“…Some mathematics learning media sometimes have been provided by each early childhood education. However, the problem is that there are many teachers who have difficulty in choosing and applying a variety of interesting and appropriate learning media in accordance with each basic aspect of mathematics for early childhood which includes the concepts of numbers and geometry as basic mathematical abilities (Charlesworth & Lind, 2012), skills numeracy as an essential ability in mathematics (Nasution, N. 2019), and the development of mathematical logic as a determinant and supporter of other aspects in the development and introduction of mathematics in early childhood (Rahmalia, D., & Suryana, D. (2021, the introduction of mathematics for early childhood can be optimized by using a variety of interesting and fun learning media (Disney, L., & Li, L. 2022). Learning media is an important factor in early childhood mathematics learning, because it can be interesting attention is also able to provide good and easy learning (Azhima, I.…”

Introduction to mathematics in early childhood is a very important cognitive aspect to be given. One of the things that can be done is the development of innovative mathematics learning media for early childhood. This study aims to conduct a literature review related to the various uses of mathematics learning media in early childhood. Data collection was carried out by reviewing all related articles published in the 2019-2022 period. After conducting a thorough review, there were 30 reputable articles from accredited journals used in this study. The results showed that there were 27 effective learning media that could be used by teachers at the time of learning to improve early childhood math skills. The researchers found that the teachers changed the normal learning strategy to a limited face-to-face learning strategy. For example in schools, teachers as educators had their own short-time learning strategies, so the learning process can be conducted effectively.

The quality of interaction with children in collective play: Children's agency

There is a growing body of studies on increasing the quality of infant–toddler education and care. Yet little attention has been directed towards how to bring toddlers' agency and perspective to their personally meaningful learning in collective play. In this paper, we draw on cultural–historical concepts of agency, play and imagination to investigate toddlers' collective play with their teacher. We explain how the teacher can take the toddlers' perspectives and values and acknowledge toddlers' agency in play, to sustain and share toddlers' agentic imagination, thus supporting their play engagement and personally meaningful learning. Herein, we select and analyse one activity in which six toddlers (aged 2–3 years, mean 2.6 years) collectively play with teachers in Melbourne, Australia. We use visual narrative methodology to perform a deep analysis of the dynamic interactions in the collective play. The lens is centred on toddlers' agency and perspectives and the dynamic interactions between them and their teacher in collective play, through which their agentic imagination is sustained. In contrast to previous studies which focus on the teacher's role in play with infants–toddlers to monitor the surrounding dangers, arrange the play space and observe from a distance, the results of this study identify how toddlers' perspectives and agency in play can be valued and acted on by the teacher in collective play, to support toddlers' meaningful learning and improve the quality of play in early childhood education.

Beyond Physical Space: Using Digital Technology to Support a Collaborative Cultural-Historical Educational Experiment

Cultural-Historical Digital Methodology in Early Childhood Settings

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Through cooperation between researchers and teachers, the educational experiment creates optimal conditions for the development of the participating children, as well as the professional development of teachers. However, how researchers can virtually collaborate in conducting an educational experiment while maintaining their dual roles as participants and researchers is less understood. In order to address this problem, this chapter provides an effective methodological approach by showcasing how two researchers in two countries used digital technology as a relational tool to conduct educational experiments. A dialectical relationship between the research fairy who joined via Zoom and the imaginary situation is established, helping maintain the researcher’s participating role. Additionally, digital technology helped two researchers develop dialectical relationships through mutual conversation, which enhanced theoretical problem-solving through the knowing and re-knowing process in the educational experiment. This multi-layered dialectical relationship was synthesised as a unity and created a new way of collaboration between researchers and participants in the cultural-historical educational experiment.
