Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Research on Coronavirus Disease 2019 COVID 19 in Early Childhood Education written by Olivia Saracho and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is also known as SARS-CoV-2, has had a great impact in early childhood education programs. Since the effect of this epidemic was new, and little research had been conducted, this volume is devoted to understanding mutual and contemporary themes in the impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in early childhood education. Early childhood education (ECE) centers encountered unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 crisis. Comprehensive reviews of the literature, descriptions of programs or situations, and research studies provided accounts of current situations in early childhood education including programs and individuals who were working with young children whose ages ranged from birth to eight years of age. The chapters in this special volume discuss how early childhood education faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 crisis and demonstrate the breadth and theoretical effectiveness of this domain. This volume provides a brief introduction that acknowledges the valuable contributions of these chapters to the impact of this pandemic in early childhood education and offers a valuable tool to practitioners and researchers who are conducting studies on the impact of COVID-19. At the beginning of the year 2020, after a December 2019 outburst in China, the World Health Organization acknowledged SARS-CoV-2 as a different kind of coronavirus. It immediately multiplied around the world, mostly through person-to-person contact. Infections ranged from mild to deadly. COVID-19 can cause a respiratory tract infection such as ones sinuses, nose, and throat or lower respiratory tract such as ones windpipe and lungs (World Health Organization, 2020a). On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) affirmed that COVID-19 had become a public health emergency causing an international problem. By March 12, 2020, everybody was aware of this pandemic. It also created an understanding about this first-time consciousness in research about this disease, which generated an immense publication production. It also became the basis for this special volume.

Download or read book Thoughts Unlocked written by G. Sreenivasan and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pandemic made us all sad, mute and tremble with fear. We locked the entire world one day and isolated ourselves from each other. This book Thoughts Unlocked – Lockdown Days Musings is a perfect riposte to a pandemic that has rendered the humans voiceless. Writer Sreenivasan ruminates on how the pandemic made a larger impact on his life and those around him. It would give the reader an insight into how a human mind works when, one day, the world closes all its doors and puts us all under house arrest. This book tells the stories of the past, present and future. It seems autobiographical and fictitious at times. It may lack in order of things, but is written in a language that is lucid, mild, straight and with a grand touch of humour. The thoughts the writer shares here would create in every reader a ponderous urgency to look back to the lives we had in the past. This book is a definite read and should be a great help in the freeing of our thoughts and presumptions

Book excerpt: These are confusing and stressful times. Already in the 21st century, the United States has experienced a major recession, mass shootings, large-scale natural disasters, and multiple coordinated terrorist attacks.Now we are struggling to come to grips with a global pandemic. The wide-ranging effects of the coronavirus has indeed brought the lives of hundreds of millions, if not billions of people to a screeching halt. There's also a sharp political divide and we're plummeting into a steep economic downturn, if not a depression. Businesses have been decimated amidst the highest unemployment rate in decades.This massively traumatic event and public health disaster is impacting all of us. However, our reactions to terrible experiences are uniquely individual. Increased job loss, family discord, and deaths -- all related to COVID-19 --are but a few distressing events that have triggered diverse negative emotional reactions in our society. Given these issues, nobody should assume this situation will conclude neatly.In fact, some research indicates a three-fold rise in cases of depression and anxiety since the start of COVID-19. And doctors have noticed some unusual medical conditions secondary to the virus, i.e., heart attacks, strokes, respiratory issues, and neurological conditions. This book explores the coronavirus pandemic by presenting, in chronological order, 11 of my social media posts. Themes covered range from coping with loss to living your best life and everything in-between.Herein, I've provided you with opportunities to emotionally process and discuss your COVID-19 concerns with those closest to you. I think you will find that a combination of healthy self-reflection and constructive communication will decrease fear, interpersonal isolation, and feelings of emotional discomfort.
