Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood Education in Germany (Paperback): Wilfried Smidt Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood Education in Germany (Paperback)
Wilfried Smidt
R1,378 Discovery Miles 13 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The importance of early childhood education has been emphasized by a large body of research that has demonstrated that children's cognitive and socio-emotional development is significantly influenced by the quality of the education and care received from their families and in preschool. Consequently, it is important to investigate factors that pertain to the provision of a high-quality education and high-quality care for young children. This book addresses several important issues that are currently under discussion with respect to this topic. In particular, the book focuses on three topics presently under debate: the professionalization of pedagogues working in the field of early childhood education; the quality of education and care provided by families and preschools; and the promotion of children from socio-economically disadvantaged families. Providing an excellent overview of current research in Germany, this book will be useful to readers who are interested in international perspectives on early childhood education and who want to gain insight into relevant topics discussed in other countries. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care.

Teacher-Child Interactions in Early Childhood Education and Care Classrooms - Characteristics, Predictivity, Dependency and... Teacher-Child Interactions in Early Childhood Education and Care Classrooms - Characteristics, Predictivity, Dependency and Methodological Issues (Hardcover)
Wilfried Smidt, Simone Lehrl
R4,134 Discovery Miles 41 340 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How children's development is shaped by Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) classrooms and especially by teacher-child interactions in those settings is a major issue in research and politics, which has been researched for several decades. This book investigates this important topic by raising three overarching questions: (1) What are 'good' teacher-child interactions and how they can be measured? (2) Which individual and/or contextual aspects are associated with teacher-child interactions? (3) What is the impact of teacher-child interactions on the development of children's competencies? The book ties in these fundamental questions with educational research by bringing together international studies from interdisciplinary backgrounds and presenting current research on the characteristics, predictivity, dependency, and methodological issues of teacher-child interactions in ECEC classrooms. The considered studies conducted in Australia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Greece and Portugal each aim to enrich the scientific discourse and provide fruitful implications for policy and practice. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Research Papers in Education journal.

Institutions and Organizations as Learning Environments for Participation and Democracy - Opportunities, Challenges, Obstacles... Institutions and Organizations as Learning Environments for Participation and Democracy - Opportunities, Challenges, Obstacles (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Reingard Spannring, Wilfried Smidt, Christine Unterrainer
R4,235 Discovery Miles 42 350 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book discusses opportunities and limitations to democratic participation in institutions and organizations across the life course. It demonstrates that democratic participation is not something that is learned once and for all and applied in formal political settings, but something that is lived every day throughout life in various contexts. Institutions and organizations frame human lives and strongly determine the ability to participate and co-determine their communities. They are places for learning, deliberation and the development of the common good. The book conceptually and empirically analyses the potential of democratic participation within various institutions. The contributions range from early childhood institutions, schools, youth programs, workplaces, and vocational education to cultural organizations and nursing homes for the elderly. The book thereby provides a cross-sectional and interdisciplinary knowledge base to inspire future research and practical efforts to promote democratic participation within and across institutions around the world.
