Therefore, this review aims at untangling the research on domain-specific content knowledge for early childhood educators by systematically reviewing the conceptual and operational definition of and results on early childhood educators' content knowledge in different domains. Using the scientific databases ERIC, PsycInfo and Web of Sciences, we identified 36 studies on early childhood educators' domain-specific content knowledge. By comparing these studies, we found that conceptualizations of early childhood educators' content knowledge move on a continuum between a scientific related perspective and a practice related perspective. The scientific related perspective defines content knowledge as the knowledge of key concepts, facts and rules of the domain integrating knowledge taught in primary, secondary or upper secondary school. The practice related perspective includes knowledge of key concepts, facts and rules of the domain limited to the knowledge explicitly relevant for teaching in early childhood education as well as selected domain-specific knowledge of children and teaching. Our review shows that the results and implications drawn by the study authors depend on how these authors conceptualize early childhood educators' content knowledge on this continuum. Further research, therefore, needs to consider carefully how early childhood educators' content knowledge is conceptualized. The paper further discusses gaps in this research field, such as validating methods for measuring early childhood educators' content knowledge or implementing more rigorous experimental designs to examine effects of early childhood educators' content knowledge.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Review of Education","doi":"10.1002/rev3.3255","date_updated":"2023-06-20T19:04:34Z","author":[{"id":"72183","full_name":"Bruns, Julia","last_name":"Bruns","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6604-5864","first_name":"Julia"},{"first_name":"Hedwig","last_name":"Gasteiger","full_name":"Gasteiger, Hedwig"},{"full_name":"Strahl, Carolin","last_name":"Strahl","first_name":"Carolin"}],"volume":9,"citation":{"apa":"Bruns, J., Gasteiger, H., &#38; Strahl, C.

For early education, increasingly, the setting of a kindergarten is targeted. However, when cHRI and research are brought into a kindergarten, a range of ethical and related procedural aspects have to be considered and dealt with.While ethical models elaborated within other human–robot interaction settings, e.g., assisted living contexts, can provide some important indicators for relevant issues, we argue that it is important to start developing a systematic approach to identify and tackle those ethical issues which rise with cHRI in kindergarten settings on a more global level and address the impact of the technology from a macroperspective beyond the effects on the individual. Based on our experience in conducting studies with children in general and pedagogical considerations on the role of the institution of kindergarten in specific, in this paper,we enfold some relevant aspects that have barely been addressed in an explicit way in current cHRI research. Four areas are analyzed and key ethical issues are identified in each area: (1) the institutional setting of a kindergarten, (2) children as a vulnerable group, (3) the caregivers’ role, and (4) pedagogical concepts. With our considerations, we aim at (i) broadening\r\nthe methodology of the current studies within the area of cHRI, (ii) revalidate it based on our comprehensive empirical\r\nexperience with research in kindergarten settings, both laboratory and real-world contexts, and (iii) provide a framework for the development of a more systematic approach to address the ethical issues in cHRI research within kindergarten settings."}],"publication":"International Journal of Social Robotics"},{"_id":"36481","department":[{"_id":"611"},{"_id":"97"}],"user_id":"49063","keyword":["Beliefs","Competency Based Teacher Education","Control Groups","Early Childhood Education","Faculty Development","Foreign Countries","Inservice Teacher Education","Intervention","Mathematical Aptitude","Mathematics Skills","Pedagogical Content Knowledge","Preschool Teachers","Pretests Posttests","Professional Continuing Education","Statistical Analysis","Teacher Competency Testing"],"extern":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Mathematics Teacher Education and Development (MTED)","type":"journal_article","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Recent studies highlight early childhood teachers’ mathematics-related competence. Developing this competence should be a main aspect of early childhood teachers’ education. This is, however, not the case in all countries. Consequently, high-quality professional development courses are needed. Based on research results, we developed a competence-oriented continuous professional development course (\"EmMa\") and examined the effects of \"EmMa\" by asking: How does \"EmMa\" affect the development of early childhood teachers’ i) mathematical content knowledge, ii) mathematical pedagogical content knowledge and iii) beliefs towards mathematics in general? To answer these questions, we conducted a pre-test/post-test study including a control group with 99 in-service early childhood teachers. Results show that the course affected teachers’ mathematical pedagogical content knowledge and static orientation towards mathematics positively. From this we conclude that scaling-up \"EmMa\" might be a suitable approach to bridge the gap between pre-service education with nearly no mathematics and the challenges of early mathematics education."}],"status":"public","date_updated":"2023-06-20T19:01:36Z","volume":19,"author":[{"first_name":"Julia","full_name":"Bruns, Julia","id":"72183","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6604-5864","last_name":"Bruns"},{"first_name":"Lars","last_name":"Eichen","full_name":"Eichen, Lars"},{"last_name":"Gasteiger","full_name":"Gasteiger, Hedwig","first_name":"Hedwig"}],"date_created":"2023-01-12T15:28:13Z","title":"Mathematics-related Competence of Early Childhood Teachers Visiting a Continuous Professional Development Course: An Intervention Study","quality_controlled":"1","publication_status":"published","issue":"3","year":"2017","page":"76–93","intvolume":"        19","citation":{"mla":"Bruns, Julia, et al. “Mathematics-Related Competence of Early Childhood Teachers Visiting a Continuous Professional Development Course: An Intervention Study.” <i>Mathematics Teacher Education and Development (MTED)</i>, vol. 19, no. 3, 2017, pp. 76–93.","bibtex":"@article{Bruns_Eichen_Gasteiger_2017, title={Mathematics-related Competence of Early Childhood Teachers Visiting a Continuous Professional Development Course: An Intervention Study}, volume={19}, number={3}, journal={Mathematics Teacher Education and Development (MTED)}, author={Bruns, Julia and Eichen, Lars and Gasteiger, Hedwig}, year={2017}, pages={76–93} }","short":"J.
