Este artículo presenta la experiencia y los dilemas de enseñanza de un grupo de docentes en la formación inicial de profesorado del Grado en Educación Infantil, en su adaptación a la virtualidad ocasionada por la COVID-19. Un proyecto que, con 10 años de andadura, ofrece una oportunidad para repensar la formación inicial en el marco del confinamiento. Inicialmente se describe el complejo e incierto contexto social actual y los retos ineludibles para la formación inicial del profesorado: la reconstrucción del conocimiento práctico de nuestras estudiantes y el diseño de un habitus vivencial y crítico como sostén de los principios pedagógicos de la experiencia que describimos en la segunda parte. Un triángulo didáctico en relación permanente con las reflexiones de las estudiantes y los debates e inquietudes que como docentes hemos compartido en los espacios de coordinación y adaptación a la virtualidad. Las conclusiones de esta experiencia sitúan la coordinación y la tutorización como ejes relevantes, al mismo tiempo en el que se advierten las dificultades e imposibilidad de que una experiencia de formación inicial de docentes íntegramente virtual -sin una práctica en relación y presencia de los niños y niñas- facilite la reconstrucción del conocimiento práctico de maestras y maestros de Educación Infantil. This article presents the experience and teaching dilemmas of a group of teachers in the Initial Early Childhood Teachers’ Training, in their adaptation to the virtuality caused by COVID-19. A 10-year-old project that offers an opportunity to rethink Initial Teacher Training in confinement. Initially, the complex and uncertain current social context and the inescapable challenges for Initial Teacher Training are described: the reconstruction of the practical knowledge of our students and the design of an experiential and critical habitus as support for the pedagogical principles of the experience that we describe in the second part. A didactic triangle in permanent relationship with the students’ reflections and the debates and concerns that we, as teachers, have shared in the spaces of coordination and adaptation to virtuality. The conclusions of this experience place coordination and tutoring as relevant axes. At the same time, the difficulties and impossibility of a fully virtual Initial Teacher Training experience facilitating the reconstruction of the practical knowledge of Early Childhood Education teachers without a practice in relation to children are noted.

The chances of success of the internship in early childhood education, which takes place in the third degree, are very high. However, there may be circumstances that may befall the teacher-training student, which in a way turn the formative experience into a pretext for personal and professional growth. In order to know and understand its practice, we use narrative methodology. It is the most suitable way we have found to share his voice, giving him epistemological authority and being a pretext to improve from his experience. Her words lead us to understand that she wants to be a teacher, and that she learns in any situation, even though her tutor is in a context and with a very particular reality. The conclusion is in continuous construction as the student has learned, disapproved and reappeared with the practice; from being a student of practice to becoming one in practice.

Childhood Education

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers have a central role in supporting young children’s physical activity (PA) and overall development in the early years. However, the value of early childhood education teacher training (ECETT) programmes is not widely understood. This study aimed to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of perceived competence when (1) supporting a child’s PA, (2) teaching PE, and (3) observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. These self-evaluations were compared with a range of individual, educational, and behavioural characteristics. Final-year Bachelor degree pre-service teachers (n = 274; 54%) from seven universities in Finland participated in the self-report questionnaire. The results of the linear regression models showed that the relevant PE studies and previous experiences of pre-service teachers predicted higher perceived competence of supporting a child’s PA, teaching PE, and observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. Thus, the study findings demonstrated how teacher training could positively influence perceptions and attitudes to increase a person’s perceived competence when implementing PE in the early years. Overall, results reinforce the importance of PE in ECETT, and the time devoted to this syllabus area should be maintained or increased.

Preparedness To Teach

The benefits of beginning Education for Sustainability (EfS) in early childhood are now widely documented. With the support of their teachers, young children have shown that through engagement in sustainability practices they are capable of becoming active citizens in their communities (Duhn, Bachmann, & Harris, 2010; Kelly & White, 2012; Ritchie, 2010; Vaealiki & Mackey, 2008). Engagement with EfS has not been widespread across the early childhood sector in Aotearoa New Zealand (Duhn et al., 2010; Vaealiki & Mackey, 2008) until recently. One way of addressing EfS in early childhood education is through teacher education institutions preparing students to teach EfS when they graduate.

Great Energy

The existence of COVID-19 which still hit Indonesia until in November 2020 had a negative impact on education in Indonesia, especially early childhood education. This makes learning, which was a face-to-face system, must be changed to distance education. In order for learning to continue optimally, of course, the teacher must be able to apply different learning strategies. In the pandemic era, schools implement online learning strategies, including at the Playgroup level. Online learning for children, of course, presents its challenges for the teachers. This study aims to investigate online learning strategies at the playgroup level. Play is also a means for children to channel their great energy and discover new things that were previously unknown in a fun way. And this is certainly different from learning that is understood by adults with all the rules and demands at the end. Playing (while learning) in early childhood has a purpose that adults may not realize, where when a child plays, in fact he is developing the potential that exists within him to become a solid initial capital for himself in the future when facing problems in life. This paper is expected to provide references and education to parents and early childhood teachers in particular to be able to understand the world of early childhood, one of which is by understanding the nature of play and the meaning of play for early childhood. This is obtained by exploring various sources from several literatures from the results of research and thought where the results can be used for early childhood parents and teachers to be more precise in assisting and designing learning for early childhood so that the pearl of early childhood learning, namely playing while learning can be achieved.

Te Whāriki

The views that early childhood teachers have of children and childhood are informed by the rhetoric and theories of early childhood, their cultures, life stories, philosophies, and ongoing practices as teachers. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Te Whāriki, the legislated national curriculum for early childhood education, further guides early childhood teachers’ practice and frames teachers’ image of the young child. This article confronts and critiques a short phrase that is an addition to the revised Te Whāriki curriculum document, specifically the phrase that children “need to learn how to learn”. This phrase implies that young children do not know how to learn. The implication in this utterance belies the intense drive that children have to learn, to play, to explore, and to understand as they grow in strength in their sense of self within their whānau and communities. We care about the image that this presents to student teachers, to teachers. We challenge whether the notion that children need to learn how to learn is the image that early childhood teachers hold, or want to hold, of children. We argue that this phrase and image of the child as needing to learn how to learn is a loose thread in the whāriki that potentially undermines and is counter to the more dominant concept within Te Whāriki of the competent child.
