The first major consequence of learning about the international early childhood field was that I was unable to touch basis with a professional. Even though I gained information from the podcast, it’s nothing like getting personal feedback from someone. Secondly what works in other countries may not work here. I realized we are more competitive than other countries. Thirdly, children are the same in a sense but depending where they are from the may respond differently due to different methods. It was hard to understand how children learn best or their style of learning through the podcast. My goal is to continue researching other countries. It’s important to understand issues that are happening locally but also worldwide. It did help reading other colleges and seeing their point of views; I plan to keep in touch with my classmates.
Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI too will continue to pursue other international organizations to gain an understanding of issues. In some ways the many issues faced maybe the same but our resolutions may be different. I agree with your statement that children are the same in some ways but there culture determines their response.
