Research Around the World

 

    While looking the website of Early Childhood Australia I found many resources in the early childhood field. The one thing I found was a publication tab and there is a section for their Research in Practice Series. In this area you can write, advertise or even subscribe to the Research in Practice Series.

  Also while exploring the website I found out what some of their current topics up for discussion along with some remarkable perceptions that help broaden my knowledge of  early childhood education Australia. They have a program called Kids Matter, and what this does it works with early childhood educators and other care services to help ensure and support mental health and welfare of young children and their families. By working together they instill prevention and early intervention framework.

  Some other topics that you can find in the ‘Research in Practice Series’ include quality of early childhood education, professional partnership, supporting literacy in the early years, and many more. I find it encouraging that Australia is researching some of the same topics to the ones that are being researched here, in the United States.

    Another noteworthy topic I discovered was their new Digital Business Kits for Early Childhood.  These kits have been created to equip early childhood managers, teachers, staff and families to becoming more educated on how to use technology to make a bigger impact in the sector of early childhood education through quality high speed broadband connection.  This will enable them to expand their knowledge and skills by being able to explore, learn and see from a global perspective.

 "Who will help shape children's lifelong technology habits if educators don't participate? Young children often seem more "tech savvy" than many adults but they are not yet tech mature.  They need parents, educators and leaders to make wise informed choices on their behalf" (Early Childhood Australia, 2015).
