While much research attention has focused on young children's social-emotional (SE) competencies, an increasing body of evidence points to the importance of educators’ SE skills. Indeed, scholars have suggested that such skills support educators’ emotional well-being which, in turn, prevents burnout and facilitates a positive learning environment for young learners. Although the preceding benefits are well recognized, scholars have yet to fully explore how the interconnected domains of SE competence are linked to and support anti-racist pedagogy in early years classrooms. Drawing on systemic racism theory, this paper builds on and broadens the scope of the extant anti-racism in early childhood literature by focusing on (i) the positionality of white educators as it pertains to anti-racist pedagogy; (ii) conceptual and practical connections between anti-racist pedagogy and white educators’ SE competencies; and (iii) identifying how educators can evaluate and improve their pedagogies in a play-based early years classroom.
尽管许多研究关注的重点是幼儿的社会情感(SE)能力,但越来越多的证据表明,教育工作者的社会情感技能非常重要。事实上,学者们认为,这些技能有助于教育工作者的情绪健康,而情绪健康反过来又能防止职业倦怠,并为幼儿营造积极的学习环境。尽管上述益处已得到广泛认可,但学者们尚未充分探讨 SE 能力的相互关联领域如何与幼儿课堂中的反种族主义教学法相联系并为其提供支持。本文以系统性种族主义理论为基础,通过关注(i)白人教育者在反种族主义教学法中的地位;(ii)反种族主义教学法与白人教育者的 SE 能力之间的概念和实践联系;以及(iii)确定教育者如何在以游戏为基础的幼儿课堂中评估和改进他们的教学法,从而在现有的幼儿反种族主义文献的基础上更进一步。

We live in a culture that teaches us to value being seen and heard above all else. In early childhood classrooms teachers are encouraged to create individual spaces for every child and to artfully display their work as it is created. Especially in Euro-Western, neoliberal contexts, policy and curricula commonly call for early childhood professionals to pay special attention to children and families who come from immigrant or otherwise marginalized backgrounds. We are urged to acknowledge and elevate children's and families’ differences for all to see. But does everyone—child, teacher, and caregiver—want to be seen and heard all the time? What are the affordances and constraints of the visibility injunction under which we live? In this article we set out to reimagine the classic hide-and-seek paradigm in order to shed fresh light on the place of hiddenness and withdrawal from public view in the formation of positive self-regard. Is the joy of hiding always defined by the anticipation of being found? Are the pleasures of seeking only realized by the possibility of finding something/someone or is seeking an activity with its own rich rewards? Our stories and responses to each other are set out in a call-and-response pattern that echoes the six semi-structured hour-long conversations on which this article is built. Musical interludes are provided between each story/response couplet offering readers moments to pause, reflect, and argue with us as they move through the article.
我们生活在这样一种文化中,这种文化教导我们把被看见和被听见看得比什么都重要。在幼儿教师的课堂上,我们鼓励教师为每个孩子创造独立的空间,并艺术地展示他们创作的作品。特别是在欧洲-西方、新自由主义的背景下,政策和课程通常要求幼儿专业人员特别关注来自移民或其他边缘化背景的儿童和家庭。我们被敦促承认并提升儿童和家庭的差异,让所有人都能看到。但是,是否每个人--儿童、教师和看护人--都希望一直被看到和听到呢?我们生活在这样的能见度指令下,其承受能力和制约因素是什么?在这篇文章中,我们试图重新想象经典的捉迷藏范例,以揭示躲藏和避开公众视线在形成积极自律方面的作用。躲藏的快乐是否总是由被发现的预期所决定?寻找的乐趣是否只有在有可能找到某物/某人时才能实现,还是寻找本身就是一项回报丰厚的活动?我们的故事和彼此的回应以呼唤-回应的模式呈现,与本文所依据的六次长达一小时的半结构式对话相呼应。每个故事/回答对联之间都有音乐插曲,让读者在阅读文章时有时间暂停、思考并与我们争论。

Storying hopeful resistances to datafication: Cracks, spacetimematterings and figurations of agency within the more-than-human ecologies of early childhood education and care 讲述对数据化的充满希望的抵抗:幼儿教育和保育的非人类生态中的裂缝、时空物质和机构形象

In this paper, we ponder the ecologies of spacetimematterings folded into resistance practices and their relationality with figurations of agency outside and beyond datafication agendas. Accountability cultures bound up with datafication have consequences that include a diminished agency for both children and educators. We take inspiration from the idea that enactments of resistance can cause cracks to appear that forge creative spaces where different kinds of doings related to agency emerge. The context, potentiality and storyings of cracking encounters is where our interest lies. To ponder crackings, we play with feminist posthuman and materialist theorising with research-creation approaches to notice resistances as material-discursive intra-actions amongst the lively materiality of educational life. From there we notice resistance practices as ecologies. Those ecologies are complex and lively yet often concealed in more-than-human cracks by the grand narrative of datafication. Through storytelling, we reimagine these cracks as dynamic resistances, often unresolving the relationality between power and the collective more-than-human modes of resistance we witnessed. Different kinds of noticing mattered and amplifying the sharing of resistance stories brings attention to hopeful agencies already and always at work. Sharing stories can strengthen the connectivity of resistances to datafication and build a stronger autonomy and agency for early childhood education and care. Our provocation is to pay attention to the spacetimematterings of ecologies where resistance practices are already at work cracking cracks for different doings. From there, further activisms can mobilise a larger fracturing to the dominance of datafication narratives.
在本文中,我们将思考折叠到抵制实践中的时空物质生态,以及它们与数据化议程之外和之外的机构形象的关系。与数据化联系在一起的问责文化所产生的后果包括削弱了儿童和教育工作者的能动性。我们从这一观点中得到启发,即抵制的行为会导致裂缝的出现,从而形成创造性的空间,在那里会出现与代理有关的各种行为。我们感兴趣的是裂缝遭遇的背景、潜力和故事性。为了对裂缝进行思考,我们运用了女性主义后人类理论和物质主义理论以及研究-创造方法,注意到在生动活泼的物质性教育生活中,抵制是物质-话语的内部互动。由此,我们注意到作为生态的抵制实践。这些生态复杂而生动,但往往被数据化的宏大叙事掩盖在非人类的缝隙之中。通过讲故事,我们将这些裂缝重新想象为充满活力的抵抗,往往无法解决权力与我们所目睹的超越人类的集体抵抗模式之间的关系。不同类型的注意都很重要,扩大抵抗故事的分享会让人们注意到已经并始终在发挥作用的充满希望的机构。分享故事可以加强对数据化的抵制的连通性,为幼儿教育和保育建立更强的自主性和能动性。我们的建议是关注生态环境的时空变化,在这些生态环境中,抵制实践已经在发挥作用,为不同的行为裂开了缝隙。在此基础上,进一步的活动可以动员更多的力量,打破数据化叙事的主导地位。

Despite their crucial global importance in the daily work within classrooms, teacher assistants are barely addressed in early childhood education (ECE) teaching policy and research. In this context, little is known about features of their role – more commonly studied in the case of lead teachers – such as their professional dispositions. This paper analyses the discourses of a group of Chilean ECE teacher assistants about their dispositions, exploring possible intersections and dissonances of an ethics of care and mainstream technical practice approaches in ECE. Sixteen assistants from two ECE centres located in an urban suburb of Santiago de Chile took part in focus groups and interviews, and their discourses were analysed through a Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Findings show that teacher assistants address their role by producing a discourse informed by an ethics of care, but also drawing marginally on a mainstream technical perspective. The findings may help inform future ECE teaching policy in Chile, embracing new approaches to ECE professionalism that foreground caring practices and acknowledge the diversity of the workforce.
尽管教师助理在教室的日常工作中发挥着至关重要的全球性作用,但在幼儿教育(ECE)教学政策和研究中却很少涉及到他们。在这种情况下,人们对他们的角色特点知之甚少--更多的研究是针对主班教师--比如他们的职业倾向。本文分析了一组智利幼儿教育助教关于其职业倾向的论述,探讨了幼儿教育中保育伦理与主流技术实践方法之间可能存在的交叉和不协调。来自智利圣地亚哥市郊两个幼教中心的 16 名助理教师参加了焦点小组和访谈,并通过反思性主题分析法对他们的论述进行了分析。研究结果表明,教师助理在处理自己的角色时,发表了以保育伦理为基础的言论,但也略微借鉴了主流技术观点。这些研究结果可能有助于为智利未来的幼教教学政策提供信息,使其采用新的幼教专业方法,突出关爱实践,并承认工作队伍的多样性。

Doppelganger as method: A framework for examining datafication 作为方法的二重身:数据化研究框架
IF 1.2 Q2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2024-08-21 DOI: 10.1177/14639491241273927

This paper explores an emerging methodological approach called doppelganger as method. This method uses the idea of a doppelganger or double to explore the social world. It is specifically used to examine datafication, or the increase in the production and use of data and its impact on education. Doppelganger as method begins by locating doubles, finding that doubles of the child and teacher are created through the focus on data production in early childhood education. It then asks how this doubling operates as an instrument of power, using understandings of the literary genre of the doppelganger along with its psychoanalytic interpretations to formulate novel interpretations. Doppelganger as method has been used as a tool to reconceptualize datafication, the increase in the volume and use of data in educational contexts. Using interpretations of Freud's work on the uncanny, a psychoanalytic understanding of the doppelganger is established. This is then applied in an educational context to interpret the function of various doppelgangers. Findings from this method include an ambivalent relationship with data, the marginalization of bilingual children and changes to both teacher and child subjectivity.
本文探讨了一种新出现的方法论,即 "二重身方法"。这种方法利用二重身或替身的概念来探索社会世界。它特别用于研究数据化,即数据生产和使用的增加及其对教育的影响。二重身作为一种方法,首先要找到替身,发现儿童和教师的替身是通过幼儿教育中对数据生产的关注而产生的。然后,该书利用对二重身这一文学体裁的理解以及对其精神分析的解释,提出了这种二重身如何作为一种权力工具运作的问题,并提出了新的解释。二重身作为一种方法,已被用作重新认识数据化的工具,即在教育背景下数据数量和使用的增加。通过对弗洛伊德关于 "不可思议 "的著作的解释,建立了对二重身的精神分析理解。然后将其应用于教育环境,解释各种二重身的功能。这种方法的研究结果包括与数据的矛盾关系、双语儿童的边缘化以及教师和儿童主体性的变化。

Understanding datafication in Swedish ECEC through three evaluation imaginaries 通过三种评估想象理解瑞典幼儿保育和教育中心的数据化

In this paper we explore datafication through a specific kind of evaluative practice in Swedish early childhood education and care (ECEC): the creation of quality reports by individual preschools. A theoretical framework is developed based on Dahler-Larsen's descriptions of three ‘evaluation imaginaries’ (the modern, reflexive modernity and audit society), with elaboration of their respective characteristics and complementary notions from other sources. We then apply the framework, and a qualitative text analytical approach, to analyse eight quality reports from diverse Swedish preschools, purposefully selected to represent preschools that vary in terms of ownership, geographical location, size and pedagogical profile. We find that the reflexive modernity imaginary is most clearly influential in the ECEC quality reports, but there are emerging indications of the audit society imaginary's influence. We also find variations in prioritised focus in the reports among ECEC providers, underscoring the need for further exploration. The study calls for future research to delve into provider-specific nuances, expand the investigation to other kinds of evaluations and scrutinise the broader implications for ECEC operations and practices.
在本文中,我们通过瑞典幼儿教育和保育(ECEC)中的一种特殊的评估实践来探讨数据化问题:个别幼儿园编制质量报告。我们根据 Dahler-Larsen 对三种 "评估想象"(现代、反思性现代和审计社会)的描述建立了一个理论框架,并阐述了它们各自的特点和其他来源的补充概念。然后,我们运用该框架和定性文本分析方法,分析了来自瑞典不同学前教育机构的八份质量报告,这些学前教育机构的所有权、地理位置、规模和教学情况各不相同。我们发现,反思性现代性想象在幼儿保育和教育质量报告中的影响最为明显,但也有迹象表明审计社会想象的影响正在显现。我们还发现,不同的幼儿保育和教育机构在报告中优先关注的重点也不尽相同,这说明有必要进行进一步的探讨。本研究呼吁今后的研究深入探讨提供者的具体细微差别,将调查扩大到其他类型的评估,并仔细研究对幼儿保育和教育中心的运作和实践的更广泛影响。

When public preschool teachers’ classroom time is left behind 当公立幼儿园教师的课堂时间被抛在脑后时

This qualitative research study explores how US preschool teachers experience time as they grapple with linear “time for learning” policy initiatives. “Time for learning” positions children's learning as a function of the time children are engaged with learning tasks relative to the time needed for producing effective and efficient learners. This phenomenon is part of the global expansion of early childhood connected to biopolitics in which children's bodies are measured as subjects of governance and childhood becomes a temporal construct centered on society's aspirations and anxieties around children as its future citizens and economic contributors. Using van Manen's approach to interpretive phenomenology with 22 US preschool teachers who provided interviews on their experiences with reforms designed to expand their opportunities to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of learning for children with marginalized identities by providing them more time within the school day (expanding from half day to full day, or 4 days per week to 5), we found several themes: teachers’ loss of professional self, teachers’ loss of authentic self, and teachers disordering and distending “time for learning.” The findings suggest that preschool teachers in the study “played” with time in ways that spoke back to policy constraints yet also paid a price mentally due to efficiency/effectiveness expectations of the reform contexts. The discussion centers on preschool teachers’ experiences in light of older research on teachers’ consciousness and suggests that veteran preschool teachers are positioned uniquely in the struggle to resist the temporal elements of biopolitics and neoliberal reform.
本定性研究探讨了美国学前教师在应对线性 "学习时间 "政策倡议时如何体验时间。"学习时间 "将儿童的学习定位为儿童参与学习任务的时间与培养高效学习者所需时间的函数。这种现象是幼儿期全球扩张的一部分,与生物政治学有关,在生物政治学中,儿童的身体被衡量为治理的主体,童年成为一种时间建构,其核心是社会对儿童作为未来公民和经济贡献者的期望和焦虑。22 名美国学前教育教师接受了访谈,了解了他们在改革中的经历,改革的目的是通过为边缘化儿童提供更多的在校时间(从半天到全天,或从每周 4 天到 5 天),扩大他们的机会,提高他们的学习效果和效率。研究结果表明,研究中的学前教师 "玩弄 "时间的方式,既与政策限制相呼应,也因改革背景下对效率/效益的期望而付出了代价。讨论以学前教师的经验为中心,结合对教师意识的早期研究,指出资深学前教师在抵制生物政治和新自由主义改革的时间因素的斗争中具有独特的地位。
