Research Around the World

    The European Early Childhood Education Research Association (EECERA) advocates and publishes multi-disciplinary research on early childhood and its relevance to policy and practice.  This organization seeks to preserve and expand the great beliefs of European early childhood, including the theories of Pestalozzi, Owen, Froebel, Steiner, Vygotsky, Piaget, Malaguzzi, and others while encouraging the research of new paradigms, methodologies, concepts and applications in the continuously changing field of early childhood.
  
   I found this website very informative.  There is a section called special interest groups.  This includes topics such as birth to three, equity and respecting diversity, leadership and integration, learning and participation, outdoor play and learning, professionalism in early childhood education and care, rethinking play, transitions, young children's perspectives, and working with parents and families.  This organization also has a conference every year in a different European country and they publish their highly acclaimed journal four times a year.

Please take a look at this website (http://www.eecera.org) is you have a chance.
