Trust in the educational partnership narrated by parents of a child with challenging behaviour

2019

This study examined trust in educational partnership in the context of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Finland, from the viewpoint of parents of a child with challenging behaviour. Typically, such children have difficulties in regulating their behaviour and emotions. Semi-structured interviews with 23 parents were content-analysed in a narrative framework. The analysis revealed two critical elements of trust in educational partnership: (1) Child well-being in the day care centre, and (2) a supportive parent–educator relationship and collaboration. Critical factors in the first element of trust were educators’ respectful and good-quality relationships with the child and fair and…

Parental agency and related emotions in the educational partnership

This study investigated the understudied issue of parental agency and related emotions in the educational partnership in the context of Finnish early childhood education and care.

Äitien luottamuksen rakentuminen kasvattajiin varhaiskasvatuksen aloituksessa

2020

Vanhempien ja kasvattajien kasvatusyhteistyön sujuvuus heijastuu siihen, millaiseksi varhaiskasvatuksen aloitus muodostuu lapsen kokemuksena. Parhaimmillaan yhteistyön alkuvaihe tukee luottamuksen rakentumista vanhempien ja kasvattajien välille. Tässä artikkelissa kiinnostus kohdistuu luottamuksen rakentumisen prosessiin äitien näkökulmasta. Tarkastelemme miten luottamus kasvattajiin varhaiskasvatuksen instituutiossa rakentuu äitien puheessa heidän pohtiessaan lapsensa ensi kuukausia varhaiskasvatuksessa. Teoriasidonnaisen sisällönanalyysin tuella tutkimme, onko puheesta löydettävissä Rempelin, Holmesin ja Zannanin (1985) kuvaamia luottamuksen rakentumisen tasoja. Aineistona ovat viiden noi…
