The coronavirus disease pandemic affected people's lives in different ways, including child education and parent-child interactions. The present study aimed to identify the educational opportunities of children and challenges of parents during this pandemic. This study was conducted using a qualitative and phenomenological method. The participants were 23 parents of children aged 7-12 years, selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews, which continued until data saturation was reached, and then classified and processed following Strauss and Glasser's approach. The findings were classified as parenting transformation, attachment challenges, and parenting challenges due to macro-systemic changes. Online education and changes caused by social distancing were the most significant parenting challenges. Moreover, children did not have the necessary space to be independent and self-sufficient. For many children, adapting to virtual education has been challenging; therefore, parents should change their parenting control and support. The emergence of such challenges has led to the creation of more opportunities in the field of child education.

‘El PISA preescolar’: Un nuevo paradigma para la evaluación de los alumnos y alumnas de educación infantil

EEste artículo tiene como objetivo revisar, discutir y criticar el Estudio Internacional de Aprendizaje Temprano y Bienestar Infantil (IELS) de la OCDE, como una nueva evaluación internacional estandarizada para la educación infantil, que se vislumbra como un PISA a nivel preescolar. El artículo analiza el discurso dominante de la calidad en educación infantil en las nuevas políticas globales que sugieren lo que es mejor para la infancia y ofrece una revisión del trabajo previo de la OCDE en el campo de la educación infantil. Presentamos las principales críticas sobre el proyecto IELS y sus posibles consecuencias, su impacto en la política y en la práctica educativa. En las conclusiones del artículo destacamos que si bien es necesaria la investigación en el ámbito de la educación infantil para identificar los desafíos pendientes, el IELS no es la mejor manera por cuanto conforma parte de una red mundial de medición en expansión y conlleva el peligro de tratar los hallazgos producidos por método cuantitativos como una representación de la realidad, sin someterla a preguntas e interpretaciones diversas en cada contexto nacional.

The aim of the research was to determine the size of the problem of learning differentials for preschool children for the target group during the period from 20/4/1436 to 3/5/1436 AH, while applied to the sample studied during the period from 5/5/1436 to 13/5 / 1436 e. The researcher used the descriptive method of "survey study". The researcher applied some scientific tests and measurements to measure some learning differences on a sample of (100) children and their child (53 males and 47 females) in pre-school in Jeddah. The results of the study showed that the differences in visual memory were the most common learning differences (51%) and the auditory differences (25%), followed by learning differences (24%) and mathematical inference (24%) respectively. The results also showed significant differences between males and females in the tests of hyperactivity, dizziness, attention, social interaction, writing, and auditory perception for females, and males and females are equal in tests of social maturity, pre-reading, mathematical inference and visual memory.

As well as the importance of focusing teachers on activities that are concerned with the development of the child's senses in general, and on audio-visual activities in particular, and assigning the task of pre-school teaching to qualified teachers in the field of child education.

A criança e a infância na escola: o que revelam os professores da rede municipal de caruaru – pe

This text is present as a snip of a set of reflexions that composes a dissertation that inserts itself in the current discussion around the place given to children and childhood in the space destined to childhood education in the city of Caruaru – PE, from the understanding of the teacher's discourses that work in that level of education. This work has as an objective to capture the discourses attributed by the teachers of Childhood Education to the children, to the childhood and to the Childhood Education, focusing on the discourses which have subsidized the teachers’ forms of intervention in the space/time of Childhood Education. In this context, we have bound as our investigative field Municipal Centers of Childhood Education in the city of Caruaru – PE (CMEIS), from which it were contemplated 06 Educational Centers and interviewed a total of 12 (twelve) teachers. As a methodological procedure, we used semistructured interviews and for data analysis we supported ourselves in theoretical-methodological contributions of the discourse analysis. We start with the assumption that, despite the changes and the proccess of resignification ocurred in this field, including the own understanding of child, childhood and Childhood Education, the school of the children/childhood is assuming a link with the childhood that inserts it in a chronological time, associating it to the future, to a dubious minority. From a theoretical view, we start from the questioning of the very notion of childhood and Childhood Education, its meanings and the implications of those in the field of child education. The analyzed discourses, distributed in discoursive networks, generally speaking, present various statements and temporalities to the childhood, the child and the Childhood Education, but not excluding ones. Although in all the discourses is possible to identify an enlargement of the concern with tha place of the child, the childhood in the practices of Childhood Education, it shows evidences of permanence so as of changes in the form of discourse to the child, the childhood and, consequently, the Childhood Education. The data, therefore, express a diversity of meanings and interpretations, but indicates how much the school and its subjects still lack of a more assertive relationship with the child and the childhood.

In the context of a daycare center: nursing and their representations of child care as an educational act.

This study aimed to analyze the social representations in the professionals of technical staff, who work with children at USP daycare centers. Eight professionals of the nursing field underwent a semi-structured interview. The interviews were recorded and transcribed in their entirety and the content of the discourse was subjected to thematic-categorical analysis. The categories were transformed into variables and processed by the software Classification Hiérarchique Classificatoire et Cohésitive (CHIC®) and analyzed by the hierarchical similarity tree. The results indicate that actions to promote health are reported as educational and transformative, in which health care gains new meaning through contextualized conceptions in the field of child education. We conclude that professionals attribute new meanings to their practices in the health care environment of daycare centers as their representations shifts from the logic of the biomedical field to a logic of educational care. In this sense, they perceive themselves as being challenged to establish an interaction with the children in terms of their activities related to the promotion of health and in an educational act.

Odpowiedzialność za wychowanie dzieci w wybranej literaturze wczesnochrześcijańskiej

This article is a presentation of the problem of parents’ responsibility in rai­sing their children. The first part shows a few general, but fundamental aspects of child upbringing in the Greco-Roman world. The next part describes ancient Christian texts written in Syria about the given problem (Didascalia Apostolorum, Constitutiones Apostolorum and selected works by St. John Chrysostom). These texts contain sincere admonishments to bring up children in accord with Christian ideals. Parents were sensitized to see the need for well-rounded moral and re­ligious education of their children as well as for guarding them from negative influence of the surrounding world. The ultimate goal of such education was the salvation of the child (and the parents). In order to achieve this aim parents were required to use severe methods such as physical punishment, and to become more involved as educators, teachers and people responsible for the Christian formation of their children. It appears from these texts that although ancient Christian thinkers drew extensively from the achievements of classical culture in the field of child education and tried to transplant worthy ideals on the Christian ground, yet they gave them a different dimension and directed them toward a different aim.

Dílogo de saberes sobre participación infantil [A Dialogue of Knowledges about Child Participation

679 Children, Youth and Environments Vol. 17 No. 2 (2007) ISSN: 1546-2250 Diálogo de saberes sobre participación infantil [A Dialogue of Knowledges about Child Participation] Corona Caraveo, Yolanda and Morfín Stoopen, María (2001). Mexico City: UNICEF; 159 pages. ISBN 9706549811. Introduction1 This book is conceived from Utopia, from a place of trust, from the certainty that it is possible to envisage a different society. This sense is poetically expressed by the words of María Zambrano opening the book: “The human being walks through history, after himself, getting caught up in his hope, dreaming himself, sometimes inventing himself.” The contents of the book express the wish of a generation that allows itself the luxury of envisaging the future in order to act in the present, that wants to contribute to building a different society—a society centered around individuals’ dignity, where relationships may be more just, equitable, plural, and inclusive. Diálogo de sabers [A Dialogue of Knowledges] is also a book constructed from a distrust of absolute certainties, of final truths. It recognizes the need to permanently revise our premises. As the authors say, it is a book that initiates a dialogue with a question, assuming that the path has not yet been traced. However, its proposition has a clear framework—human rights and the values of democracy—while it acknowledges the fact that these are under permanent revision and construction but nevertheless are beacons for action. Diálogo de saberes speaks to us of democracy as a decision that society makes and that affects all the areas of life—public and private, relationships between couples, family dynamics, treatment of boys and girls, and work relationships. It speaks of democracy as a view of the world. 680 The challenge can be appreciated in the quotation from Alfredo Astorga and Diego Pólit: the easiest thing is to change the apparel, the simplest thing is to alter the scenery. The deepest thing is to change the everyday, those small things… that make up all of life. The main topic is participation, a basic ingredient of democracy as both a government style and a lifestyle. However, the book focuses on the need to include children in the construction of this democratic society we want to build. This is a treatise on child participation that uses a dialogue of knowledges as its resource; it promotes a conversation between theory and practice, asks questions of the experts on the subject, and includes the reflections of promoters in the field of child education who work in a variety of communities. Thus, the authors finely weave a conversation between theory and practice that enables us to become co-authors as the book encourages us to reflect on our own practice and generate new knowledge from it. Myths about Child Participation In this pioneering study on child participation, the authors express the conviction that the interests of future generations must be an integral part of the present and of public decisions. In this context, the meeting of academic work and the experience of civil society is enriching, because a dialogue between knowledges not only promotes learning but also contributes to the construction of citizenship. The book demystifies a great number of prejudices. Below are 11 myths that this work lays bare. 1. Child and Youth Rights Are a Threat to Adults The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) represents a great worldwide step forward in that it rethinks the relationships between States and children, and between the adult world and children’s world. However, in everyday life, this change has proved threatening to many adults who grew up within an authoritarian culture without awareness of their condition as holders of rights, 681 and therefore regard children’s rights as a pretext for licentiousness. The book also stresses the need to develop democratic relationships among children themselves in which they recognize one another as holders of rights, as well as learn how to converse and solve conflicts. 2. Children and Youth Are Incapable Beings The CRC brought an end to the designation of minors as negatively defined individuals—i.e., characterized by the things they lack or do not...

Brinquedo e brincadeira na educação infantil japonesa: proposta curricular dos anos 90

A política educacional do Japão dos anos 90, influenciada pela globalização e internacionalização, reforma os jardins-de-infância oficiais. Destinada a crianças de 3 a 5 anos, os jardins-de-infância oficiais definem uma proposta pedagógica em torno do brincar, como forma de levar a criança a conhecer seu ambiente, a socializar-se, a aprender a linguagem, a expressar-se e a criar. Em virtude da predominância do atendimento particular no campo da educação infantil e a pouca participação do governo, o brincar ocupa pouco espaço nas escolas infantis.
