Stratigos, Tina – Global Studies of Childhood, 2016
Belonging is a fundamental human need that impacts young children's everyday experiences and wellbeing in group care.

Fleer, Marilyn; Adams, Megan; Gunstone, Richard; Hao, Yijun – International Research in Early Childhood Education, 2016
It has been reported that in cross-cultural contexts, Western science content is often not used in everyday practice, and the learning of science is often viewed as difficult and having no social meaning (e.g., Aikenhead & Michell, 2011). It is suggested that the cultural relevance of everyday family practices and Western constructions of…

In order to co-construct a better understanding of the nature of children's art experiences at home and in educational settings, I interacted with four young children who photographed and discussed their art experiences over the course of one year. As a result of these research processes, and considering John Dewey's (1934/2005) "Art as…

Chen, Feiyan; Fleer, Marilyn – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2016

This article examines how families use play as a tool to support young children's emotion regulation in…
