International migration, although interrupted slightly by the travel restrictions due to Covid-19, is still quite common and influential resulting in cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity within countries. Designing educational settings that meet the needs of a diverse population is crucial in promoting integration of migrant newcomers. By promoting integration through specific policies, countries may eliminate inequality, poverty, and injustice. National documents can provide information that represents these policies. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the early childhood education curriculum of the top five countries ranked in the educational integration domain of the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX). Document analysis method was used to determine the reflections of integration policy. It was concluded that integration is promoted through target curricula by specific focus on democratic and humanitarian values and rights. Also, flexibility of the curricula allowed practitioners to adapt their practices based on local needs. Thus, according to these results, several implications were provided for future research and practice.
国际移民虽然因 Covid-19 而略微中断了旅行限制,但仍然相当普遍,而且影响深远,导致了各国内部文化、种族和宗教的多样性。设计满足多样化人口需求的教育环境对于促进新移民融入社会至关重要。通过具体政策促进融合,各国可以消除不平等、贫困和不公正现象。国家文件可以提供体现这些政策的信息。因此,本研究旨在考察移民融入政策指数(MIPEX)中教育融入领域排名前五的国家的幼儿教育课程。采用文献分析法确定融合政策的反映。得出的结论是,通过具体关注民主和人道主义价值观和权利,目标课程促进了融合。此外,课程的灵活性使从业人员能够根据当地需要调整其做法。因此,根据这些结果,为今后的研究和实践提供了一些启示。

The current study analyzed body-weight representation of characters in 50 children's picturebooks about body image. A repeated-measures ANOVA confirmed that average-weight characters were depicted significantly more often than thin and fat characters, both of which were depicted equally as often. There were four times as many average-weight characters as fat characters and nearly 11 times as many average-weight characters as thin characters in the picturebooks. Average-weight and fat characters were depicted significantly more often with positive traits compared to negative traits. Average-weight characters were depicted engaging with food and exercise more often than fat and thin characters. White children and girls were predominantly portrayed in the picturebooks. There appears to be a lack of diverse body-weight representation in the picturebooks analyzed, which leaves room for diversifying the representation of children of varied body weights across children's picturebooks.
本研究分析了 50 本有关身体形象的儿童图画书中人物的体重表现。重复测量方差分析证实,平均体重的角色被描绘的频率明显高于瘦小和肥胖的角色,而瘦小和肥胖的角色被描绘的频率相同。在绘本中,平均体重的角色是胖角色的四倍,平均体重的角色是瘦角色的近 11 倍。平均体重角色和胖角色的正面特征明显多于负面特征。在绘本中,平均体重的角色比胖和瘦的角色更多地与食物和运动打交道。图画书中主要描绘的是白人儿童和女孩。在所分析的图画书中,似乎缺乏对不同体重儿童的表现,这就为在儿童图画书中表现不同体重的儿童留出了空间。

From illiterate assumption to literate potentiality: Harnessing the possibility of parent-of-Color stories 从文盲假设到识字潜力:利用彩色父母故事的可能性
IF 1.2 Q2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2023-11-23 DOI: 10.1177/14639491231209586

A plethora of services in early childhood care and education has not sufficiently resulted in equitable practice for families and, specifically, families of Color across the globe. Despite numerous programs geared toward alleviating literacy challenges, families of Color worldwide continue to experience Eurocentric approaches to addressing the literacies of their children, as well as the practices they hold dear. This insistence on programming that is focused on family literacy and not “family literacies” has created a context where the playing field remains unlevel, and all students are not provided with equal opportunities. Moreover, even with largely sanctioned programming, the potentiality of the multiple literacies of families of Color has been left untapped and thus obscured, making it impossible to identify the meaningful contributions that such families can provide to the field. The authors argue in this article that this obscured potentiality, engendered through centuries of assumptions made about the supposed ‘illiteracy' of families of Color, and inadvertently reinforced by the silencing of parents and families of Color in drawing from the imagination of their children and on the extant narratives of their daily lives, continues to be maintained through Eurocentric mechanisms that tout a false notion of what young children of Color can and cannot do. In response, parent-of-Color stories is presented as a mechanism for recognizing and restoring the potentiality of families of Color worldwide.
幼儿保育和教育方面的大量服务并没有为全球的家庭,特别是有色人种家庭带来公平的实践。尽管有许多计划旨在缓解识字方面的挑战,但世界各地的有色人种家庭在解决其子女的识字问题以及他们所珍视的实践问题时,仍继续采用以欧洲为中心的方法。这种坚持以家庭扫盲而非 "家庭扫盲 "为重点的计划,造成了一种不公平的竞争环境,无法为所有学生提供平等的机会。此外,即使有了大体上得到认可的计划,有色人种家庭的多种读写能力的潜能仍未得到开发,因而被掩盖了,使人们无法确定这些家庭能为教育领域做出的有意义的贡献。作者在这篇文章中指出,这种被掩盖的潜力是由几个世纪以来对有色人种家庭所谓 "不识字 "的假设所造成的,而有色人种父母和家庭在汲取孩子的想象力和日常生活的现存叙事方面的沉默又无意中加强了这种潜力,这种潜力继续通过以欧洲为中心的机制来维持,这种机制鼓吹有色人种幼儿能做什么和不能做什么的错误观念。作为回应,"有色人种家长的故事 "是一种承认和恢复全世界有色人种家庭潜力的机制。

As young children need more careful support and guidance than adolescents and adult learners, teachers in lower grades have extra considerations as they shift between teaching modalities. This colloquium seeks to bring attention to the experiences of one Hong Kong primary school English language teacher as she shifted between face-to-face, online and hybrid teaching over a two-year period during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is hoped that by sharing the teacher's first-hand accounts and reflections, pre-service and in-service teachers of young learners will be better prepared for changing realities and modalities.
由于幼儿比青少年和成人学习者需要更仔细的支持和指导,低年级教师在教学模式转换时需要额外的考虑。本次研讨会旨在关注一位香港小学英语教师的经历,她在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的两年时间里,在面对面、在线和混合教学之间转换。希望通过分享教师的第一手资料和反思,青年学习者的职前和在职教师将更好地为不断变化的现实和模式做好准备。

The important role of early childhood education and care in nurturing and ensuring belonging among all children is well recognised, but research specifically focused on how this is accomplished for autistic children is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine how supporting autistic children's belonging appeared in the stories of Finnish early childhood education and care professionals (e.g. early educators, special education teachers, and early childhood education and care nurses). The data was collected by using the method of empathy-based stories, which prompts participants to produce stories. A qualitative analysis of 104 professionals’ stories produced one overarching theme of professionalism comprising two interconnected main themes: (1) established support solutions and (2) a willingness to understand the child. The findings suggest that understanding a child as a unique individual with autism is a cornerstone of favourable pedagogical support solutions for belonging.
幼儿教育和护理在培养和确保所有儿童的归属感方面的重要作用是公认的,但专门关注如何为自闭症儿童实现这一目标的研究很少。本研究的目的是研究芬兰早期儿童教育和护理专业人员(如早期教育工作者、特殊教育教师和早期儿童教育和护理护士)的故事中如何出现支持性自闭症儿童的归属感。数据是通过基于移情的故事方法收集的,该方法促使参与者制作故事。对104名专业人士的故事进行了定性分析,得出了一个专业精神的总体主题,其中包括两个相互关联的主题:(1)建立支持解决方案;(2)理解孩子的意愿。研究结果表明,将自闭症儿童理解为一个独特的个体,是为归属感提供有利的教学支持解决方案的基石。

Using Walter Benjamin to rethink children's non-participation in play activities 用本雅明重新思考儿童不参与游戏活动

In this article, the authors reflect on examples they have recorded of children spending time on the thresholds of their classmates’ activities during activity-area times. They use these examples to reconceptualize some commonplace understandings of the places and practices of everyday life in contemporary preschools. They do so by drawing on three related concepts of Walter Benjamin: the arcades (akin to the contemporary shopping mall), the threshold, and the flâneur (who observes the sites and crowds of the city without joining in). They draw parallels between Benjamin's writings on the flâneurs who occupied the thresholds of the 19th-century Paris arcades and the young children who look on without entering the learning and play areas of the contemporary progressive preschool classroom. Following Benjamin, it is suggested that children may remain on the thresholds of activities not just because of shyness or bewilderment but also to experience the pleasures of anticipation and, in some cases, as acts of quiet resistance. Although Benjamin's writings have been rarely applied to the field of early childhood education, they can stimulate new understandings of children's lives in preschool and provoke implications for rethinking aspects of preschool teaching practice.
在这篇文章中,作者反思了他们所记录的孩子们在活动区时间花时间在同学活动门槛上的例子。他们用这些例子来重新定义对当代幼儿园中日常生活的场所和实践的一些常见理解。他们借鉴了Walter Benjamin的三个相关概念:拱廊(类似于当代的购物中心)、门槛和fl(观察城市的场所和人群而不加入其中)。他们将本雅明关于占据19世纪巴黎拱廊门槛的flalneurs的著作与那些没有进入当代进步学前班教室学习和玩耍区域的幼儿进行了比较。根据本杰明的观点,孩子们可能会停留在活动的门槛上,这不仅仅是因为害羞或困惑,也是为了体验期待的乐趣,在某些情况下,这是一种安静的抵抗行为。虽然本雅明的著作很少应用于幼儿教育领域,但它们可以激发人们对学前儿童生活的新认识,并为重新思考学前教学实践的各个方面带来启示。

Exploring professionalization in early childhood: Reflections from a veteran Head Start teacher 探索幼儿专业化:来自一位资深启智教师的反思
Q2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2023-10-17 DOI: 10.1177/14639491231206001

In early childhood education there has long been a focus on “professionalizing the field.” While professionalization initiatives can be well meaning, they can have unintended consequences that exacerbate already existing systemic inequities present in the early childhood workforce, such as restricting opportunities for teachers of color to both progress in their fields and contribute to the knowledge that is often valued in “child-centered” spaces. In this article, the authors explore the consequences of professionalization policies from the perspective of a veteran Head Start teacher, Monae, whose tenure in early childhood started as a child attendee of the Head Start grant that her mother, and several other Black women, implemented in a Midwestern rust-belt city beginning in 1967. Drawing from post-qualitative and narrative methodologies, they foreground Monae's lived experience, as she had a front-row seat to a rising tide of accountability and the ways in which professionalization efforts created structures that limited the participation of many early childhood teachers. The organization that had held the Head Start grant in Monae's community since 1967 failed to meet rising accountability requirements. Monae describes what happened next, when a local district took over the grant. Through these stories, we can learn lessons about how problematic power dynamics and inequitable district policies can weaken the relationships between teachers, families, and Head Start classrooms, as well as between Head Start and the broader community.
在幼儿教育中,长期以来一直关注“专业化领域”。虽然专业化举措可能是善意的,但它们可能会产生意想不到的后果,加剧幼儿劳动力中已经存在的系统性不平等,例如限制有色人种教师在各自领域取得进步的机会,以及在“以儿童为中心”的空间中贡献知识的机会。在这篇文章中,作者从一位资深的启智教师Monae的角度探讨了专业化政策的后果。Monae的幼儿任期始于她母亲和其他几位黑人妇女从1967年开始在中西部一个锈带城市实施的启智补助金。他们借鉴了后定性和叙事的方法,突出了Monae的亲身经历,因为她对日益高涨的问责制以及专业化努力所创造的限制许多幼儿教师参与的结构有第一手的了解。自1967年以来一直在Monae社区持有先导性启动基金的组织未能满足日益提高的问责要求。Monae描述了接下来发生的事情,当地的一个地区接管了这笔拨款。通过这些故事,我们可以了解到有问题的权力动态和不公平的地区政策如何削弱教师、家庭和“启智计划”教室之间的关系,以及“启智计划”与更广泛的社区之间的关系。

Rapid technological advancements make it easier than ever for young children to ‘talk to’ artificial intelligence (AI). Conversational AI models spanning education and entertainment include those specifically designed for early childhood education and care, as well as those not designed for young children but easily accessible by them. It is therefore crucial to critically analyse the ethical implications for children's well-being when a conversation with AI is just a click away. This colloquium flags the ‘empathy gap’ that characterises AI systems that are designed to mimic empathy, explaining the risks of erratic or inadequate responses for child well-being. It discusses key social and technical concerns, tracing how conversational AI may be unable to adequately respond to young children's emotional needs and the limits of natural language processing due to AI's operation within predefined contexts determined by training data. While proficient at recognising patterns and data associations, conversational AI can falter when confronted with unconventional speech patterns, imaginative scenarios or the playful, non-literal language that is typical of children's communication. In addition, societal prejudices can infiltrate AI training data or influence the output of conversational AI, potentially undermining young children's rights to safe, non-discriminatory environments. This colloquium therefore underscores the ethical imperative of safeguarding children and responsible child-centred design. It offers a set of practical considerations for policies, practices and critical ethical reflection on conversational AI for the field of early childhood education and care, emphasising the need for transparent communication, continual evaluation and robust guard rails to prioritise children's well-being.
快速的技术进步使得幼儿比以往任何时候都更容易与人工智能(AI)“交谈”。跨越教育和娱乐的会话式人工智能模型包括那些专门为幼儿教育和护理设计的模型,以及那些不是为幼儿设计但他们容易使用的模型。因此,当与人工智能对话只需点击一下鼠标时,批判性地分析对儿童福祉的伦理影响至关重要。本次研讨会指出了“同理心差距”,这是旨在模仿同理心的人工智能系统的特征,解释了不稳定或不充分的回应对儿童福祉的风险。它讨论了关键的社会和技术问题,追踪了会话人工智能如何无法充分响应幼儿的情感需求,以及由于人工智能在由训练数据确定的预定义环境中操作而导致的自然语言处理的局限性。虽然会话式人工智能在识别模式和数据关联方面很熟练,但在面对非常规的语音模式、富有想象力的场景或儿童交流中典型的有趣的非字面语言时,它可能会出现问题。此外,社会偏见可能渗透到人工智能训练数据中,或影响会话人工智能的输出,可能会损害幼儿在安全、非歧视性环境中的权利。因此,这次讨论会强调了保护儿童和负责任的以儿童为中心的设计的道德必要性。它为幼儿教育和护理领域的对话式人工智能的政策、实践和批判性伦理反思提供了一套实际考虑,强调需要透明的沟通、持续的评估和强有力的护栏,以优先考虑儿童的福祉。
