Early Childhood Australia
As I explored some of the International websites this week, I have noted an extensive amount of innovative research dedicated to early childhood. I have given more time to explore Early Childhood Australia, which looks into critical topics that affect children, parents, and early childhood education.
New Ideas
I have explored the link to The Australasian Journal of Early Childhood (AJEC), which is Australasia's foremost scholarly journal that offers research-based articles that aspire to make significant contributions to the early childhood field. It includes a broad range of ideas and various perspectives shared by early childhood professionals and students, adding broad insights into contemporary early childhood education. The articles examined critical elements that influence the ECF. Some examples of research that caught my attention are: diversity, inter cultural relationships, child-centered curriculum, inclusion, social relationships at school, bilingualism, the effects of Art education on children, etc....
Reflection
There were numerous studies on topics that are not well documented, which makes it worthwhile to explore at length. Studies that focus on designing lessons for technology and the implications for early childhood educators’ knowledge of the technological understandings the children have are examples of such research. While I could not find free articles to explore, I have found several articles that I could easily access through the Walden Library, and I was quite grateful for that.
I also enjoyed exploring and reading about the resources available in Australia for early childhood children. The site was easy to navigate and I learned some vital information about Australia and how they educate children.

ReplyDeleteI also chose the same website to explore. I found that Early Childhood Australia website offers great resources and information that directed to address various issues affecting children’s education, care, families, and early childhood field. Their website is very interesting and beneficial for everyone who cares about improving the quality of learning for all children.
I think diversity would be a huge issue in child development. Thank you for the information in this website, and I'm sure we can all learn from it. Thank you.
