European Early Childhood Education Research Association
(EECERA) is an independent, self-governing international association that
promotes research in early childhood. It is a nonprofit that has a worldwide
membership. It shares information on traditional early childhood thoughts and
explores new ideas in the ever changing world of early childhood. They hold the
largest early childhood conference in Europe.
The first article that I found was “Introducing children's
perspectives and participation in research”. It discusses that young children
have the competence to engage in research that they important thoughts and
communicate well on behave of children about their world. The next article was
about 0-3, Understanding children from 0 to 3 years of age and its implications
for education. What’s new on the babies’ side? Origins and evolutions. I really liked this website and association
it seems very much like our National Association Education for Young Children
(NAEYC).

Dear Joy,
ReplyDeleteIntroducing Children's Perspective and Participation in Research sound very related to some of our course work this week.
I will have to take a look at this website when I get a chance. I found the Early Childhood Australia website to be excellent !

Hello,
ReplyDeleteGreat Post! Yes, children do have important thoughts that can add benefit to research. In the view of education, if teachers and other educators are trying to make “school” better for children then why not go directly to the source. This will entirely help and shift the actual notion of research and truly change the field of education.

Joy,
ReplyDeleteThis is the site I also chose and I found it to be very informative. It shared some very interesting and relevant data to this weeks’ assignments.
After reading your post about young children and the importance of having them engage in research that about their world makes so much sense. I plan to go to the site and read more. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI reviewed the exact same website and I was impressed to find out all of the information that I found on this website. Their most recent article on children and research is exactly what we are studying now. Great post.
