European Early Childhood Education Research Association
I looked into the EECERA web site and found that many of the
research topics that we are looking into in this country are similar to those
being researched in Europe. Issues like
equity and diversity, the importance of play and working with parents and families
are all currently being researched. In
addition they are looking into the importance of men in the lives of children
and are trying to create a more gender balance within the field of early care
and education. Having done a little research
into this topic myself, I found it very interesting how they are going about
attempting to create the gender balance.
In addition to conducting these research projects some governments have
funded programs specifically designed to start bringing more men into the
field. They are hopeful that providing
training, recruitment and retention of men for the field will encourage and
provide more opportunities for a man’s influence into the lives of young
children.
