Evaluation of Pedagogical Quality in Early Childhood Education: A Cross-National Perspective.
Sheridan, Sonja; Schuster, Kathe-Maria
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v16 n1 p109-24 Fall-Win 2001
Examined how the concept of quality in the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECERS) is concretized in pedagogical processes, in a comparison of classroom observations in Germany and Sweden. Observers from each country evaluated preschools in the other country, using the ECERS. Comparisons showed the benefits of using ECERS for facilitating analysis and evaluation of early childhood pedagogical processes. (JPB)
