This book is about values education in early years settings and
discusses theory and concepts, as well as methodological and empirical
perspectives. It explores issues such as the kinds of values that are
communicated between educators and children and the kind of future
citizens we foster in early childhood settings. It illustrates by way
of cases involving many participants, including children, educators,
and researchers, who have their roots in diverse contexts, and reside
in different parts of the world, including Australia, Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway, Slovenia, and Sweden. The book carefully
considers the contextualized character of the cases presented, yet
argues that the questions, theories, and methodologies emphasized do
inform the international debate in manifold ways. Communication of
values in a broad and diverse sense is central in any pedagogy,
especially for the youngest children in the educational system. Still,
values education has been neglected as aresearch field, in education
in general and particularly in the early years. This book addresses
this lack of knowledge by scrutinizing various questions about values
education in ECEC settings.
