Abstract

This section within the Handbook of Early Childhood Education and Development contains eight papers on the theme of curriculum and assessment; eight country-related perspectives are presented to allow a global overview of early childhood education. Each of the chapters was written by leading early childhood researchers and those who are currently paving new directions and giving new insights into what may be possible for the future with regard to early childhood curriculum and assessment. After two short paragraphs to provisionally frame curriculum and assessment, a short introduction of each chapter is offered based upon three themes: The long way from effective incidental to government-led early childhood education with contributions from Brazil, China, and Israel The special role of play in early childhood education curriculum and assessment that is represented by inputs from Australia and England Research findings that empower the specifics of early childhood curriculum and assessment with texts from the United States, Finland, and the Netherlands
