EECERA Ethical Code for Early Childhood Researchers


The EECERA ethical code is intended as a guiding framework for all those involved in early childhood research and the publication and dissemination of its results. The ethical principles and guidelines have been developed by a working group of EECERA Trustees through a collaborative process with, amongst others, the involvement of the Coordinating Editor of the International Journal of Early Years Education.

EECERA Ethical Principles These principles are set out with the intention of encouraging Early Childhood researchers to work in the spirit of aspiring to achieve these high ethical expectations within all aspects of their work.

Example:
  • The child, family, community and Society emphasis on child development
  • Justice and equality
  • Social contribution  and much more

I was amazed of the research practice guidelines such as responsibility towards participants voluntary and informed consent. Research must be voluntary, informed consent of honesty information that the individual can agree or disagree.

Volunteer participation consists of the right to participate in one of the most basic information of all research opportunity. Allowing the individual to agree or disagree on a certain topic, issue or trend.

Enclosing the code of ethic in early childhood serves its purpose for young children value and creates the next generation of high standard hopes and practices in the workplace and in the school environment.

Early Childhood Australia: This is the Australian equivalent to the U.S. based NAEYC. You can access several links to early childhood research from the menu on the left side of the homepage.

It is very informative information to know about early childhood education in other countries have some of the same interest as the United States for young children. Thanks for sharing your information.
