Continuing Education of Early Childhood Education Teachers: what debate should it be?

Abstract

In the search for a better quality of youngsters and children’s learning, over the last years different countries have been developing multiple initiatives, such as: to design or reformulate curriculums, to provide schools with better infrastructure and didactic resources, to evaluate the performance of teachers, to improve or to universalize the assessment systems of the qualities of education, to offer continuing education and specialization for teachers. In relation to the continuing education, this article tries to answer to the following question: Is the lack of or poor specialization in an age group or in a specific area of knowledge by early childhood education teachers the real problem, or is the problem related to an aspect of education that has been forgotten or less worked on: the education?
