Tuning in to young children’s peer-to-peer interactions when engaging with digital technologies: Developing a fit-for-purpose framework
Capturing the subtle and nuanced behaviours of very young children to honour their ‘voice’ in research is an ongoing methodological challenge. This paper details the evolution of a framework developed by the researchers in response to understanding the peer-to-peer relationshipss of infants and toddlers when engaging with digital technologies in an Australian Research Council-funded project. The framework and how it was applied is presented along…
Triggering the professional learning of early childhood educators through moments of disjuncture
Professional learning builds professional knowledge with the potential to challenge educators' beliefs and practices leading to professional growth and improved child outcomes. This paper focuses on an Australian Research Council funded study which supported Family Day Care (FDC) educators to implement digital technologies into their programs to promote infants' and toddlers' peer-to-peer relationships. It asks the question: How does professional…

Re-Imagining Outdoor Playspaces: An Unexpected Consequence of the Covid-19 Lockdown
This paper presents a series of reflective observations on the use of outdoor spaces in Melbourne, Australia, during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. With the closure of playgrounds and organized sports, the authors observed three themes emerging: changes in users and uses of parks and reserves; markers of children's activities in public areas; and, children's creation of huts, dens or "cubbies" as evidence of constructive and imaginative pla…
Quantitative estimates of glacial refugia for chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) since the Last Interglacial (120,000 BP)
Paleoclimate reconstructions have enhanced our understanding of how past climates have shaped present‐day biodiversity. We hypothesize that the geographic extent of Pleistocene forest refugia and suitable habitat fluctuated significantly in time during the late Quaternary for chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ). Using bioclimatic variables representing monthly temperature and precipitation estimates, past human population density data, and an extensi…
Wrestling with Tradition: Reconstructing Jewish Community through Negotiating Shared Purpose
This article analyzes how congregants in a lay-led Reconstructionist synagogue discursively contest and perform sharedness through active engagement, interpretation, and public disagreements about how to create and sustain Jewish community. I argue that such ‘wrestling with tradition’—that is, questioning, negotiating, and (re)creating traditions in the context of countercultural and eclectic Jewish community—is achieved through collaborative and…
From boats to bushes: Environmental elements supportive of children’s sociodramatic play outdoors
Sociodramatic play is a central activity of early childhood, one influenced by the nature of the environment where it occurs. Using the Smilansky Scale for the Evaluation of Dramatic and Socio Dramatic Play (Smilansky and Shefatya, 1990), this study compared the frequency and complexity of the sociodramatic play of two groups of fifteen 4–5 year old children in two preschool outdoor spaces differing in natural elements, resources, and spatial cha…
Adult Māori Patients’ Healthcare Experiences of the Emergency Department in a District Health Facility in New Zealand
Globally, there are significant inequalities and disparities in health service delivery to Indigenous populations, including Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This study explored the experiences of adult Māori patients in the emergency department (ED) of a district health facility in New Zealand. Qualitative research exploring the ED experiences of Māori patients is limited. Two semistructured interviews with 4 Māori participants were conducted, aud…
When Are Caregivers More Likely to Offer Sugary Drinks and Snacks to Infants? A Qualitative Thematic Synthesis
Many children consume more sugar than is recommended, and caregivers often find it difficult to change this habit once established. This thematic synthesis aims to identify the "critical situations" where caregivers may be more likely to offer infants sugary drinks and snacks. This thematic synthesis is reported in accordance with the statement for enhancing transparency in reporting the synthesis of qualitative research (ENTREQ). Our confidence …
The teacher doesn't know what it is, but she knows where we are: Young Children's Secret Places in Early Childhood Outdoor Environments
This paper presents a qualitative case study examining two early childhood outdoor play environments which illuminates the complex concept of children's secret places and how they potentially conflict with adult constructions of outdoor spaces. While educators may be able to design outdoor environments based on sound pedagogical decisions within regulatory guidelines, what resonates with children is often a different sort of place. A child's ‘sec…
