4th ICECE

Call for Papers

Distinct from other period of time, the 21st century is characterised by so much knowledge -easy to access but hard to grasp, borderless and hyper-connected society mediated by the internet, high competitiveness -not only within a country but across countries, high mobility, and widening economic discrepancy as neoliberalism has strengthened its influence on every sector of human life. The children of today will face many things that have not been invented or discovered yet, sometime beyond expectations. Scholars and teachers of early childhood education need to be aware of these astonishing changes. The way we see children and childhood cannot stay the same, so does the way we educate the children of the century. This conference aims at opening a discussion about finding alternative approaches, theories, and best practices of early childhood education for a rapidly changing and globalised society.

We are calling for papers of the following but not limited to these themes:

1. Philosophical Issues in Early Childhood Education
2. Health and Nutrition in Early Childhood Education
3. Curriculum and Assessment of Early Childhood Education
4. Child Rights, Access and Quality in Early Childhood Education
5. Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) in Early Childhood Education
