Mobile Devices and Preschool Children: Do Their Parents Know How Much They Know?

Even children as young as toddlers are already very skilled in using ICT, especially smartphones and tablets. The aim of this study was to identify differences in the use and frequency of use of mobile devices among preschool children from the perspective of the children and their parents. Thirty preschool children and their parents attending a public early childhood setting in Croatia participated in the study. Parents gave their written consent for their children to participate in the study. Data on children's use of mobile devices were collected through interviews with children in their early childhood setting, and parents' views on mobile device use in their families were obtained through a questionnaire. The research findings suggest that parents are not fully aware of their children's knowledge about mobile device use, but they are aware of the importance of parental supervision and guidance for children to use mobile devices well and appropriately.

According to experiences of conducting ethnographic video studies in mixed age kindergarten groups, this paper reflects on the processes of negotiating initial and ongoing consent, problematizes the notion of 'informed' consent in exploratory research with young children, and considers questions of anonymity when collecting and reporting on visual data. The paper proposes that by adopting a flexible, reflective stance, researchers can learn much from children about their perspectives and the inclusion of young children in the research process.

According to the data of the World Health Organization, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for adolescents, and the second-ranking for the population of children between the ages of 5 and 14. According to the mean standardized mortality rate of children, Croatia is among those EU countries that need to put an additional work in prevention of traffic accidents, especially in urban environments. This paper presents a review of previous studies and positive experiences in implementing preventive measures for the traffic safety of children. In addition to educational programs that have given positive results, this paper displays the performance evaluation of engineering measures aimed at road infrastructure....

S druge strane, implementacija Bolonjskog procesa u prostor visokog obrazovanja pretpostavlja uvažavanje studentske perspektive o profesionalnim zadacama i profesiji opcenito. Iz toga proizlazi postojanje suprotstavljenih perspektiva – socijalnih (ono sto od odgojiteljske profesije ocekuje drustvo) i individualnih (studentsko viđenje odgojiteljske profesije). S obzirom na to da se studenti odgojiteljskih studija mogu obrazovati na preddiplomskom i diplomskom sveucilisnom studiju, odnosno omoguceno im je studiranje po modelu 3+2, te da su studijski programi podložni revizijama i promjenama, bitno je saznati nesto vise ostudentskom viđenju profesije za koju se obrazuju. Kako bi se saznalo postoje lirazlike u studentskom viđenju odgojiteljskog poziva u odnosu na razine obrazovanja, konstruiran je anketni upitnik koji se ...

Prirodno učenje matematičkih pojmova u dječjem vrtiću

The Third International Scientific Colloquium Mathematics and Children : The math teacher : proceedings = Treći međunarodni znanstveni skup Matematika i dijete : učitelj matematike : zbornik radova / Pavleković, Margita - Zagreb : Element, 2011

Rad se utemeljuje na primjeni etnografske metode kojom su se tijekom dvije godine u dječjem vrtiću „Dječji svijet“ u Varaždinu prikupljali i interpretirali podaci o dječjem prirodnom, praktičnom učenju početnih matematičkih pojmova u socijalnim interakcijama s drugom djecom i odgojiteljem kroz eksploraciju funkcioniranja vage i spontano nastalih i rješavanih praktičnih problema u svezi s tim. Naknadna zajednička refleksija etnografskih zapisa koju su kontinuirano provodili odgojitelji i pedagog, omogućila je da se putem stručnog dijaloga dogovaraju i primjenjuju promjene u materijalnoj ponudi za eksploraciju i rješavanje problema kod djece kao i promjene u socio- pedagoškom ozračju odgojnih skupina. Pretpostavka da će se u kvalitetnijim uvjetima okruženja za učenje amplificirati postojeća dječja iskustva i stjecati nova u cilju boljeg razumijevanja osnovnih matematičkih pojmova i holistički djelovati na sve aspekte dječjeg razvoja se potvrdila. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju neposrednu povezanost kvalitete okruženja (socijalnog i fizičkog) s kvalitetom dječjeg učenja i razumijevanja navedenih matematičkih pojmova. Materijalizacija dječjeg mišljenja i razumijevanja matematičkih pojmova putem akcije, opisana i interpretirana u nizu praktičnih egzemplara dječjeg učenja u ovom radu, pokazuje kako okruženje „hrani“ učenje.

Decision-making and overconfidence in preschool children: The role of psychopathy features

Personality and Individual Differences

Parents rated psychopathy features of their children using the Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI), whereas decision-making biases were assessed in an experiment using the adopted Atkinson and Litwin's (1960) ring toss paradigm. Results of the regression analyses showed that Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits and Grandiose-Deceitful (GD) interpersonal style were related to goal discrepancy, but in opposite directions. Specifically, after the first trial, once their score was made known to them, children high on CU traits exhibited less goal discrepancy (i.e., overconfidence) in a ring toss task, whereas the GD dimension was significantly related to greater overconfidence and a smaller number of unusual shifts across all trials. With respect to gender differences, callous-unemotional traits were related to a greater number of unusual shifts in females. Conversely, males exhibiting higher levels of callous-unemotional traits were less likely to make unusual shifts. These findings imply that instructions to encourage children to overconfidence need to be adapted to gender as well as personality features.

A Future for All Teaching for a Sustainable Society, 2018

This study is based on the data collected during a longitudinal study (ECLAT project supported by Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ-IP-2016-06-3917) about executive functions, individual characteristics, parenting, and early experiences in transition from preschool children to primary school-aged children. Child development can be best conceived within a set of inter-related systems that simultaneously exert their influence on children, thus, the child’s development does not depend exclusively on individual factors, but also on the systems of interaction within the child’s life environment (Bronfenbrenner, 1979) so we gave emphasis on parents and teachers perspective of a child. The study involved 160 pairs of children and their parents randomly selected, their former kindergarten teachers and current primary school teachers. In the first round, parents and kindergarten teachers completed a questionnaire about a children’s prosocial behaviour at home and in preschool setting respectively. In the second round (a year later), the children’s prosocial behaviour was evaluated again, this time by parents and primary school teachers. The project has the statement of the ethics committee of Faculty of Social Sciences. An informed consent has been obtained from children' parents and children every year. The parents’ and educators’ perception of the child can bring them together to cooperate or bring the two of them apart. The parent-teacher partnership is positively associated with the child’s wellbeing, social orientation, emotionality and learning.

Early childhood practicum as a place for transformation of early childhood students' conceptions of teaching and learning

Previous studies showed that working with children in early years' practicum, creates opportunities for early childhood student to re-think their existing beliefs about children ways of thinking and learning (Recchia, Shin,2010), particularly if they were based on documentation. Rinaldi (2006) emphasises that for the teacher, being able to reflect on how the learning is proceeding means that teacher can base his teaching not on what he wants to teach, but on what the child wants to learn. The theoretical framework of the study is socio-cultural with reference to Dewey, Vygotsky and Rogoff. The design of the study was qualitative case study in nature, involving 25 students. The data were collected through pre and post focus group interviews, document analysis of their documentation and reflections about their documentation experience. An informed consent has been obtained from all students to provide confidentiality. Early practicum provided a unique context for challenging some previously held notions concerning early childhood teaching and learning as the students encountered. When student teacher sees their role as learning alongside the children, their actions and documentation is very different than when they are thinking of their self as a conveyer of information, mediators of conflicts. Implications for future research and practice for early childhood teacher preparation programs are discussed particularly on basis of pedagogical documentation.
