52.040 - Reconsidering Context: An Examination of the Role of Context in Research and Practice in Early Childhood

Sat, April 18, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Marriott, Floor: Fourth Level, Belmont

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Using Erickson’s (2014) call for a more nuanced understanding of context in the design and execution of educational research, the authors in this session examine the role of context in early childhood education. The five studies engage with context at different levels and perspectives, examining how rich knowledge of local practices can provide important insights into the work of teachers and the learning of children. Together these studies illustrate how context is a powerful tool in research that provides insight into the needs of teachers and children in under-served communities.
