Research invitation for ECE teachers

Kia ora,

Our names are Hazel Woodhouse (University of Waikato) and Fiona Westbrook (Auckland University of Technology), and we are both based in our respective Schools of Education.

We are inviting early childhood teachers and kaiako to take part in a short research survey exploring how ECE teachers use social networks and online platforms in their professional lives.

The study looks at which platforms are used, how these spaces support connection and professional learning, and whether there have been recent shifts away from platforms such as Facebook and X (Twitter).

Consent is provided through the survey link. The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, includes mostly tick-box questions, and participation is voluntary and anonymised.

We would love to hear from you.

Eczema

Eczema is quite common among young children.  Some children grow out of it but this knowledge doesn’t help children, parents and teachers who are daily coping with it. There are times when it will flare up, and when infection happens, and there may be no apparent reason for this.  Learn to manage rather than letting it manage you.

Children’s Toilets and Bathroom

Toilets are a basic thing to most of us, a place where we go to undertake an everyday task, a place that should be pleasant but possibly do not give too much thought to.

However, one thing everyone generally does like when using the toilet is privacy.

In early childhood settings, balancing privacy with the need to be able to help young children with toileting and the concept of supervision can be difficult.

Research
It could be assumed that pre-schoolers do not really mind what the layout of the toilets is, what they look like, and whether their toilets have doors or not. But research suggests children do mind.
