Asking the Big Questions in Early Years Education Research:
Questions Suggested by Attendees at the AERO/EYEON Early Years Conference On May 1, 2015, the Association of Educational Researchers on Ontario (AERO) and the Early Years Education Ontario Network (EYEON) held a conference on “The Early Years: Laying the Foundations for Life.” In a presentation on “Asking the Big Questions in Early Years Education Research,” Nina Bascia, Ruth Childs, Susan Elgie and Jayme Herman asked the almost 200 educators, researchers, and administrators in attendance to discuss and write down on worksheets their responses to the question, “What do we really want to know about the early years?”
The attendees’ responses suggest issues those working in and responsible for early years education in Ontario are most concerned about – and where they think more research is needed. Below are ten big questions, based on a thematic analysis of the many questions submitted by the conference attendees. Thanks to all those who suggested questions! Please click here for the pdf
