Australian Case

There is a growing body of evidence that early engagement in active music-making impacts beneficially on children’s wider development. Recent research indicates that individual and shared music-making in family settings contributes to positive parenting practices and identity development in young children. Children who participate in shared music-making at age 3 are better prepared for school experiences at age 5. These findings suggest music should be a compulsory requirement in any early childhood programme. This article reports the findings of a case study investigation of the provision of music in an Australian Early Childhood Education Centre. Findings suggest that music provision is best supported when there is a high value for music amongst staff, there is a range of value-added as well as integrated uses of music, and there is sustained music professional development for all staff.

Childhood Education

This study presents an attempt to contribute to the field of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by conceptualizing systems thinking skills of four- to six-year-old preschool children with the role of age in this particular skill. For this purpose, we developed and tested a method and instruments to assess and conceptualize systems thinking skills of 52 preschool children in early childhood education contexts from Turkey and Germany. By employing qualitative case study research, we concluded that the young children showed some signs of complex understanding regarding systems thinking in terms of detecting obvious gradual changes and two-step domino and/or multiple one-way causalities, as well as describing behavior of a balancing loop. However, their capacity was found to be limited when it comes to detecting a reinforcing loop, understanding system mechanisms by acknowledging the unintended consequences, detecting hidden components and processes, demonstrating multi-dimensional perspective, solving problems through high-leverage interventions, and predicting the future behavior of the system. Age had a notable effect on the total systems thinking mean scores of the participants.

Documentary Analysis

This study deals with the matter of evaluation in early childhood education concerning mathematical knowledge. It aims to identify which skills are prioritised in the evaluation of preschool classes from a public school. The methodological design is the Case Study, and it is based on the documentary analysis. Fifty-two descriptive evaluation documents elaborated by eight teachers were analysed, taking into account the objectives provided by the Brazilian National Curriculum for Early Childhood Education. The data indicate that most of the mathematical skills related to “Number and Numbering System”, “Greatness and Measures” and “Space and Shape” are evaluated and recorded in the documents. It is noteworthy the absence of references to the notions of successor and predecessor, comparison of numeric writings, the monetary system, and bi and three-dimensional representations of objects.
