ABSTRACT: This study examines the factors influencing the acquisition of French as a second language among young learners in a Guinean multilingual context, focusing on specific preschool settings, the Community Education Center (CEC) and the Petite Académie kindergarten. Through a multidimensional analysis that incorporates communicative, linguistic, and sociolinguistic/pragmatic dimensions, as well as language choices in teaching, this article seeks to understand how the multilingual environment and pedagogical practices impact French learning. The central hypothesis suggests that linguistic acquisition is facilitated by teaching methods that promote active immersion, multilingual communication, and the integration of learners' cultural and social contexts. The findings confirm the importance of sociocultural interactions, linguistic diversity, and thoughtful pedagogical practices for the linguistic development of children. This research highlights the need for inclusive educational approaches that value multilingualism and prepare young learners to navigate an interconnected world, offering essential insights for educational policies and teaching strategies in Guinea and beyond. RÉSUMÉ : Cette étude examine les facteurs influençant l'acquisition du français comme langue seconde chez les jeunes apprenants dans un contexte multilingue guinéen, en se concentrant sur des établissements préscolaires spécifiques, le Centre d'Éducation Communautaire (CEC) et l'école maternelle la Petite Académie. À travers une analyse multidimensionnelle, intégrant les dimensions communicatives, linguistiques, et sociolinguistiques/pragmatiques, ainsi que les choix linguistiques dans l'enseignement, cet article cherche à comprendre comment l'environnement multilingue et les pratiques pédagogiques impactent l'apprentissage du français. L'hypothèse centrale suggère que l'acquisition linguistique est facilitée par des méthodes d'enseignement qui favorisent une immersion active, une communication multilingue, et l'intégration des contextes culturels et sociaux des apprenants. Les résultats confirment l'importance des interactions socioculturelles, de la diversité linguistique et des pratiques pédagogiques réfléchies pour le développement linguistique des enfants. Cette recherche met en évidence la nécessité d'approches éducatives inclusives qui valorisent le multilinguisme et préparent les jeunes apprenants à naviguer dans un monde interconnecté, offrant des perspectives essentielles pour les politiques éducatives et les stratégies d'enseignement en Guinée et au-delà.

This research sets out to respond to the fact that the initial and permanent professional training of Infant Education teachers is one of the least explored topics in the prolific field of teacher training. Our objective is to delve into the conceptions of these teachers about the initial and permanent pro fessional training they have received, and to explore how they assess the impact of these two types of training on their professional practice. To achieve this objective, we used a collective case-study methodology. The instrument was a semi-structured clinical interview that, through content analysis, made it possible to know and fully understand the particularities of each of the cases studied. In addition, we carried out another analysis to establish semantic networks between the established categories. This analysis allowed us to map out common points and dissensions between both categories. The results showed that teachers considered it was necessary to improve initial professional training because it was excessively theoretical and the need for permanent training to be conducted in the schools to facilitate conciliation and adapt it to each context. The Infant Education teachers who participated in our research were not very satisfied with the initial and permanent professional training they received because they considered it was not very practice-oriented.

Pedagogical ideas developed by Friedrich Fröbel (1782–1852) saw an unprecedented expansion and diffusion during the second half of the nineteenth century. The first Armenian kindergarten appeared in the beginning of the 1880s in the Caucasus at the initiative of middle-class Armenian women. This movement of Fröbelian pedagogy – the establishing of a small pedagogical society, opening of kindergartens and training courses for preschool teachers – contributed to the promotion of women's work encouraging Armenian women to (re)claim their place in the public life of their communities. The dissemination of Fröbel's pedagogical ideas in the Armenian communities of Russian and Ottoman empires, however, took a very specific direction. Fröbel's concept of the kindergarten and theory of play were not used to stimulate the intellectual development of children and prepare them for schooling, but rather to instruct and inculcate the Armenian language from a very early age through the games, songs, and rhymes. In the context of the nineteenth-century Armenian national awakening, the pedagogical activities of Armenian women were, therefore, viewed as the accomplishment of their natural and national role. Based on the analysis of the periodical press and memoirs, this article explores the reception of Armenian women's educational activities by the society through the lens of pre-school education.

Early learning and child care (ELCC) settings in Canada follow nutrition standards that outline food provisions, with many also encouraging responsive feeding practices that help to create a supportive environment for children. Caregivers who lack confidence in children's ability to regulate their own intake, or those who feel stressed about mealtime, may unknowingly engage in less responsive feeding practices. The CELEBRATE Feeding Approach is a flexible framework, driven by behaviour change theory, that builds on previous definitions and concepts of responsive feeding in ELCC environments. Through this approach, there is an intentional focus on supporting early childhood educators to implement feeding practices that are more responsive. The approach incorporates 13 target educator behaviours related to the three overlapping categories of CELEBRATE language, CELEBRATE Mealtime, and CELEBRATE Play. These practices recognize and support the development of a child's sense of autonomy, confidence, and self-regulation not only at mealtimes but also through play-based exploration and language that is used throughout the day around food and feeding. The goal is that children will be open to a wide variety of food, develop their self-regulation skills, and build the foundation for a positive relationship with food throughout their lifetime.

Cet article présente une recherche quasi expérimentale qui avait pour but d’implanter et d’évaluer, auprès de 59 parents d’enfants de maternelle 5 ans du Québec, un programme de formation sur l’exploitation de la littérature jeunesse pour favoriser, entre autres, le développement langagier des enfants. Le programme, intitulé Les mille et un plaisirs de lire avec toi, visait à encourager les parents à fournir un soutien de qualité à leur enfant lors de la lecture interactive d’albums. Afin d’assurer ce soutien, des ateliers de formation leur ont été offerts et des trousses littéraires ont circulé dans les familles pendant six mois. Cet article décrit la recherche à laquelle ont pris part les parents et présente les résultats qui révèlent que le programme a contribué à les sensibiliser à l'importance de la lecture interactive et à celle de susciter des interactions de qualité lors de l'animation de ce type d'activité.

L’objectif de cet article vise à examiner si l’environnement éducatif scientifique influence la qualité des interactions entre les enseignantes et les enfants. Pour ce faire, 26 enseignantes à l’éducation préscolaire ont été observées dans deux environnements éducatifs différents : (1) alors que la classe est engagée dans une activité scientifique et (2) dans un contexte éducatif autre. Les observations ont porté plus spécifiquement sur la qualité des interactions, évaluées à l’aide du Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS Pre-k), selon trois domaines : le soutien émotionnel, l’organisation de la classe et le soutien à l’apprentissage. Les données indiquent que le niveau de qualité du soutien à l’apprentissage est plus élevé lorsque l’environnement éducatif est dit scientifique. Les résultats sont discutés selon les résultats de recherches antérieures.

Cet éditorial souhaite partager les préoccupations de la communauté des jeunes chercheurs en éducation en lien avec les domaines de la petite enfance et de l’éducation préscolaire.

La lecture interactive, particulièrement celle des albums documentaires, est une pratique reconnue pour soutenir le développement langagier (Chlapana, 2016) et cognitif (Mantzicopoulos et Patrick, 2011) des enfants du préscolaire. Or, lorsque les enseignantes de maternelle font la lecture aux enfants, elles exploitent rarement ce type d’ouvrages (Yopp et Yopp, 2012). Pourtant, plusieurs auteurs relèvent des pratiques exemplaires pour exploiter adéquatement ces œuvres de littérature jeunesse en contexte de lecture interactive (Chlapana, 2016; Boudreau et Beaudoin, 2015). Cet article propose une recension des écrits quant aux pratiques recommandées à cet égard. Les pratiques répertoriées ont été classées en cinq catégories: 1) la planification de la lecture, 2) les interventions avant la lecture, 3) les interventions pendant la lecture, 4) les interventions après la lecture et 5) les activités complémentaires. Préalablement, il expose les apports de la lecture interactive d’albums documentaires auprès d’enfants d’âge préscolaire relevés par la littérature scientifique.

Plusieurs chercheurs révèlent que développement du raisonnement spatial contribuent à la réussite éducative des enfants au primaire (Clements et Sarama, 2009 ; Pagani, Jalbert, & Girard, 2006 ; Sarama, 2002). Toutefois depuis les deux dernières années, de plus en plus de chercheurs s’intéressent et démontrent l’importance de s’attarder au concept du raisonnement spatial dès la petite-enfance (Clements et Sarama, 2009 ; Verdine, Golinkoff, Filipowick, Hirsh-Pasek, & Newcombe, 2014). Le contenu de cet article résulte d’une recension des écrits scientifiques sur les différents modèles du raisonnement spatial. Des définitions et les dimensions des différents modèles du raisonnement spatial sont proposées du point de vue des différents chercheurs. Les résultats descriptifs sont discutés au regard de trois différents modèles liés au raisonnement spatial.
