Early Years (EY)

Early Years: An International Research Journal publishes research papers and scholarly critiques on all issues associated with early childhood (pre-primary) education and care. The journal’s overall approach is international and multi-disciplinary, aiming to broaden the cross-national debate by representing a wide range of perspectives from different countries, different disciplines and different research methodologies and paradigms. As the official journal of TACTYC (Together And Committed To Young Children), a particular focus of Early Years is the initial and continuing professional development of early years practitioners for increasingly complex and demanding work within multi-professional teams and with families from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. The editors welcome original and clearly written contributions, in English, which: inform the initial education, training and continuing professional development of the full spectrum of early years practitioners, including centre leaders and managers, group leaders (teachers, pedagogues, educators), support staff, and higher education academics critique understandings of pedagogy, professionalism and professional work across cultural and national contexts foreground children’s rights and inclusive practices towards family diversity in different settings and contexts report on research projects review the implications of work across a specific area of research critically review policy frameworks and goals related to early childhood education and care
