Abstract

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) educators’ well-being and emotional demands during COVID require careful attention. This article explores the emotional demands experienced by ECEC educators in Australia during ongoing periods of lockdown. A survey was designed to gather quantitative and qualitative data and participants were asked to participate in in-depth interviews. Thirty participants were interviewed to explore personal experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic; of these, a selected sample of six participants is presented, drawing on Honneth’s (1995) as an analytical framework. The findings show ECEC educators’ struggle for recognition and how solidarity amongst educators emerged as a key response. Implications provide impetus for the active recognition of the early childhood profession. Solidarity as a new concept in ECEC includes the recognition of the early childhood profession at a societal level, recognising the significant professional work early childhood educators accomplish, and their struggle during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
幼儿教育工作者的团结和争取认可的斗争
幼儿教育和护理(ECEC)教育工作者在新冠肺炎期间的幸福感和情感需求需要仔细关注。本文探讨了澳大利亚EC教育工作者在封锁期间所经历的情感需求。一项调查旨在收集定量和定性数据,并要求参与者参加深入访谈。对30名参与者进行了采访,以探索新冠肺炎大流行期间的个人经历;其中,以Honneth(1995)的分析框架为基础,选取了六名参与者作为样本。研究结果显示了欧共体教育工作者为获得认可而进行的斗争,以及教育工作者之间的团结是如何成为一种关键反应的。影响为积极承认幼儿专业提供了动力。团结作为EC的一个新概念,包括在社会层面承认幼儿专业,承认幼儿教育工作者完成的重要专业工作,以及他们在新冠肺炎大流行期间和之后的斗争。
