In this presentation we answer the following questions and give indicative examples of:
- What does the term "participation of children in early childhood education (ECE)" mean?
- What processes does the concept of participation involve?
- What does the term "participation" & "participation in education" denote?
- How do our perceptions of our role as teachers, children and the learning process influence our practices regarding children's participation in the educational process?
- What are the preconditions for children’s participation in ECE?
- What forms can children's participation take and how do they vary in relation to different levels of participation?
This presentation assists you to reflect about the meaning and ways to enhance both children's "voices" and their "silences" during the educational process.
