Why is it important?
We have been inspired by Bronfenbrenner's ecological views of human development and tried to deal with the issues of two contrastive ECEC traditions, i.e. early education and social pedagogy. Our findings held implications regarding how teachers’ individual beliefs influence their various methods of facilitating the early literacy development of young children in ECEC settings beyond differences in educational tradition concerning early literacy.
