Fragkiadaki, Glykeria; Fleer, Marilyn; Rai, Prabhat – Research in Science Education, 2023
A substantial number of empirical studies in the field of Early Childhood Science Education have explored science concept formation in early childhood educational settings. Most of these studies focus on the process of science concept formation during a teaching intervention or a school year period. However, less is known about how children form…

Cooper, Maria; Quiñones, Gloria; Salamon, Andi; Stratigos, Tina – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2023
Undertaking infant-toddler practicum during initial teacher education is critical to ensuring preservice teachers (PSTs) are well prepared for their future role as early childhood teachers. PSTs, however, can face challenges in infant-toddler practicum given the demands of this unique teaching and learning context. A knowledgeable, experienced…

Cooper, Maria; Quiñones, Gloria – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
An expansive view of care is vital to understanding children's sense-making of their care experiences in early childhood education. Yet, scant literature explores how toddlers enact and express understandings of care in their play with objects and others. This article identifies play situations where toddlers enact and express understandings, and…

MacDonald, Amy – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2020
There is general agreement that young children are capable of accessing mathematical ideas and should be given the opportunity to do so in their early childhood educational settings. However, existing research has established a range of challenges for early childhood mathematics education; in particular, related to educators' confidence and…

Hudry, Kristelle; Chetcuti, Lacey; Boutrus, Maryam; Pillar, Sarah; Baker, Emma K.; Dimov, Stefanie; Barbaro, Josephine; Green, Jonathan; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O.; Varcin, Kandice J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Often included within 'high-risk sibling' studies, the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI) has only one independent replication study and no evaluation with community-ascertained cohorts. We administered the AOSI and established clinical measures with 103 infants (68% male) at 'high autism likelihood' on the Social Attention and…

MacDonald, Amy – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
There is clear evidence that early mathematical development sets the foundation for success in later mathematics learning; however, there is little research which considers mathematics education for children under three years of age. This paper provides a snapshot of findings from a national survey of early childhood educators conducted as part of…

Saltmarsh, Sue; Lee, I-Fang – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2021
Play is a central discourse in policy and practice pertaining to young children's learning, development and well-being in many countries around the world. Dominant ways of understanding and advocating for play often construct universalising notions of children and childhood, overlooking that play is always-already culturally situated and…

Davis, Belinda; Dunn, Rosemary – Cogent Education, 2022
There is strong evidence that access to high quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) has a range of benefits for children's long-term development and learning outcomes. Furthermore, ECEC has the most benefits for children who experience vulnerability, marginalisation and disadvantage (Heckman, 2008; OECD Starting Strong, 2017; National…

Sumsion, Jennifer; Harrison, Linda J.; Stapleton, Matthew – Journal of Pedagogy, 2018
In this article, we endeavour to think spatially about the texture of infants' everyday lives and their ways of 'doing' belonging in the babies' room in an Australian early childhood education and care centre. Drawing on data from a large, multiple case-study project, and on theorisations of space that reject Euclidean notions of space as empty,…

Davies, Benjamin; Xu Rattanasone, Nan; Demuth, Katherine – Language Learning and Development, 2020
English-speaking children use plural morphology from around the age of 2, yet often omit the syllabic plural allomorph /-[schwa]z/ until age 5 (e.g., "bus(es)"). It is not clear if this protracted acquisition is due to articulatory difficulties, low input frequency, or fricative-final words (e.g., "bus," "nose") being…
