“…The ECERS framework is of the most frequently used quality assessment frameworks in Europe and elsewhere, and several research groups have established revised, translated versions of the original ECERS, such as the ECERS-R in Arabic (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale -Revised, Hadeed, 2013) and the ECERS-E (The Four Curricular Subscales Extension to the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (Sylva, Siraj-Blatchford, & Taggart, 2010). In the Finnish educational context, in most cases quality has been conceptualised using the quality evaluation model (Hujala-Huttunen, 1995;Hujala et al, 1999;Hujala, Fonsén, et al, 2012), where quality is reviewed from the point of view of different actors and factors in the context of early childhood education. Also, in the Finnish context, Tauriainen (2000) has evaluated quality through a participatory paradigm, where the perceptions, descriptions and interpretations reported by three primary stakeholders-staff, parents, and children-regarding quality in one particular day care group, were considered.…”
