Abstract:
The purpose of this research study is to identify teachers&rsquo<br>perceptions on the effectiveness of their teacher education programs in supporting their professional practices. The data to the study were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 17 in-service teachers working in public early childhood institutions in Ankara. The data were analyzed through the emerging codes and themes shaped by the research questions. The results indicated that the 1998 program the study intended to investigate was found to be relatively satisfying in terms of developing professional teach ing compe

Abstract:
This project is a study of how initial teacher education works for early childhood preservice teachers and what it does. It brings to light some of the multidimensional dynamics that operate in initial teacher education. Using a rhizomethodological approach the inquiry found that the politics of belonging; border crossing; and, respecting the alterity of an Other; offer new ways for thinking about how initial teacher education works. Initial teacher education program, policy and pedagogy implications are generated by this inquiry and future research pathways are proposed.

Standardized tests are being administered to young children in greater numbers in recent years than ever before.

Many early childhood educators have become dissatisfied with multiple-choice testing as a measure of student learning and are increasingly using various forms of alternative assessment to replace the more tradi

In order to help children gain a more robust understanding of place value, teachers must understand the connections and relationships among the related concepts as well as possess knowledge of how children learn early number concepts.
