One current research topic happening in Australia is the use
of technology with content areas such as literacy. Some researchers in Australia are looking at
how to challenge the traditional way children learn and how the use of
technology can change how the classroom looks in terms of fostering children’s learning.
A second research topic in Australia is equity and
quality. What is surprising to me is
issues in early childhood appears to be the same all over the world. Sometimes it can feel as if these problems
only exists in the US, but clearly that’s far from the truth.
Noteworthy information found on the website, http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/,
was the review of Australia’s national curriculum.
Dalhia, I quite agree with you that issues in early childhood appear to be the same all over the world. Since the beginning of this program I've had a lot of opportunity to go through what is happening in other countries about the issues they are facing in early childhood they are quite the same. The only difference I can say is the perspective of each country about the issues. We as professionals in this field have a lot to do in making a difference.
ReplyDeleteHi Dalhia-
ReplyDeleteTechnology in the early childhood classroom is a hot topic at my school right now. Everyone has a different opinion! Have you had experience using technology with young children? What insights have you gained from that?
Thanks!
