Laadullinen tutkimusaineisto perustuu varhaiskasvatushenkilöstön tekemiin kirjauksiin ja haastatteluihin hyvekasvatuskokeilussa, joka toteutettiin Hyveet elämässä -työkalun avulla useassa eri päiväkodissa (N = 24). Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, (1) miten varhaiskasvatuksen henkilöstö kokee hyvekasvatuksen toteuttamisen päiväkodissa sekä (2) millaisia vaikutuksia henkilöstö arvioi hyvekasvatuksella olevan lapsiin, lasten perheisiin ja varhaiskasvatuksen arkeen. Aineiston analyysi toteutettiin aineistolähtöistä sisällönanalyyttistä menetelmää käyttäen, ja sen tuloksena muodostui viisi hyvekasvatuksellista tulosluokkaa, joiden kautta henkilöstö kuvaa näkemyksiään hyvekasvatuksen merkityksestä lapsille, huoltajille ja henkilöstölle itselleen. Tuloksissa korostuu henkilöstön näkemys hyvekasvatuksen erittäin myönteisestä ja laaja-alaisesta merkityksestä. Hyvekasvatuksella nähdään olevan positiivinen merkitys lapsen kokonaisvaltaisen eettisen, sosiaalisen ja psyykkisen kehityksen tukijana ja sen katsotaan kuuluvan luontevaksi osaksi varhaiskasvatuksen arkea ja suunnitelmallista pedagogiikkaa. Tutkimuksessa nousevat esiin myös koronapandemiaan ja varhaiskasvatuksen resurssien riittämättömyyteen liittyvät haasteet hyvekasvatuksen toteuttamisessa. Tutkimustulokset nostavat esiin hyvekasvatuksen merkityksen kasvatuksen päämäärän pohtimisessa ja lapsen kasvattamisessa itsenäiseksi moraalisubjektiksi.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"9 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135869773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the clear global interconnectivity, this article shows that contextual factors are essential to understand educational policy developments. The study examines reforms related to policies of access to ECEC in seven countries. Brazil, Finland, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Nepal, and Serbia. We show how access policies plug into the understanding of the role of ECEC as producing future citizens. Even though the main idea of ECEC’s role in developing future citizens is present in each national context, it takes different forms: the roles frame access policies as a way to strengthen either human capital via focusing on learning and skill formation, and/or the national identity of future citizens. They materialize in differing ways, for example, as coercive legislative requirements, fee policies, and knowledge production schemes. In addition, national access policies adopt different relations to the policies of international organizations, reflecting the socio-political context of the country. We argue that the concept of the imaginary is useful in allowing us to examine the interplay between the semiotic and non-semiotic aspects of policy. To further unravel the complexity inherent in such policies in terms of their local diversity, we suggest the usefulness of case studies and the examination of local-level policies in their full variety instead of only national ones, as these might be fruitful avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136184810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The program (POMPedaSens) aimed to promote children’s (5–6-year-olds’) SEL by supporting ECE teachers’ PD. Intervention effectiveness was monitored using an 8-month randomized controlled trial design with an intervention group (IG; 26 teachers and 195 children) and a waiting control group (CG; 36 teachers and 198 children) that provided data before and after program implementation. ECE teachers in the IG were trained to implement the intervention program in their early childhood education and care groups. Latent change score analysis revealed that when teachers showed a low level of stress, children’s prosocial behavior increased only in the IG. There were no significant results for the IG in terms of a change in antisocial behavior. The results suggest a promising application of the PD intervention for promoting prosocial behavior in ECE when teachers have low stress. A longer intervention period is likely needed to determine the moderating effect of ECE teachers’ well-being on children’s antisocial behavior change. Unexpectedly, when teachers showed a high level of stress, an increase in prosocial behavior and a decrease in antisocial behavior were found for children in the CG. This could result from demands for accountability and high expectations regarding early prosocial behavior without supporting teachers’ PD and well-being, which can diminish social-emotional functioning in the long run. Decreased antisocial behavior in the CG could stem from an acquired propensity towards compliant behavior driven by either a sense of obedience or fear. High stress in the CG indicates that teachers were trying to do their best at the risk of their own well-being.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136130793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Temaattisen synteesin analyysivaiheita noudattaen ensin artikkelien sisältämät suositukset koodattiin. Toisessa vaiheessa koodauksen perusteella suosituksista muodostettiin 12 deskriptiivistä teemaa, jotka ryhmiteltiin neljään kategoriaan: (1) Matemaattisen toimijuuden vahvistaminen kulttuurisesti vastuullisin menetelmin, (2) Matematiikkapuheen mahdollistaminen (3) Matemaattisen oppimisympäristön tekeminen arjessa näkyväksi sekä (4) Matemaattisen ja akateemisen kielitaidon vahvistaminen. Deskriptiivisten teemojen pohjalta luodun analyyttisen mallin mukaan varhaiskasvatuksen ammattilaiset voivat tukea monikielisten lasten matemaattisia taitoja tekemällä matemaattisesta toiminnasta kulttuurisesti merkityksellistä, tiedostamalla omat ennakkokäsityksensä matematiikan ja kielen oppimisesta ja siirtämällä näkökulman puutteista vahvuuksiin sekä mahdollistamalla monipuoliset tavat osallistua matematiikkapuheeseen säännöllisesti. Suositusten kokoaminen yhteen täydentää vielä vähäistä suomenkielistä tutkimuskirjallisuutta monikielisten lasten varhaisten matemaattisten taitojen tukemisesta. Tutkimuksessa suosituksia peilataan suomalaiseen varhaiskasvatukseen, joten sen tulokset voivat toimia myös pedagogisen toiminnan suunnittelun tukena varhaiskasvatuksen arjessa.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79830681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the aim is to investigate the instructional design based on narrative theory to facilitate students’ genuine explorations. With the increasing number of IB candidates and accredited schools, there is growing interest in IB education. This study examines the key characteristics and essence of the IB DP in high schools and explores a reorganization plan for the English B unit plan based on Narrative theory. The aim is to move away from traditional education focused on exam preparation and towards a more student-centered approach that fosters self-directed learning, creativity, and critical thinking skills. The introduction of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in public education is seen as an alternative, which leads to a consideration of the required changes in the field of education. Therefore, the aim is to guide students who are pursuing the IB DP to develop their own meaningful interpretations of experiences through the narrative theory in the English B curriculum, enabling them to form and reframe genuine inquiry questions and ultimately progress as lifelong learners capable of crafting insightful inquiries.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135399140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because ‘competence’, the ability to solve problems by transferring the results of learning, is required to dynamically cope with the uncertain and variable future society. Setting the goal of education as the development of competence reflects the shift in perception that education should be able to contribute to the sustainable development of mankind in the future society. Cultivation of competence begins with transferring the results of learning to real life. Curriculum around the world places learning for transfer in the direction of instruction and assessment. Among them, the IB MYP provides an empirical learning framework to transfer learning to life. This learning framework includes learning contents such as knowledge, skills, valuesㆍattitudes, the context in which learning should be transferred, and a circular teachingㆍlearning model for developing competencies. The 2022 revised Korean national curriculum also aims to transfer learning and develop competency, the learning framework of the IB MYP can provide an example of developing a learning model for the settlement of the 2022 revised curriculum. In this paper, I draw implications for the settlement of the 2022 revised curriculum by examining the learning design process for transferring learning using the IB MYP framework.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135399381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its primary objectives encompass facilitating cross-cultural identity, affective engagement, and enriching language acquisition for second language learners. Conventional instructional techniques often overlook the imperative cultivation of emotional resonance and the meticulous orchestration of linguistic and cognitive frameworks, engendering a dearth of profound cognitive processing and cultural assimilation. Within this study, we adopt a narrative-based neuroscience-informed backward design template, synergizing the tenets of Understanding by Design to seamlessly intertwine pedagogical objectives and evaluative measures through the lens of learners’ attainable capabilities. Neuroscientific inquiry into brain functioning during learning has divulged intricate processing mechanisms. The fusion of neuroscience and narrative science imbues Chinese language acquisition with an experiential facet, transcending the mere accrual of information, thus stimulating learners’ enthusiasm and ardor. In summation, this study pioneers innovative Chinese teaching design method that foster cross-cultural identity and emotional immersion. It propels the integration of narrative-based neuroscience into language education, augments language proficiency and cross-cultural cognizance, and furnishes invaluable insights for the enhancement and innovation of pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":37367,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135399142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
