The Education Hub’s Dr Vicki Hargraves joins Nina Hood to talk about some of the key ideas emerging from recent early childhood research and how this research can inform teachers’ practice.
She also offers insights into how teachers can navigate and engage with the wealth of information available on The Education Hub, identify areas of focus, and apply research evidence to make changes and improvements in their own practice.
Dr Vicki Hargraves runs our early childhood education webinar series and also is responsible for the creation of many of our early childhood research reviews. Vicki is a teacher-educator and researcher living in Wellington. Her PhD drew on posthumanist philosophy to understand early childhood education as a deeply materialist practice, and her research and writing interests demonstrate her commitment to creative child- and community-centred approaches to education focused on social justice and participation, as well as attention to multiple ways of knowing and being in early childhood education.
