Social exclusion from peer interaction and relationships in a daycare center a micro-ethnography
2017
This study investigates social exclusion from peer interaction and relationships among children in one Finnish daycare center. Social exclusion is a multifaceted phenomenon that can be encountered as a result of for instance peer exclusion or social withdrawal. Persistent social exclusion can have severe negative consequences. However, social exclusion is also an inevitable part of social life. This study discusses the multiplicity of this phenomenon in one daycare center. This study is a micro-ethnography. I wrote notes and video-recorded the everyday life of two child groups for 12 days. I analyzed the data by revealing how the context partly created the social exclusions occurring there.…
LEZIONE 15 – La pedagogia fondamentale e le altre scienze pedagogiche
2017
In questa Lezione viene esaminato il rapporto tra la pedagogia fondamentale e le altre scienze pedagogiche, sue articolazioni peculiari. È infatti la stessa pedagogia fondamentale a fondarle, specializzandosi nell’approfondimento di aspetti particolari dell’educazione, quali, per esempio, la società, la scuola, l’infanzia, la famiglia. Vengono pertanto passate in rassegna la pedagogia sperimentale, la pedagogia sociale, la pedagogia dell’infanzia, la pedagogia della scuola, la pedagogia della famiglia, la pedagogia del lavoro, la pedagogia interculturale, la pedagogia speciale, la pedagogia di genere, la didattica, tutte scienze pedagogiche che hanno col tempo costruito una propria identità…
Self-regulated learning, self-efficacy beliefs and performance during the late childhood
2010
This article analyzes relations between self-regulated learning, self-efficacy beliefs, and performance in tasks of solving arithmetic problems. The research includes 268 six-year-old students enrolled in the first year of primary school in Spain. The results from binary logistic regression models indicate that self-regulated learning and its interaction with self-efficacy beliefs predict performance. Finally, the cluster analysis shows four profiles of students: i) positive adjusted; ii) negative unadjusted I; iii) negative unadjusted II y; iv) negative adjusted.. Este artículo analiza relaciones entre el aprendizaje autorregulado, las creencias de autoeficacia y el desempeño en tareas de …
Теория пересечений и другие вызовы теоретизирования детства. [‘Intersectionality’ and other challenges to theorizing childhood
2018
Автор размышляет о возможности применения «теории пересечений»1 для изучения проблем детства. Проводится аналогия с использованием данного концепта в исследованиях феминизма и обсуждаются возможности его приложения в социологии детства. Автор обращается к позиции Й. Квортрупа по проблеме «теории пересечений» в отношении детства. Такое рассмотрение позволит не только описать «множества детств» – жизненных миров, идентичностей и опыта, но и провести причинно-следственный анализ современного детства. peerReviewed
Data practices and inequality in South African early childhood development policy: Technocratic management versus social transformation
2019
Background: In 1994, the African National Congress identified early childhood development as a potential strategy to redress the inequalities of apartheid, however, two and a half decades later, poverty still persists, and South Africa is one of the most unequal countries in the world. Aim: This article explores how policy texts based on and with the use of certain data practices establish ‘truths’ about childhoods and society, construct families and communities, and determine forms of provision to address inequality. Setting: In 2015, the South African government published the National Integrated Early Childhood Policy (NIECDP) to continue to address poverty and inequality. Its implementat…
Hierarchies of knowledge, incommensurabilities and silences in South African ECD policy: Whose knowledge counts?
2017
AbstractPolicy for young children in South Africa is now receiving high-level government support through the ANC’s renewed commitment to redress poverty and inequity and creating ‘a better life for all’ as promised before the 1994 election. In this article, I explore the power relations, knowledge hierarchies and discourses of childhood, family and society in National Curriculum Framework (NCF) as it relates to children’s everyday contexts. I throw light on how the curriculum’s discourses relate to the diverse South African settings, child rearing practices and world-views, and how they interact with normative discourses of South African policy and global early childhood frameworks. The NCF…
Revealing colonial power relations in early childhood policy making: An autoethnographic story on selective evidence
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic exposes uncertainty, instability and glaring inequality that requires urgent global policy decisions. Historically, bureaucrats regard uncertainty as the enemy and look for tested solutions (Stevens, 2011). In contrast, Fielding & Moss (2010) acknowledge an uncertain future and encourage shifting policy making towards the search for possibilities instead of replicating singular solutions. Escobar (2020) advocates for pluriversal politics, with many possibilities created through collective decision-making by autonomous interlinked networks. In this paper, I combine autoethnography with policy analysis drawing on my own experience in South African early childhood pol…
Positioning children with special educational needs in early childhood education and care documents
2018
The article critically discusses the practice of describing children’s special educational needs (SEN) in early childhood education and care (ECEC) pedagogical documents. Documentation is understood as a form of governance. In current practice, documentation is extensively used in educational institutions. Even when the focus of documentation should be pedagogical, the descriptions of children’s SEN commonly describe a child’s individual deficits as a source of educational problems. In this study, we used discourse analysis to investigate how professionals position children and construct their SEN in pedagogical documents. The research data consisted of 143 documents on 29 Finnish children.…
Child Well-Being in Times of Confinement: The Impact of Dialogic Literary Gatherings Transferred to Homes
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unexpected situation that has forced people to find educational alternatives to support learning and ensure child well-being. The need for practices that 'open doors' at home as a way to promote a quality education and to foster an environment of supportive relationships and a sense of community, has led to the in-depth analysis of successful educational actions, particularly the Dialogic Literary Gatherings (DLGs). The aim of this article is to show how the transference of DLGs to the home environment has had an impact on child subjective well-being in times of confinement, promoting a safe and supportive environment for learning, interacting, coexistin…
Reconsidering passivity and activity in children’s digital play
2016
The discussion around children’s digital game culture has resulted in two contradictory images of children: the passive, antisocial children uncritically and mechanically consuming digital game content and the active, social children creatively using and interacting with digital game content. Our aim is to examine how these seemingly contradictory ideas of “active” and “passive” children could be considered. By means of empirical examples of children playing digital dress-up and makeover games, we will point out that for the successful use of these concepts, they need to be thoroughly contextualized. By discussing the context and referent of activity and passivity, it is possible to overcom…
