Integrated early childhood care: conception for its achievement
Abstract
The article deals with how to establish the relationships between the nursery school, the preschool grade in primary schools and the Educate your child program, to improve the work of educational agents, while organizing the educational process. The aim of the work is to present a theoretical-methodological conception that enables the articulation between the modalities of attention to the child of early childhood and is specified in revealing the relationships between the components that make up early childhood, which is distinguished by offering the design of the interrelation of the personal and organizational components for the solution of the problems that are manifested in different work scenarios. The foundations of the socio-critical approach are assumed, which enables the use of participatory action research as a fundamental method. The main methods of the theoretical level were applied: historical logical, synthetic analytical, inductive-deductive, structural systemic and as empirical methods: observation, interview, survey, modeling, documentary analysis and triangulation of sources. In addition to the percentage calculation and qualitative data analysis for the comparison and interpretation of the results obtained in educational practice, the research was able to modify the performance of the educational agents involved in the educational process, and from their joint action to solve or mitigate the effects of the shortcomings that occur in practice in the modalities of early childhood care through institutional and non-institutional channels.
