Research Around the World

What are some of the current international research topics?

As much as we are trying to gain insight of children in the United States, other countries are understanding the purpose of children providing their input. Young Children Perspective is a group formed by Australian and United Kingdom.
              " Deborah Harcourt, from her Australian study, affirms that contemporary early childhood tudies     
have established young children's competence as research partners and their ability to report on matters that affect them" (Harcourt & Einarsdottir, 2011).



What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?

 The European Early Childhood Education Research Journal website has a variety of information. They are one of the most prestigious EC journal around the world. The Board wants to reflect their European heritage, therefore they prefer that all trustees are either native European or live in Europe of where they are employed. The international research papers that are submitted to this website should not include no more than three papers from the same country.
