Abstract

This paper explores how different forms of pre-school education have developed in various countries on different continents. Particular attention is paid to European traditions of pre-school education and how their roots differ in post-communist countries and in traditional western European countries. It is drawn primarily from experience of one particular post-communist country – the Slovak Republic. Doubt is cast on whether there is such a thing as a universal European tradition, and contrasts are made between “aesthetic” and “craft” approaches to pre-school education. The paper highlights the historic roots of centralised national programmes that take the form of prescriptive documents concerned either with the inputs or outputs of education and which differ from a traditional, open, framework-based curriculum. It draws attention to the issue of a “culturally relevant pedagogy” in the search for appropriate pre-schooling models for developing countries. The paper is based on the author’s personal experiences as the head of a team tasked with creating and implementing a new pre-school education programme in the Slovak Republic and as an academic performing comparative research on pre-school education in different cultures.

Abstract

This article returns to the historical roots of ECEC and considers them within the context of contemporary international preschool education policy. Present-day policy is characterised by the high level of support directed at this education level. The reasons for this are largely economic and ECEC is becoming part of economic development strategy. Frequently research such as the HighScope Perry Preschool Program can be found in the background. In many ways contemporary ECEC is reminiscent of education policy under communism in Europe. This area represents a concealed spot in the international research on preschool education. The extensive expansion of nursery schools in these countries took place from the middle of the last century onwards. They were the first countries to create preschool curricula at the national level. They also often relied on the first attempt at an early years curriculum, contained in John Amos Comenius’s The School of Infancy (Informatorium of Maternal School).

Abstract

This paper offers a comparative analysis of early childhood education in three countries on two continents – Slovakia, Indonesia and Nepal. The analysis is based on long-term observations and research in ECEC in these countries. It shows that education mirrors culture, reflecting key aspects of it – physical, political, cultural and religious. Despite strong globalizing pressures to change and modernize, education is a localized phenomenon. ECEC is presented through its geographical contexts and geography of education is considered a suitable methodology for further research in ECEC. The article looks at how geographical characteristics shape education in the countries compared and briefly outlines the effect religious faith has on education in different countries and parts of the world.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the increasing cases of child abuse in Indonesia, with perpetrators often coming from close family members. This study to design an application that facilitates abuse victims in filing complaints. The research method used is Research & Development (R&D). Data collection techniques include field observation using observation sheets and interviews, a checklist for assessing abuse cases, questionnaires, expert assessment instruments, field notes, a questionnaire for evaluating the effectiveness of the application, and a checklist for assessing the application's usefulness. The subjects of this research are children, particularly those in early childhood. The result of this research is the design of a mobile-based child protection application, SI-ADU, which can be accessed by children or parents to file complaints. The implications of this study suggest that it can help the Gorontalo local government reduce the number of child abuse cases by up to 19% since the pilot testing was conducted. The easy access and use of techniques to defend or protect oneself from abuse, as well as rapid mitigation for child victims of abuse through smartphones, can contribute to improving safety and preventing violence within children's communities. The conclusion of this study is that the SI-ADU application can be an effective solution in addressing child abuse by providing victims with quick and easy access to report abuse cases and involve authorities in the handling of these cases.
