Research Around the World


  • What are some of the current international research topics?Early Childhood Australia is continuously monitoring the news for information concerning the well being and development of young children. ( Early Childhood Austria, 2012) Research is performed on the local, state, and national levels including information about child detention. Child detention has lasting, harmful effects on children of Australia. I believe detention of children needs to immediately be a major topic of concern and needs to be rectified because it is inhumane and traumatizing, there should be other options available and implemented. Imagine a child fleeing war, poverty, and or abuse and being punished and convicted like a criminal. The children are often alone, and separated from caregivers and left vulnerable to sexual abuse.


  • What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?
Something I found interesting about Australia was Families living on remote, isolated farms and stations usually rely on distance education for their children’s preschool and early schooling.

  • What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?
The membership section informs people by holding membership that they can qualify for a tax deduction for Early Childhood Professionals and students working in the early childhood field in Australia that is surly and added benefit Iam sure many are excited about receiving once membership has been acquired.
