Curriculum Development for Early Childhood Education

Book Description
At the Re-Thinking Pacific Education colloquium held at the University of the South Pacific in 2001, a group of key Pacific educators came together to discuss issues and challenges in Pacific education and to explore new directions and alternatives for Pacific education (Pene, Taufe'ulungake, and Benson, 2002). The metaphor of a 'Tree of Opportunity' was used to describe education in the Pacific and this set the stage for the people present to reconceptualise Pacific education and think about ways of reclaiming the education process. The discussions at the colloquium were wide-ranging and they laid a solid foundation for the initiatives and plans of action that were to emerge over the next few years. One especially important development that has since been promoted by Pacific community groups throughout the region is the development of early childhood education. In particular, these community initiatives have developed early childhood (ECE) curricula and in this respect, they have affirmed the call from the 2001 colloquium members to develop ideas and content which reflects Pacific cultural values and aspirations. These recent initiatives have also foregrounded meaningful, authentic and contextualised models of learning drawn from a Pacific perspective (Pene, Taufe'ulungaki and Benson, 2002). Thaman (1999) argues that it is only when Pacific contexts are reflected in meaningful ways that education becomes transformative and can actively contribute to the cultural and linguistic survival of Pacific communities.

Author: Educational Change in International Early Childhood Contexts
Author: Linda R. KrollPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317908392
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Co-published with the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), Educational Change in International Early Childhood Contexts: Crossing Borders of Reflection examines the role of teacher reflection in a variety of educational contexts worldwide. Using a case study approach that integrates research, theory, policy, and practice, international contributors show how, in some settings, local traditions and values are honored while, in others, international educational ideas and programs become modified to suit local needs. Cases from Japan, China, Palestine, South Africa, Kenya, Finland, Italy, and New Zealand are discussed, as well as models from the United States. Through its thorough investigation into teacher reflection practices throughout the world, Educational Change in International Early Childhood Contexts: Crossing Borders of Reflection focuses on the transformative value of these practices to promote change in early childhood education. Framing commentary from Linda R. Kroll and Daniel R. Meier provides context and places the case studies in conversation with one another, allowing for productive international comparisons in this dynamic collection.
