European Early Childhood Education Research Association


I have explored the website of European Early Childhood Education Research Association (EECERA) this week to understand more research topics in early childhood this week.
EECERA seeks to sustain and develop the rich tradition of European early childhood thought, the legacy of Pestalozzi, Owen, Froebel, Steiner, Vygotsky, Piaget, Malaguzzi and other pioneers, whilst looking forward to encourage the exploration of new paradigms, methodologies, concepts and applications in the ever-changing context of early childhood studies. Its reach and interest is resolutely international and, whilst wanting to identify with Europe’s pluralist and diverse cultures, it is open to learn of, and to share in, the equally rich early childhood traditions and concepts of the World.
From Volume 23, issue 2, 2015, its journal European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, their interested research topics including children’s cognitive development, Using ICT in early childhood education, Cultural learning, teaching and learning in outdoor activities etc. The journal content is quite diverse in different areas.

I thought it focused on European early childhood field, but surprisingly, it is quite international. It is also have contacts in China that I can continue to work with.

  1. Hello Xia
    EECERA has a link titled Korea Institute of Childcare and Education and it shows some journals with very interesting information. The Journal that caught my attention the most was the effects of parenting knowledge, job satisfaction and spousal support on mothers’ parenting stress of dual-income families. This journal examines the impact of demographic factors in which the mother’s job satisfaction and spousal support levels were the principal factors that affected and influenced parenting stress. I believe this website provides valuable information that all early childhood professionals can use and will help us in our professional growth. Thank you for your post.

  2. Hello Xia! It's good to see that you chose an obviously reputable organization that supports the research and hard work that was put into early childhood education well before our time by famous philosophers! I reviewed and posted about an Australian organization, but I must admit that the researched items in your listed magazine is also many of the topics that is being researched in Australia.....and when you look back on it....many of the same things are being researched here in America as well. It's amazing how countries can be so different in culture, living statuses,as well as other things; but be so on the same accord when it comes to educating and helping our young children develop!! Great post Xia!

  4. ICT in early childhood and cultural learning seem to be two research topics explored globally. I find this very interesting. While we try to vreate global networks in the field, there is a general interest in educating children about the culture of the country.
