In order to provide stress management tools to preservice teachers prior to entry into the field, there has been growing interest in the use of reflective practices as part of higher education pedagogy. There is initial evidence that reflective practices have the potential to positively influence preservice teachers’ well-being and teaching practice. Instructors at two universities incorporated the use of reflective practices, including journaling, in-class discussions, and mindfulness, into their early childhood courses. Students from these courses were invited to participate in focus groups regarding their experiences with the use of reflective practices as part of their course’s pedagogical approach; 21 students participated (n for Course 1 = 13, n for Course 2 = 8). Using constant comparative analysis, two primary themes emerged: 1) participants described important aspects of the process and structure of using reflective practices as part of their course, and 2) participants reported how reflective practices supported their social-emotional understanding and well-being. Implications for using reflective practices, including rich descriptions, examples, and practice suggestions, as part of early childhood higher education pedagogy are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"261 - 287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46549240","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}

Taking a design-based approach to an undergraduate course for early childhood majors, qualitative data analysis examined the seven participating pre-service teachers’ knowledge of, perspectives on, and strategies for facilitating language development. In addition to traditional course content and assignments on language development, pre-service teachers explored sociocultural influences on language, participated in in-class and field-based practical experiences, videotaped and reflected on their work with preschool children, and engaged in coaching and feedback with peers and course instructors. In response to ongoing data collection and analysis, course elements were adjusted to meet emerging needs of the pre-service teachers. Findings indicate participants gained knowledge in language development, shifted perspectives on the value of linguistic diversity, demonstrated analytical reflection that led to action, expanded their view of the role of the teacher in language facilitation, and connected course content to their teaching practice. Implications of the findings for practice- and social-justice-oriented teacher education and limitations of the study context are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"95 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44307648","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}

Using multiple methods in a revelatory, embedded, single-case design, this research provides an explanatory account of preservice teachers (PTs) engagement during a structured field experience with preschoolers designed to foster their understanding of design-based engineering though collaborative learning and teaching experiences. Research Findings: Findings reveal that the PTs developed more robust understandings of design-based engineering and stronger self-efficacy beliefs related to their practice following participation in the learning and teaching collaborative project. PTs also voiced concerns over perceived challenges of integrating engineering instruction within the pedagogically and content restrictive environments of contemporary early childhood classrooms. Practice or Policy: Additionally, this research suggests that guided teaching and learning partnerships can support early childhood teacher preparation programs in developing preservice teachers’ understandings of the interrelationships between engineering and other aspects of the curriculum using emergent curricular approaches and interactional, play-based pedagogies.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"118 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41489824","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}

To increase teachers’ responsiveness to children’s behavior, a peer-coaching model was implemented in three Early Head Start classrooms. The peer-coaching model was developed to (a) increase frequency of appropriate infant/toddler teacher responses to children in their classroom, (b) increase engagement of children, and (c) support early communication of infants and toddlers. This study documented toddlers’ communication with their teachers to examine trends in toddler communication and teacher responsiveness. Results of this descriptive study suggest a pattern whereby child communication acts were higher when teachers’ responsiveness was higher. This finding supports the need for future research regarding best practices in increasing quality interactions between toddlers and caregivers to support communication development in early care and education settings.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"80 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44429671","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}

Guided by the literatures on home-school partnership and caregiver ethnotheories, the present study explored parents’ and teachers’ understandings of natural learning opportunities in DLL children’s homes and surrounding communities. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted on the transcripts of 18 interviews with parents (n = 9) and teachers (n = 9) from two Head Start programs in a large northeastern city. Results showed that participants discussed natural learning opportunities for DLL preschool children across three primary learning contexts: home, school, and community. Learning experiences were arranged and routinely implemented by immigrant parents and teachers to foster character and positive approaches to learning, provide accessible educational experiences, and preserve cultural heritage for DLL children. Combined, immigrant parents’ and preschool teachers’ narratives revealed salient priorities and values concerning children’s learning across the three natural contexts, for young Latine- and Chinese-heritage children growing up in the US. Future directions for including parents’ and immigrant teachers’ voices in early childhood programs, teacher training, and home-school partnership research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"42 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47260583","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}

To gather first insights into initial teacher education, this study explored the lesson aims, the frequency of different content taught and teaching methods used, and lessons preparation sources of 72 German teacher educators. In addition, teacher educators reported their challenges regarding their teaching of early science education. Data was gathered by using self-reports. Results revealed that the key lesson aims of teacher educators involved refer to the promotion of pre-service preschool teachers’ motivation and the preparation of the students for implementing science learning experiences in preschools. The teacher educators also reported challenges they faced teaching early science education, which included the students, general conditions, the actual teaching of early science education and teacher educators’ own qualifications. With regard to the teaching practices, we found a high variance in the content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge taught.
