The Domain of the Cubby Houses: Gender Inclusive Play in the Bush Kinder
For over a decade, growing numbers of ‘bush kinders’ have provided an important element of the Australian early childhood education experience. Influenced by the European forest school movement, bush kinders connect to elements of curriculum frameworks and have been adapted to suit the Australian context. This research project adopted an ethnographic approach and across time, allowed us to observe the dynamics of children’s nature play. We notice…
Facilitated Play in Nature Playgroups: An Opportunity for Early Childhood Science Education
Advocates for playful nature-based learning espouse the benefits of children’s self-directed play; however, past research has questioned whether this form of activity is beneficial to children of all ages, particularly the very young. In Australia, there are rapidly growing numbers of nature playgroups and bush kindergartens in which young children’s self-directed play-based learning is promoted. Bush kinders, as they are known in Australia, are …
A framework of subject-specific expertise for out-of-field teachers: Translated for Science and English
While teaching is a learning profession, learning to teach out-of-field (OOF) places subject-specific demands on teacher knowledge, practice and identity. Using Shulman's ‘signature pedagogies,’ we examine what OOF teachers need to know (thinking), do (performing), and be (identity). Through collaborative research, nine teacher educators from various disciplines identified pertinent themes leading to a framework of subject-specific expertise. The…
Listening to children in nature: Emergent Curriculum in Science Teaching and Learning in Bush Kinders
Outdoor early childhood education contexts such as nature kindergartens have been established for well over 50 years in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Despite their popularity in these settings, similar approaches in countries such as Canada, China, New Zealand and Australia have taken time to become established. One example of where this approach to nature kindergartens in early childhood education has recently taken a foothold is the Austr…
Bush Kinders: Building Young Children’s Relationships with the Environment
Early childhood is an important time for building children’s affinity with nature and the environment. Early childhood professionals play a crucial role in developing young children’s understanding of the natural world. Over the past 50 years, there has been a movement in early childhood education and care contexts to provide young children with the opportunity to learn in natural surroundings such as forest schools and nature kindergartens. This…
Building a Better Wall: Assessing Children’s Design Technology Learning in Nature-Based Early Childhood Education
The teaching and learning of design technology that occurs in nature-based early childhood education and care (ECEC) contexts such as nature kindergartens remains under-theorised. There is a growing body of scholarship that describes how teaching and learning occurs in these contexts as well as highlighting the benefits for young children learning in the natural environment. Recently, in the perspective of the Australian ECEC sector, how students…
Science in Early Childhood
Science exploration plays a vital role in children's lives as they make sense of the world around them. Now in its fifth edition, Science in Early Childhood complements the recently updated Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Australian Curriculum: Science. It offers a comprehensive introduction to the essential elements of science learning and teaching for pre-service teachers and early childhood professionals. This edition has been re…

Defining Teaching Out-of-Field: An Imperative for Research, Policy and Practice
Online professional learning for rural teachers of mathematics and science
Professional learning is crucial for the ongoing development of teachers and the improvement of student outcomes. Professional learning in mathematics and science education has the potential to address concerns about shortages in these areas and their impact on economic growth. However, attendance at face-to-face professional learning is problematic for many teachers located in rural areas. This study explores the utilisation of online profession…
