CORE-PRINCIPLES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

BENCHMARKS FOR PRACTICAL PEDAGOGY

Abstract

The proposed work focuses on the analysis of the core principles underlying professional practices in early education and performs a comparative analysis between these ideal benchmarks in education and training found in different educational systems. First of all, the principles that support the idea of child-centered education in the early stages are analyzed, but also other principles that underpin the educational activity, anticipating a good development and learning of children in the first years of life.
