Leadership behaviours during crises
In this paper, we present research into how leaders in early childhood education and care (ECEC) in England conceptualise and respond to sudden and challenging circumstances at organisational and personal levels. A distinction is made in this paper between critical incidents, such as a fire in the kitchen, and crises whereby leaders need to respond to unexpected, long term and evolving events. Although the impact of Covid-19 pandemic was uppermos…
Ethical considerations and dilemmas for the researcher and for families in home-based research
When researching with or about families in home-based research, there are numerous unexpected ethical issues that can emerge, particularly in qualitative research. This paper is based on reflective accounts of four homed-based research projects, two in the UK and two Australia, which examined ethical dilemmas identified when engaged in home-based research with young children. Using a synergy of ecocultural theory and Foucauldian ideas of Heteroto…
Using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-interfaced robotic toys in early childhood settings
This study explores the use of interactive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-interfaced robotic toys within early childhood (EC) settings to develop children’s inquiry literacy. Arguments about the appropriate role of AI in EC education have received much attention when examining the potential of the integration of technology into children’s play and learning. Using Vygotsky’s mediation theory (1978) and employing a design-based research methodology, …
Make‐believe play with the Internet of Toys
This study examines whether the Internet of Toys (IoToys) (de)limits children's make‐believe play and whether the functionality and manipulatives offered by the IoToys serve as motivational pleasure (tactile, virtual and visual) for children to engage in make‐believe play. Combining Piagetian and Vygotskian ideas of play as a unity of cognition and social context, we consider IoToys as a motivational conduit for children's symbolic actions that l…
The integration of the internet of toys in early childhood education
This paper presents findings from an on-going international study of early childhood educators’ and children’s use of new digital technologies, such as the Internet of Toys (IoToys) and the pedagogic interactions which occur when these artefacts are integrated into classrooms. Based on qualitative methodology, data have been collected in four countries: Australia, Norway, Scotland and England. Data collection includes observations of interactions…
Reflecting on three creative approaches to informed consent with children under six
In an era when children’s rights are paramount, there are still few practical examples to guide us when seeking informed consent from children. This article therefore makes a significant contribution to the field by examining three practical approaches to negotiating informed consent with young children under 6 years old. We draw on researcher field notes, images and observations from four research projects that employed creative methods for seek…

Critical Hope or Principled Infidelity? How an Urban Secondary School in an Area of Sustained Poverty in England Continues to Improve
This is the examination of how a secondary school in England, the Robert Clack High School, not only made the transition from failure to success “against the odds”, but sustained and enhanced that status despite changes in local demographics resulting in the school serving a significantly different ethnic community than was evident at the start of their improvement journey. The school is situated in an area of London that has consistently feature…
