What should be the relationship between early childhood and compulsory education? What can they learn from one another and by working together? The rapid expansion of early childhood education and care means that most children in affluent countries now have several years at pre-school before compulsory education. This raises an important question about the relationship between the two. Whilst it’s widely assumed that the former should prepare children for the latter, there are alternatives. This book contests the ‘readying for school’ relationship as neither self-evident nor unproblematic; and explores some alternative relationships, including a strong and equal partnership and the vis...
This timely book reveals how policies of childcare and early childhood education influence children’s circumstances and the daily lives of families with children. Examining how these policies are approached, it focuses particularly on the issues and pitfalls related to equal access.

Today, the documentation of children's education and development is an important part of educational work in early childhood education. This book systematises the topic of pedagogical documentation based on current empirical research. The book analyses different pedagogical reasons for documentation and then presents and discusses different procedures of pedagogical documentation in theory and empirical practice : Portfolio, Learning Stories, pedagogical documentation in the room, project documentation and digital pedagogical documentation. Pedagogical documentation is discussed in the tension between a social constructivist understanding of education on the one hand and a diagnostic logic of fostering on the other. The book is intended as a part of pedagogically oriented childhood research, which also wants to contribute to the reflection and improvement of pedagogical practice.
In den vergangenen Jahren wurden mehr als siebzig akademisierte Ausbildungsgänge für Tätigkeiten im Feld der Kindheitspädagogik etabliert. In Deutschland bestehen diese meist neben Studiengängen für das Lehramt an Grundschulen. Die Bedeutung der Moderation von Übergängen ist allerdings längst und hinreichend erkannt und es entwickeln sich zunehmend gemeinsame Perspektiven der Arbeit. Ob und wie auch eine gemeinsame Ausbildung angesichts des Spannungsfeldes von Institutionen und Ausbildungskonzepten allgemeine Praxis werden sollte, kann nur vor dem Hintergrund einer differenzierten Klärung des Ist-Zustandes entschieden werden. Zu diesem Diskurs leistet der Band einen fundierten und innovativen Beitrag, der internationale Erfahrungen berücksichtigt
È possibile, nella scuola primaria statale, far entrare le visioni della pedagogia attiva, la nonviolenza di Gandhi, la sistemica di Bateson, l’etica di Morin, la ribellione e la giustizia di Don Milani, di Paulo Freire, l’interdisciplinarità di Telmo Pievani… la fisica quantistica, l’educazione alla libertà, la pedagogia della lentezza, l’uomo planetario,… E tutto questo mentre devi fare gli aggettivi e i congiuntivi, il ciclo dell’acqua, la geometria e le equivalenze, l’inglese, i sumeri, gli avverbi, l’educazione stradale, le carte geografiche e la riduzione in scala, gli strumenti ad aria e quelli a corde… festeggiare il giorno dei nonni, quello della Terra, quello della donna, della mamma, del papà, quello della pace e il 25 aprile… È possibile unire l’infinito al qui-e-ora? È possibile educare all’ascolto, alla gentilezza, alla solidarietà e alla cura dell’altro? Alla possibilità di errore e di redenzione? All’elaborazione del lutto e non alla sua rimozione? Questo libro cerca di rispondere a queste domande, attraverso esperienze concrete, vissute con i bambini.
Die Dokumentation von Bildung und Entwicklung der Kinder ist heute ein wichtiger Teil der Bildungsarbeit in Kindertageseinrichtungen. Das vorliegende Buch systematisiert auf Basis der aktuellen empirischen Forschung das Thema Bildungsdokumentation. Nach der Analyse verschiedenerer pädagogischer Begründungen von Dokumentation werden die Formen der Bildungsdokumentation in Theorie und empirischer Praxis vorgestellt und kritisch diskutiert: Portfolio, Lerngeschichten, Bildungsdokumentation im Raum, Projektdokumentation und digitale Bildungsdokumentation. Bildungsdokumentation wird dabei im Spannungsfeld zwischen einem sozialkonstruktivistischen Bildungsverständnis einerseits und einer diagnostischen Förderlogik andererseits diskutiert. Das Buch versteht sich als Beitrag zu einer pädagogisch orientierten Kindheitsforschung, die auch zur Reflexion und Verbesserung der pädagogischen Praxis beitragen möchte.
