Research Around the World

They website I chose to visit is http://www.eecera.org/. One of the international research topics that I while reviewing old journal articles are, The business of childcare in Europe. This article talks about how Education is being marketed as a business in Europe, and how it is supported. It talks about how buisness are funding 

Another article that stood out to me was The effect of curriculum-generated play instruction on the mathematics teaching efficacies of early childhood education pre-service teachers. This article is about a study that had pre-service teachers, working with a curriculum-generated play instruction. Who found it more effective to teach mathematics after being given the play instructed method. 

Other things that I learned from this website is that it holds an annual conference every year in a Different European city, and more than 600 researchers attend from all over the world. It has a Special Interest Groups that (SIGs) where a lot of collaboration from cross-nationalities are made around a particular theme. It produces a very reputable Journal and joins up with other organizations. 

With regards to early childhood the EECERA wants to raise the visibility and urgency of developing high quality ECEC services all over the world.
