A New Concept of Early Childhood in Indonesia
Finnish ECEC is based on an integrated approach to care, education and teaching, the so-called “educare” model. Critically, teachers must support the development of the children’s play with a systematic and goal-oriented approach by either guiding it from outside or participating in it.
In Finland, teachers use a guided learning approach taking into account children’s individual interests and abilities, guiding them during play through goals across subjects.
High-quality pedagogical activities strengthen children’s transversal competencies (such as Kipinä’s integrated six core curricular domains). Development of transversal competencies is affected by many factors: the teaching approaches used, the learning environments (such as Kipinä’s classrooms/ Imaginarium/ reading room/outside play structures/technology/resources/toys) and how children’s learning and well-being are supported.
