Research Around the World

Early childhood education programs are forever evolving and there are so many organizations that conduct research for the betterment of children. The European Early Childhood Research Associate (EECRA), is one of the largest research organizations in Europe that provide research professionals the opportunity to show case their research studies. This is a great opportunity for individuals, local government, and non profit organizations to come together and share thoughts and ideas in the early childhood field.

One of the things I found interesting with (EECRA) is researchers who become members have the opportunity to join forces with other professionals from different organizations to research specific subjects on early childhood. These particular members are known as Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and the purpose for these groups is to bring about information that can benefit children and families nationally. Currently, there are several topics being research. One of the topics that are currently being research is young people’s perspectives. The purpose of this research is to evaluate and explain children’s perspective. An important part of the study is to engage children’s perspective and participation in research. This is one of many research topics (SIGs) members take part in.

 The European Early Childhood Education Research Journal (EECERJ) is one of the most impressive research journals. Professionals in early childhood programs would find these journals helpful when dealing with children and their families. The journals provide updated research topics such as, Birth to Three and Outdoor Play and Learning. Both topics mentioned play an important role in early childhood and as a professional keeping inform of what’s happening in early childhood around the world is essential.
