Principles Underlying the Work of Icelandic Preschool Teachers.
Einarsdottir, Johanna
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v11 n1 p39-53 2003
Investigated working methods of two Icelandic preschool teachers, their beliefs about early childhood education, and goals of their programs. Found that their methods, goals, and beliefs reflected a romantic view of children and childrearing. One teacher had more content-oriented goals than the other, more in line with contemporary U.S. early childhood education. The second teacher's goals were more global and related to Scandinavian and Icelandic preschool tradition. (Author/KB)
