Resumo: Nas últimas décadas a transição nutricional vem ocorrendo em países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento, com uma prevalência maior de indivíduos sobrepesos e obesos. Devido à situação agravante do estado nutricional da população infantil brasileira, às doenças acarretadas pela má alimentação e sedentarismo, além da construção do hábito alimentar ser realizado nessa fase de desenvolvimento e este adotado para a vida adulta do indivíduo, podese notar a necessidade de educar essas crianças, em relação à nutrição. A creche é o local considerado apropriado para o ensino dessa população e, segundo as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para Educação Infantil, a alimentação deveria estar inserida em todos os projetos político-pedagógicos, na área da Educação em Saúde, mas ainda existe um erro na concepção dos significados de cuidar e educar nessas instituições, principalmente entre a faixa etária de 0 a 3 anos. Contudo, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi identificar os conhecimentos e as práticas, relacionados à alimentação de crianças de 0 a 3 anos a fim de verificar a formação dos profissionais que trabalham com crianças dessa faixa etária, na área da Educação Nutricional. Para isso, o procedimento metodológico seguiu as orientações do estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa, que englobou a fase exploratória, a observação, a entrevista semiestruturada e a análise, visando a caracterização das participantes da pesquisa, do local onde foi realizado o estudo e das crianças da faixa etária estudada. Os saberes e práticas das agentes educacionais e professoras de Ensino Infantil do Centro de Educação e Recreação, em estudo, foram analisados por meio de questões abertas e fechadas e das observações dos tópicos relacionados à nutrição infantil, juntamente com os dados sobre a formação dessas profissionais...

The necessity of providing children nutritional education/knowledge has increased due to the aggravating nutrition situation of the Brazilian infantile population, diseases caused by bad eating habits and lack of physical exercises, yonder the acquirement of eating habits that will be lifetime followed. Day care centers are the appropriate places for teaching this population, and according to National Curricular Guide for Infantile, nourishment should be inserted in all political-pedagogic projects in the Health Education field, but these institutions still misunderstand the meaning of caring and educating, specially among children from 0 to 3 years old. Yet, the aim of this current work was to identify the knowledge and practices that people have regarding 0 to 3 year-old children in order to add information to professionals who work with this age group children in the Nutrition Education field. Thus, the methodological procedure followed the guidance of the studied case using a qualitative approaching that comprised the exploiting stage, the examination, the semi-structured interview and the analysis aiming the characterization of the interview participants, the place where the study was carried out and the age group of the children studied. The educational agents and teachers of infantile education from the Recreation and Education Center studied were analyzed through questions, and examinations of topics related to infantile nutrition along with data about the degree of these professionals. It can be concluded that both educational agents and Infantile Education teachers have a significant knowledge about infantile nutrition. However their biggest concern was to supply the children's nutritional necessities through a healthy meal...

Japan is facing a great demographic shift, where by 2050 more than 40% of it's inhabitants will be over the age of 65 years. The womens emencipation from the role of stay at home mothers has allowed them to have careers of their own, although a good thing it does not leave a lot of room for starting a family in Japan's hard working climate. This new cultural norm has collided with the the long tradition of family care and Japan is now facing a large cultural collision, where there is a great lack of working solutions for child and senior care. The project suggests a prototypical intergenerational day care center for elderly and children in Tokyos dense now-rise residential neighborhoods. This form of care started being built in America during the 90's and has prooven to provide some of the best care availible for elderly and children. / Japan möter i dagsläget ett stort demografiskt skifte, till år 2050 kommer mer än 40% av befolkningen att vara över 65 år gamla. Kvinnornas frigörelse från hemmet har tillåtit dem att påbörja egna arbetsliv och karriärer, vilket inte lämnar mycket rum för att starta egen familj i Japans hårda arbetsklimat. Denna nya kulturella norm har kolliderat med den traditionella familjevården och Japan står idag utan en bra lösning för barn- och äldrevård. Det föreslagna projektet är ett prototypiskt intergenerationellt dagvårdscenter för barn och seniorer i Tokyos täta lågbebyggda bostadsområden. Intergenerationell vård började byggas under 90-talet i USA och har visat sig ge bland den bästa vården tillgänglig för barn och äldre.

This evaluation of the Multnomah County Community Action Agency (MCCAA) Latch Key Child Care Program was undertaken at the request of the Multnomah County Planning and Evaluation Department. Latch Key is one of three day care programs classified as "developmental programs for youth" for which Multnomah County is the fiscal agent. The other two are Littles, a full-day pre-school day care program, and Head Start, an educational and developmental program for pre-school children. Littles and Latch Key comprise what is known as Programs for Children, a comprehensive child care program which serves children of low-income working parents who live in the East County area east of 82nd Avenue, plus the Arleta, Errol Heights and Lents Districts which lie within the Portland city limits. With the exception of Mt. Hood Community College, which operates a small day care program, Programs for Children provides the only publicly-supported child care services in the above area, which was designated as a "poverty" area by the Office of Economic Opportunity in 1970. This report will evaluate the Programs for Children administration and Latch Key centers only.

[pt] O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as percepções de familiares e profissionais sobre o uso do Facebook pelas equipes de Espaços de Desenvolvimento Infantil (EDI) do município do Rio de Janeiro. Este objetivo surge de uma questão antiga, mas ainda muito presente no trabalho com crianças de 0 a 5 anos e 11 meses, referente à comunicação entre famílias e profissionais da Educação Infantil. A prática de compartilhar registros pedagógicos nas páginas de redes sociais cresceu em um momento em que o acesso à internet se popularizou e se tornou, então, um meio rápido para famílias terem informações sobre as ações pedagógicas realizadas nas instituições de educação. Entende-se que essa prática exerce um papel no diálogo entre família e escola e que permite o conhecimento a parte do que é planejado e vivenciado na mesma. Dá-se foco à maneira como o Facebook é usado pela escola: seus objetivos, suas escolhas e o retorno que recebem e/ou esperam receber. Como objetivos específicos, buscou-se a) identificar que propósitos cercam a decisão de uso da rede social Facebook por professores regentes e equipes gestoras; b) compreender os critérios de organização adotados ao fazer uso do Facebook e como isso envolve profissionais, famílias e crianças; e c) conhecer os aspectos que se revelam importantes no cotidiano com a divulgação nas redes sociais. Como aporte teórico, foram adotados autores que abrangem as relações entre família e escola, o uso das novas tecnologias da comunicação nessa relação e discussões que fundamentam as práticas de Educação Infantil. A pesquisa foi realizada em três EDI do município do Rio de Janeiro, tendo como participantes a equipe gestora de cada unidade (duas diretoras e uma professora articuladora), oito professoras regentes e nove familiares (mães) de crianças matriculadas. A metodologia incluiu os seguintes instrumentos: (i) planilha de levantamento da utilização do Facebook; (ii) questionário sobre o uso de redes sociais; (iii) entrevista online com profissionais das escolas; (iv) entrevista online com familiares; e (v) amostras de postagens no Facebook. As entrevistas aconteceram entre os meses de junho e outubro de 2020. O tratamento dos dados se deu por meio de análise temática realizada com apoio do software ATLAS.ti. Construíram-se três eixos de discussão, a saber: os propósitos de uso do Facebook, o gerenciamento organizado e as reverberações percebidas. Os resultados apontaram que profissionais e familiares usam a rede social Facebook como apoio à interlocução dos EDI com as famílias e ao conhecimento da proposta pedagógica da Educação Infantil em suas especificidades. / [en] The aim of this study was to get to know the perceptions of family members and professionals about the use of Facebook by the staff from the Espaços de Desenvolvimento Infantil (Spaces of Child Development) in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This objective arose from an old issue, but still very present in the work with children ages between 0 and 5 years and 11 months, which refers to the communication between families and Early Childhood Education professionals. The practice of sharing pedagogical records on social network grew at a time when access to the internet became popular and also it provides a quick way for families to have access to the work that is documented by the institutions. It is understood that this practice plays a role in the dialogue between family and school and that it gives access to part of what is planned and experienced in it. Focus is given to the way that Facebook is used by the school professionals: their goals, their choices and the feedback they receive and / or expect to receive from parents. More specifically, we sought to a) identify the purposes surrounding the decision to use Facebook, by teachers, management, and other professionals involved; b) understand the organizational criteria they adopt when using Facebook and how it involves professionals, families and children; and c) know the aspects that prove to be important in daily life and that are worthy of being broadcast on social networks. As a theoretical contribution, studies were adopted that cover the relationship between family and school, the use of new communication technologies in this relationship and discussions that underlie the practices of Early Childhood Education. The research was carried out in three Child Development Spaces (EDI), with the management team of each unit (two directors and an articulating teacher), eleven leading teachers and nine family members of enrolled children. The study methodology included the following instruments: (i) a survey of the use of Facebook; (ii) a questionnaire on the use of social networks; (iii) an online interview with school professionals; (iv) an online interview with family members; (v) samples of postings on Facebook. The interviews took place between the months of June and October in 2020. The data were processed through thematic analysis carried out with the support of the ATLAS.ti software. Three axes of discussion were built, namely, the purposes of using Facebook, organized management and the perceived reverberations. The results showed that professionals and family members use Facebook as support for the dialogue between EDI and families, as well as for the knowledge construction of the pedagogical proposal of Early Childhood Education in its specificities.

The United States did not have a federal policy on child care until 1990 when portions of two bills (H.R.3 and S.7) were incorporated in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. The lack of a policy was not due to neglect; child care advocates made several attempts during the 1970s to pass legislation. In an effort to understand why child care succeeded in 1990, this thesis examines how child care got on the decision agenda, the "short list" of the government agenda. Using John Kingdon's framework (1984) I analyze the process by which child care legislation was able to make the successful transition from the committee forum to the floors of Congress for a vote, and thus becoming a part of the decision agenda. / Master of Arts

The study was carried out to investigate the implementation of the Malawian ECD policy in CBCCC in Namatubi Kanyenjere area. Both primary and secondary techniques were used to carry out the research. Literature review was carried out to ascertain the evolvement of ECD over the years and establish the basis of the current policy. Interviews were carried out with three respondent groups namely CBCCC committees, care givers and government officials. This was done to assess perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of the ECD policy among communities as well as the roles played by different stakeholders in the policy implementation. Over 90% of the CBCCC in Chitipa were initiated by communities and duly registered by the government. However there is little monitoring thereof by the government officials which dwindles the activities of the centres. Communities, stakeholders and government face various challenges that require concerted efforts to help improve the implementation of the ECD policy. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Text in Afrikaans / The child's becoming is influenced by the education situation as a whole. The mother-child relationship plays a crucial role to the child's becoming, hence the initial bonding between mother and child is considered all-important. All further becoming is based on the motherchild relationship. Another factor that influences becoming is the family situation, with specific reference to the father. Because the family functions in the context of a particular society, the shift of emphasis in the modem family and social factors cannot be discounted in the discription of becoming. Becoming takes place in conjunction with learning, development and maturation. These processes are differentiable but inseparable. The different domains of becoming and development, namely the affective, cognitive, normative, physical and social, form the overall context within which the child is investigated. An adequate educational environment leads tot the child's adequate becoming. At the centre of any adequate educational environment is the educator acting as mediator between child and learning content. Both the primary and the secondary educational situation should comply with the requisites for adequacy. An empirical investigation was undertaken in accordance with ideographic research methods. The status of overall becoming and development in children who had been subjected to different types of daycare was determined in relation to the education situation as a whole, which is why both the primary and the secondary educational situation were drawn into the investigation. This research has produced the finding that daycare does not necessarily harm the child's becoming. The overall educational situation must be considered at all times. Daycare has a recognisable influence on the child's becoming, but the mother-child relationship is the most decisive factor for the child's becoming. / Kinderlike wording word deur die opvoedingsituasie as totaliteit belnvloed. Die moederkindverhouding speel die allerbelangrikste rol by kinderlike wording. Daarom word die aanvanklike binding tussen moeder en kind baie hoog aangeskryf. Alie verdere wording word geskoei op die moeder-kindverhouding. Die gesinsituasie, met spesifieke verwysing na die vader, is verdere faktore wat wording belnvloed. Omdat die gesin binne 'n bepaalde samelewing funksioneer, kan die klemverskuiwing van die moderne gesin en die samelewingsfaktore nie buite rekening gelaat word by die beskrywing van wording nie. Wording vind sy neerslag in samewerking met leer, ontwikkeling en ryping. Hierdie begrippe is onderskeibaar, maar kan nooit geskei word nie. Die verskillende domeine van wording en ontwikkeling, naamlik die affektiewe, kognitiewe, normatiewe, fisieke en sosiale domeine, vorm die totaliteit waarbinne die kind beskou word. 'n Toereik:ende opvoedingsmilieu gee aanleiding tot toereikende wording by die kind. Midde 'n toereikende opvoedingsmilieu staan die opvoeder as bemiddelaar tussen die kind en die inhoud. Die primere sowel as die sekondere opvoedingsituasies behoort aan die vereistes van toereikendheid te voldoen. 'n Empiriese ondersoek is aan die hand van die ideografiese navosingsontwerp onderneem. Die wording en ontwikkeling van kinders vanuit verskillende tipes dagsorg is bepaal. Die wording en ontwikkeling van die kind in totaliteit word in aanmerking geneem. Wording word dan in verband gebring met die opvoedingsituasie in sy totaliteit. Daarom is die primere sowel as die sekondere situasies by die ondersoek betrek. Hierdie navorsing bevind dat kinderlike wording nie noodwendig negatief deur dagsorg beinvloed word nie. Die totale opvoedingsituasie van die kind moet telkens in berekening gebring word. Dagsorg oefen wel 'n invloed op kinderlike wording uit, maar die moederkindverhouding is die mees bepalende faktor by kinderlike wording. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
