecting Santo Antonio de Piracicaba to Villa Sao Carlos de Campinas was opened in a place that was still uninhabited, known as "Toledos Region". The region was covered with a dense growth of trees and a large supply of water. The soil was exceptional for cultivation and the region started to be sought by farmers. Mrs. Margarida da Graçía Martins from Santos, a widow of sergeant Francisco de Paula Martins, was one of those who around 1817 acquired a plot of uncultivated land, bordering on the north the Piracicaba river and on the northeast direction the Quilombo river. She came with her children, relatives and slaves to start a farm and a sugar mill and that was the start of a village. Mrs. Margarida donated land to Cria Paulistana for the construction of a chapel in honor of Saint Barbara, which was built in 1818, year that marked the foundation of Santa Bárbara. This is the history and architecture of the growth.
