This comparative and qualitative study-in-progress |
|
focuses on two early childhood teacher education (ECTE) |
|
programs in contexts where the participants are |
|
undergoing rapid social and personal change: a program in |
|
Namibia and a program for immigrant childcare educators |
|
in Canada. The objective is to provide in-depth |
|
understanding of the ways in which differing ideas about |
|
ECTE are reflected in practice. It is important to ensure |
|
that ECTE programs prepare teachers to dovetail |
|
children's preparation for school with meaningful |
|
connections to the culture and language of the home |
|
community, since more and more children spend their |
|
preschool years in early childhood (EC) centres that are |
|
becoming increasingly westernized in character. The data |
|
will stem from analysis of early childhood care and |
|
education and ECTE curricula; policy and other documents; |
|
focused observations in ECTE classes; and interviews with |
|
teacher educators and students. The results are expected |
|
to illuminate issues and strategies which are most likely |
|
to be effective for ECTE programs, with implications for |
|
teacher education in a range of settings in both the |
|
majority and minority worlds. [For the complete Volume 12 |
