Revisiting Parental Involvement in Early Childhood Education Across Contexts

Recently, Nordic perspectives in early childhood education and care (ECEC) have garnered attention from researchers and various stakeholders. This monograph expands on the topic by emphasizing the Norwegian context as the authors present insights into both the historical and current practices of parent involvement in Norway.Another unique feature is the inclusion of research and developments from Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia, overlooked in many previous studies. Furthermore, it attempts to redefine parent involvement in ECEC based on recent trends and the evolving roles and concepts within contemporary discussions, such as family dynamics and the involvement of non-parental adults. It also highlights how parent involvement practices have evolved over time. Major related theories and models are discussed in relation to contemporary dynamics surrounding this phenomenon.
