Abstract

This article analyses data from a study that explored the role of early childhood education in supporting a sense of belonging for immigrant children and families in Aotearoa New Zealand, whilst sustaining their connections with homes and homelands. We draw on teachers’ documentation of curriculum experiences, focus group discussions, and interviews to consider ways in which teachers purposely integrated sensory experiences from children’s home countries within the curriculum in order to generate a sense of belonging. After introducing the topic and relevant literature, we describe the research design for the study and characteristics of the four participating early childhood centres. We then summarise representative comments about incorporation of the five senses within the centres, and set up an extended vignette of one centre. We assert that the sensory landscape of a place is a taken-for-granted and thus a largely overlooked aspect of early childhood pedagogy worthy of direct theory and practice attention.

一个感官景观的地方，作为一个邀请归属在儿童早期设置

本文分析了一项研究的数据，该研究探讨了幼儿教育在支持新西兰奥特罗阿移民儿童和家庭归属感方面的作用，同时维持了他们与家庭和祖国的联系。我们利用教师对课程体验的记录、焦点小组讨论和访谈来考虑教师如何有意识地将来自儿童祖国的感官体验整合到课程中，以产生归属感。在介绍了课题和相关文献之后，我们描述了研究的研究设计和四个参与的幼儿中心的特点。然后，我们总结了关于在中心内结合五种感官的代表性评论，并建立了一个中心的扩展小插图。我们认为，一个地方的感官景观是理所当然的，因此在很大程度上被忽视了早期儿童教育学的一个方面，值得直接的理论和实践关注。
