A Scoping Review of Relationship-based Training Programs for Early Childhood Educators.

Abstract

Aim and Background: An increasing rise in childcare attendance has resulted in children spending additional time with non-parental caregivers, such as Early Childhood Educators (ECE’s). Strong relationships between children and ECE’s are important as these relationships impact on children’s development. Relationship-based training programs offered by occupational therapists, are one way of supporting educators with building and maintaining positive relationships with children in their care. This scoping review aimed to provide a summary of the features and outcomes of relationship-based training with ECE’s. Methods: After a systematic search and following PRISMA guidelines, a total of 26 studies were included. Results: A wide range of relationship-based training programs were described, with multiple components and group-based training, as well as individual consultation/coaching reported. All included studies reported that relationship-based training programs resulted in positive outcomes for children and/or educators. This review provides a foundation for designing relationship-based training programs for ECE’s.

Aunque la intervención desarrollada en este artículo no consideró puntualmente la retroalimentación, durante las sesiones se asignó un espacio para que las docentes compartieran sus experiencias de aula en la semana, un aspecto que pudo haber brindado retroalimentación implícita al recibir los comentarios de los demás participantes.…”
