Description
In early childhood education, it has opened doors to shared resources, innovative teaching methods, and a broader understanding of developmental practices that benefit young learners. However, it also presents challenges, such as the risk of cultural homogenization and the difficulty of adapting global standards to fit diverse local needs. By balancing global influences with respect for local contexts, educators can harness the benefits of globalization to enrich early childhood education while preserving cultural uniqueness.
Globalizing Approaches in Early Childhood Education presents theoretical concepts and practical tasks linked to the amin areas of knowledge established in the educational curriculum of early childhood education. It discusses global approaches that allow teachers to design multidisciplinary proposals to enrich the skills and aptitudes of children in the stage from 0 to 6 years. Covering topics such as children’s rights, motor skills, and work education, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, policymakers, international development organizations, educators, and more.
