The diversity of approaches to early childhood education and care research has been highlighted in recent Australasian Journal of Early Childhood editorials (Blewitt, 2022; de Rosnay, 2021; Edwards, 2021). These editorials have highlighted how knowledge and values are socially constructed and in doing so shape research in practice. Like diversity in research, the beliefs and values that educators bring to their professional practice are also significant and known to impact upon children’s learning and development (Sandvik et al., 2014). In early childhood education and care (ECEC), beliefs and values about learning and development can be seen in the views educators hold about young children.

幼儿教育工作者的多样化实践

澳大利亚幼儿教育杂志最近的社论（Blewitt，2022；de Rosnay，2021；Edwards，2021）强调了幼儿教育和护理研究方法的多样性。这些社论强调了知识和价值观是如何在社会上构建的，并由此塑造了实践中的研究。与研究的多样性一样，教育工作者为他们的专业实践带来的信念和价值观也很重要，并且众所周知会影响儿童的学习和发展（Sandvik et al., 2014）。在幼儿教育和护理 (ECEC) 中，关于学习和发展的信念和价值观可以从教育者对幼儿的看法中看出。
