I chose to research the European Early Childhood Education Research Association for this week’s blog assignment. The EECERA is an independent, self-governing, international association which promotes and disseminates multi-disciplinary research on early childhood and its applications to policy and practice. This was a particularly interesting assignment for me this week because it coincides with my issues and trends class that I am also taking. Early childhood is not just a hot topic in America; it is being talked about everywhere, to include Europe. I am particularly interested in studying European early childhood education because I grew up in Europe and I have family that lives there. On this particular site, there was an article discussing child and researchers and what the best practices are. This was coincidental because that was a part of this week’s discussion. There were several other research topics that are listed on this site. They range from technological topics to political topics. I really liked how several research topics related to linguistics and how speaking in multiple languages benefits a child. The thing I liked most about this site is that involves all European countries and not just one. It is interesting to see different countries come together and share their insights and challenges.

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteWhen you lived in Europe, were you a military family? Did you attend the local schools or did you attend a base school?
What country did you live in?
It is interesting how world wide early childhood education and services are becoming. I spent time in Africa, in a very poor country. There it did not seems as education was important to them but many of the surrounding countries are very much on board.
Thanks for your blog.
