This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the unique and dynamic approaches to key issues of changing images of child and childhood, by different countries in the Asia-Pacific. Key concepts considered are re-conceptualizing early childhood education and care, re-eaxming early learning standards and redefining professionalism. The Asia Pacific region includes countries belonging to both the Majority and Minority worlds and which vary widely in terms of their cultural geography, social-cultural beliefs, and levels of development, demographic profiles, political systems and government commitments to early childhood services. An international team of experienced researchers from different countries guarantees diverse perspectives. By examining different countries’ policy choices and evidence-based practices, the authors show how best to provide for young children based on their countries’ strategies.
Download or read book Early Childhood and the Asian American Experience written by Sohyun "Soh" Meacham and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential and urgent book presents research-based understandings about Asian American early childhood, bringing to light the battle Asian Americans face against American nativism from their early years’ experiences. The first of its kind in academic literature, the book addresses the well-known issue of underrepresentation of Asian Americans in early childhood education research and practice, and in American society in general. Using the intersectionality and multiple identities perspectives, the authors explore a myriad of inaccurate cultural perceptions and misrepresentations, centering within-group differences among Asian American children and giving particular attention to disempowered groups among them. Issues related to socioeconomic status, gender, dis/abilities, linguistic backgrounds, and minority groups among Asian American populations are addressed, with implications for researchers and educators as well as context for examining the policies that cause inequities among Asian American children. This book is key reading for early childhood education researchers, professors, and graduate students to become more productively engaged in discussions and practices toward racial justice.

Download or read book Diverse Early Childhood Education Policies and Practices written by Amita Gupta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diverse Early Childhood Education Policies and Practices explores issues in early childhood education and teacher preparation in five Asian countries: India, Singapore, China, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Some observed classrooms in these countries reflect influences that are simultaneously indigenous and colonial, local and global. By highlighting the diverse and often hybrid classroom pedagogies at work in these 21st century Asian classrooms, the discussions in this book take into consideration the influence of globalization on local policies and practices, and the challenge educators face when they are expected to reconcile different and sometimes conflicting cultural and pedagogical world views. Through a research-driven analysis of key issues such as recent revisions to national early childhood education policies, perceptions on "play-based and child-centered" pedagogy, curriculum and learning materials, and an emphasis on the teaching of values, this book illuminates the diversity of the observed classrooms as well as current trends in early childhood education in parts of Asia. The cross-national perspective serves to expand and diversify the global discourse of early childhood education and teacher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special edition of the Educational Communications and Technology Yearbook Series bears a title of “Learning Environment and Design: Current and Future Impact”. It provides a timely forum to share theoretical and practical insights in both the local and international contexts in response to the fact that new media and technologies have infiltrated and shaped the learning environments from mere physical spaces into multifaceted possibilities, impacting the ways individuals teach and learn. Designs of learning environments to harness technologies appropriately to engage learners better, as well as the roles of learners and educators play in this changing learning environment, are examples of important global issues in the discourse of the contemporary educational developments. Having gathered a diverse collection of research papers written by scholars and practitioners in the fields of education, communication and humanities across Asia, Australasia, Europe and the United States, this book gives readers a cross-cultural background on the developments of technological designs and educational practices, investigating areas in redefining of quality education; online learning and blended learning; new media in education; gamification, AI, and innovative learning technologies. Aimed to catalyze knowledge exchanges and provide fresh views on interdisciplinary research, the book sheds light on how emerging technologies can be adapted in the fields of education and communication, so as to facilitate the current and future designs of learning environments to improve learners’ performances.

Download or read book Life Wide Learning and Early Reading Development in Twelve African and Asian Sites written by Amy Jo Dowd and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the international education community has focused on schools as the primary vehicle of learning. However, learning assessments in dozens of developing nations show that repeated attempts to affect student learning in schools have largely failed. Because students with perfect attendance in low-resource settings spend less than 25 percent of their time in a classroom, even if educational quality is excellent, focusing only on school-bound factors is inadequate to optimize learning. This paper delves into the relationships between children's reading abilities and the enabling environment for learning in the context of Save the Children's Literacy Boost program. The authors conceptualize the enabling environment at a micro level, with two components: (1) the home literacy environment, represented by reading materials and habits at home, and (2) the community learning environment, represented by community reading activities. Specifically, the research hypotheses explored are: (1) At baseline, the enabling environment of the home, specifically reading materials and literacy habits, are positively associated with students' reading achievement, controlling for relevant demographic and school characteristics; and (2) At endline, the amount of community reading activities in which a student participates is positively associated with students' reading gains, controlling for baseline reading achievement and HLE, as well as relevant demographic and school characteristics. Data for this cross-country analysis comes from schools in Bangladesh, Burundi, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Malawi, the Philippines, and Rwanda where Save the Children and World Vision have partnered with teachers, administrators, and communities to implement Literacy Boost. The sample for this cross-country analysis consists of 6,874 students in grades 1-4 from 12 different Literacy Boost project sites around the world, including East Africa (Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, and Ethiopia), South Asia (Bangladesh), and Southeast Asia (Indonesia and the Philippines). Approximately half of the sample in each site consists of students who attended Literacy Boost program schools, while the remaining students attended schools that did not receive Literacy Boost, thus serving as a comparison group for the study. The data comes from an experimental or quasi-experimental design depending on the site. In sites where an experimental design was used, clusters of schools were randomly assigned to treatment or control. Reading assessment, Home Literacy Environment (HLE) and background data were collected at baseline (prior to program implementation) and endline (at the end of program implementation). The results of this paper suggest that interventions should pay greater attention to home and community learning environments. Additionally, future research should aim to tease apart the impact of particular elements of effective life-wide learning interventions through a focus on collecting detailed implementation data, exploring reading skill development in low-resource settings qualitatively, and studying how home and community learning environment interventions differ in effectiveness across different low-resource settings. Two tables are appended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood: Pedagogies of Inquiry and Relationships is an introduction for early childhood educators beginning their studies. Reflecting the fact that there is no single correct approach to the challenges of teaching, this book explores teaching through two lenses: teaching as inquiry and teaching as relating. The first part of the book focuses on inquiry, covering early childhood learning environments, learning theories, play pedagogies, approaches to teaching and learning, documentation and assessment, and the policy, curriculum and regulatory requirements in Australia. The second part explores relationships in early childhood contexts and covers topics such as fostering meaningful and respectful relationships with children, and working with families, staff and the wider community. Written by well-respected academics in the field, Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood is a vital resource for those entering the early childhood education and care profession.
