Requesting Insights: Nature-Based Early Learning & Teacher Education
Indiana University Doctoral Candidate Maria Zoretic-Goodwin is conducting a research study on how undergraduate early childhood education programs in the United States address nature-based early learning in terms of where they locate its content in the curriculum, and the philosophical nature of its pedagogy.
Eligible respondents must be undergraduate-level educators* who are 18 or older and teach content related to early childhood education. Early childhood education is defined as the period from birth through age eight (i.e., infancy through third grade). The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, and 10 randomly selected participants will win a $25 gift card!
*Teacher educators, regardless of their background in nature-based early learning or appointment type (i.e., adjunct or full-time), are welcome to participate. Teacher educators from early childhood education, elementary education, science education, or environmental education programs are eligible to participate, as long as they teach content that targets birth through age eight (i.e., infancy through third grade).
