von Suchodoletz, Antje; Larsen, Ross; Uka, Fitim; Nadyukova, Iryna; Pakarinen, Eija; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
The existing literature on early childhood education (ECE) quality is predominantly from the US or other developed countries. In low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), systematic research on ECE quality, however, is very limited. In the present study, we explore variation in structural and process indicators of ECE quality in two Eastern…

Asami-Johansson, Yukiko; Attorps, Iiris; Winsløw, Carl – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The aim of this paper is to investigate and compare lessons given in primary school teacher education in Japan, Finland and Sweden. We analyse one lesson from each country and compare them using a common framework. Chevallard's anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD) is used to frame this analysis and in particular to model teacher educators'…

Brias-Guinart, Aina; Aivelo, Tuomas; Högmander, Markus; Heriniaina, Rio; Cabeza, Mar – Journal of Environmental Education, 2023
Calls for a common environmental education (EE) vision imply imposing certain values as universal. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge on the extent to which EE reflects universalities versus diverse sociocultural realities. We explored practitioners' perspectives on the purpose of EE by interviewing practitioners in Finland and Madagascar…
