Book Description
This book originated from an awareness of the persistent lack of knowledge supporting a more respectful reception and approach to the youngest in our changing societies. It follows initiatives of networks of researchers from several countries, sharing insights from current studies carried out in their different cultures. Introduced by a state of art review-like chapter on birth to 3 literature, the book, which can be pictured as a composition, begins with a journey inside the creativity of these young persons and a picture of a companionable learning. It deals with the role of the spatial and physical dimensions of the setting and pictures how the educator can create meaningful participation and launch early exercises in democracy, with respect for diversities. It provides a deeper understanding of a pedagogical accompaniment based on ‘participatory alliance’ and of the development of communication and language. The text will be a useful addition to researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Early Childhood Education Research Journal.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Le terme “Service” a orienté les travaux de recherche et de formation lors du XIIIème Congrès de l'Association Internationale de Formation et de Recherche en Education Familiale (AIFREF). Il s'agissait, en l'occurrence, de se mettre au service de la petite enfance. L'acte qui consiste à se consacrer au service d'un être qui chemine sur la voie de l'autonomie a pris une consistance et une importance sans cesse croissantes au cours du développement de la modernité. Aujourd'hui, celle-ci connaît une profonde mutation : entrant dans la postmodernité, nous constatons que la notion de service prend un tout autre sens. Pour mieux être au service de l'enfance, il s'agit maintenant de savoir ce qui peut lui être utile. Qu'est-ce qui permet à l'enfant de grandir et de s'émanciper? Et, dès lors, quels services convient-il de rendre à l'enfance? Quelles sont la relevance, l'efficience, l'efficacité et la durabilité de ces services délibérément conçus et opérationnalisés? Ces questions ont fait l'objet d'une mise en examen et ont orienté les travaux du XIIIème Congrès de l'AIFREF.

Book Description
′This informative and wide-ranging book argues persuasively for the value of multiple perspectives, both international and disciplinary, in the study and practice of early childhood education, because they feed our imaginations and provoke us to think. And while illustrating the many differences that exist between countries, it highlights the shared issues confronting us, wherever we live.′ - Emeritus Professor Peter Moss, Institute of Education, University of London Stemming from original research in the field, a range of expert contributors explore the key themes and debates surrounding international perspectives on Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). Drawing on studies carried out in Norway, Mexico, France, Hungary and many more countries, the book covers a wide range of topics including: the relationship between early childhood and primary education gender and play in ECEC curriculum inclusion early interventions working with families place-based learning With case studies, detailed suggestions for further reading at different levels and discussion points, this is a key text for students of Early Years at all levels, from Foundation Degree to Masters, as well as current early years practitioners. Linda Miller is Professor Emeritus of Early Years, The Open University. Claire Cameron is Senior Reader in Education at the Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of Education, University of London.

Book Description
La 4e de couverture indique: Le terme « curriculum » figure en bonne place dans les textes internationaux, il mérite d’être ainsi reconnu et utilisé par les acteurs français qui souhaitent participer à la réflexion collective sur l’ensemble des objectifs, valeurs, normes qui sous-tendent et encadrent les pratiques d’accueil et d’éducation. La qualité de l’accueil des jeunes enfants ne se réduit pas à la définition de normes quantifiables (espaces, encadrement, notamment). La qualité est une notion pluridimensionnelle ; sa définition relève d’un processus participatif de construction d'un socle commun de valeurs et de principes pédagogiques. C’est dans le sens de la définition − jamais définitive, toujours contextualisée − de ce socle commun, qui ne peut être dénué d’éthique, que souhaite avancer cet ouvrage constitué d'une diversité de voix. À travers le curriculum se joue peut-être une utopie en marche, celle qui consiste à renouveler le rapport social à l’enfant, aux parents, mais aussi au sein même des équipes, entre les équipes et leurs gestionnaires : revisiter les paradigmes qui fondent l’acte pédagogique ; écrire autrement le sens des pratiques ; redéfinir les objectifs politiques de la fonction sociale des lieux d’accueil de la petite enfance ; ouvrir l’espace des contenus éducatifs et pédagogiques ; positionner cet espace comme un véritable enjeu politique.

Book Description
Le terme curriculum est peu usité en France dans le secteur de la petite enfance alors qu'il est largement employé dans les échanges internationaux. II désigne l'ensemble des objectifs, valeurs, normes qui sous-tendent et encadrent les pratiques d'accueil et d'éducation. La qualité de l'accueil des jeunes enfants ne se réduit pas à la définition de normes quantifiables (espaces, encadrement, notamment). La qualité est une notion pluridimensionnelle ; sa définition relève d'un processus participatif de construction d'un socle commun de valeurs et de principes pédagogiques. C'est dans le sens de la définition - jamais définitive, toujours contextualisée - de ce socle commun, qui ne peut être dénué d'éthique, que souhaite avancer cet ouvrage constitué d'une diversité de voix.

Les auteurs, praticiens, chercheurs, responsables, élus, parents, explorent ici ces voies dans le but d'améliorer la qualité de l'accueil due aux jeunes enfants et à leurs parents.

Book Description
This book examines how quality and good practice in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is interpreted and implemented in a variety of settings and circumstances. Drawing on her experience of research and policy making in a wide variety of countries, the author considers the variety of rationales that inform services for early childhood education and care. Services are organized, financed and delivered in many different ways across the world. The policies that have been adopted by governments, and the resources which are made available for implementing them, have shaped practice. On the one hand there are complex ideas about what children should be learning and how they should be learning. These ideas about curriculum and the training of teachers and carers may differ radically between countries. On the other hand policies have been prompted by the need to reconcile family and work obligations and to provide childcare to support working mothers, irrespective of educational concerns. The notions of economic competition and parental choice have led to the growth of private for-profit childcare services which promote a particular view of quality and achievement. Above all, growing inequality within countries, and between rich and poor countries, have undermined attempts to provide good quality services. In an unfair world, the impact of any services is likely to be distorted. The book charts the many different approaches to understanding and measuring quality and gives an exceptionally well-informed overview.
