Towards a Global Paradigm for Research into Early Childhood Education.
Woodhead, Martin
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v7 n1 p5-22 1999
Acknowledges that early-childhood education is a global practice and examines underlying images of the child. Questions the adequacy of current research to encompass global childhoods, how child development is conceptualized within early-childhood work, and children's status within early-education research and practice. Notes a current paradigm shift that will move beyond traditional concepts of early-childhood education. (LBT)
