2021
How do a sample of headteachers and pedagogical leaders understand the parts of the learning area ‘ethics, religion and philosophy’ (ERF) related to religion and religious heritage and tradition in early childhood education? And how do they implement them in practice? We have interviewed employees from 19 kindergartens in Agder and Oslo, and analyzed relevant pedagogical documents, to get answers. The informants came from both public kindergartens and private kindergartens with special objectives. In the private kindergartens, most informants expressed that religion and religious heritage and tradition were integrated in the pedagogical day to day work, with use of a large degree of a didac…
La formación del futuro docente a través de la interdisciplinariedad y la educación integral
2020
The Plastic Expression and the Musical Expression have a special relevance for the integral formation of the students of Early Childhood Education. Training in or from these areas of knowledge should be continued in the next stage, Primary Education, through the study of the so-called Area of Artistic Education (includes the subjects of Plastic and Music). The future teachers of Early Childhood Education should consider training in artistic education not only as an interrelated whole that guarantees the integral formation of the students of this educational stage, but as tools that favor and enhance the development of all fundamental areas (cognitive, motor, linguistics, etc.).

The effects of training on the grammar of preschool children
1974
The acquisition of morphological and syntactic rules of language during early childhood has been the object of intensive study in many languages during the last few years. As regards English, some surveys have already been published on the results (McNeill, 1970; Slobin, 1971). Research on the acquisition of morphological and syntactic patterns has been influenced on the one hand by psycholinguistics, on the other by the psychology of learning. This duality of starting points manifests itself also in the way of presenting problems and in the interpretation of results. One of the methodological difficulties when studying the acquisition of grammar was for a long time how to separate those la…

2004
This study investigates prospective relationships between phonemic awareness and reading performance during the first year of Finnish primary school.

A total of 85 children were examined three times on phonemic awareness and four times on reading performance during the first school year. At the beginning of the school year, they were also tested on initial reading skills. The results showed that the development of phonemic awareness and reading performance was reciprocal. Reading performance predicted phonemic awarene…

Correlation analyses indicated that parental psychological control oriented to both dependency and achievement was negatively rela…
