Therefore, the paper builds on the societal and historical structure of the region concerning to elements such us the well-being and social exclusion which bias its development. From this view, we attend to the progress and expansion of the early childhood education and care (ECEC) provision throughout Latin American societies, particularly for vulnerable groups. Finally, we include an analysis on the settled measures and actions in support of the right to ECEC, both in term…
Bordón : revista de pedagogía
2013
Si hay algún elemento que ha destacado sobre otros en la historia de la educación infantil contemporánea, este ha sido, sin lugar a dudas, el juego. Es imposible desligar la actividad lúdica de la vida cotidiana de las primeras edades y, aunque el juego no se reduce únicamente a la infancia, podemos afirmar que el discurso pedagógico al respecto se ha centrado mayoritariamente en este periodo educativo. El presente artículo trata de esbozar algunos de los rasgos formativos del juego infantil, recurriendo para ello a la historia de la educación mediante el análisis de algunos de los discursos, prácticas y testimonios de destacados educadores y educadoras del siglo pasado, interesados todos e…
Beginning Becoming: The First 1000 Days
2019
Thomas Balmes’ (Babies. Studio Canal documentaries, 2010) ‘Babies’ (Baby(ies) or Bebes) provides a glimpse into the earliest experiences of four infants from four different localities in the world. Although this movie offers no interpretation of what takes place, the discerning viewer is left in no doubt of the significance of these powerful images about infants and their ways of being, doing and knowing in the earliest phases of life. The provocations of ‘Babies’ offer a useful beginning orienting place for a book – almost 10 years later – that promises to focus on becoming in the first 1000 days across a different set of five countries – this time Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Norway a…
The expansion of early childhood development services and the need to reconceptualize evidence
2017
The provision of early childhood development services is expanding in developing countries. The rationale behind this expansion is rooted in developmental psychology, socio-economic and human rights narratives. However, there are some limitations to this rationale, which are in particular related to the implicit universalism it assumes. This article outlines how early childhood development interventions imply a policing of families and childhood, which calls for a stronger consideration of context. As a consequence, the scope of what counts as evidence in early childhood development research needs to be questioned. The article is a theoretical contribution to the discourse of what early ch…
Relación entre complejidad y dificultad en tareas con patrones lineales reiterativos en estudiantes de 5 años
2018
Una de las finalidades de la enseñanza de las matemáticas en Educación Infantil es fomentar el pensamiento lógico, la creatividad y la capacidad para resolver problemas de los estudiantes. Entre las actividades escolares propias de estas edades es habitual encontrar tareas de identificación y continuación de patrones lineales de repetición. Esta actividad puede ser estudiada desde un contexto de resolución de problemas en el que el estudiante debe discriminar la información superflua de aquella que le permite obtener la regla de generación de la serie y resolver la tarea. Diferentes variables como la longitud del núcleo de repetición, el número de descriptores, su naturaleza o la aparición …
Accelerating early language development with multi-sensory training
2012
This paper reports the outcome of a multi-sensory intervention on infant language skills. A programme titled ‘Rhyming Game and Exercise Club’, which included kinaesthetic–tactile mother–child rhyming games performed in natural joint attention situations, was intended to accelerate Finnish six- to eight-month-old infants’ language development. The participants were 20 infants (10 training group children and 10 control children). Their cognitive skills and both receptive and expressive language skills (Bayley Scales III) were tested three times (pre-, post- and follow-up assessments). The groups differed significantly in receptive language skills at the baseline, in favour of the controls. Th…

Bilingual children as policy agents : Language policy and education policy in minority language medium Early Childhood Education and Care
2017
AbstractThe current study examines bilingual children as language policy agents in the interplay between official language policy and education policy at three Swedish-medium preschools in Finland. For this purpose we monitored nine Finnish-Swedish bilingual children aged 3 to 5 years for 18 months. The preschools were located in three different parts of Finland, in milieux with varying degrees of language dominance. The children were video recorded during their normal daytime routines in early childhood education and care. Three types of communicative situations were analyzed: an educator-led small group activity, free play with friends, and an activity in which one child was playing alone…
HABILIDADES MATEMÁTICAS INICIALES Y DIFICULTADES MATEMÁTICAS PERSISTENTES
2017
Abstract.INITIAL MATH SKILLS AND PERSISTENT MATH DIFFICULTIESThe aim of the present study was to analyse the differences in certain basic mathematical competences (for example, counting, logical operations, magnitude comparability skills) assessed in. Early Childhood Education between children with persistent difficulties in the area of mathematics in 2nd Primary Education and children with adequate performance. The final sample of the study consisted of 180 children (composed initially of 209 pre-schoolers), of which 6.6% showed persistent mathematics difficulties (n = 12) and 45.5% presented an adequate performance in both measurements (n = 82). In Early Childhood Education we administere…
Longitudinal evidence for an emotion-action lag on desire: The role of emotional understanding
2021
Abstract Many previous studies have found that children understand much earlier what a character who has a false belief will do than what a character will feel. This gap between the understanding of action and emotion is known as the belief-emotion lag and to this day there is no convincing explanation as to why it happens. There are also no studies that have explored whether this same gap occurs in the understanding of desire. This longitudinal study had a twofold objective: to explore the existence of a lag between the prediction of action and emotion based on desire, and to search for the role that specific emotions could have in children’s answers. To this end, we administered the Test …
