Figures & data
‘Innovative pedagogy’ refers to approaches that are oriented towards addressing localised barriers in access to early childhood education. These approaches are contributing to changes in attitudes, systems and/or structures.
Information collected from each programme incorporated:
Macro (policy) level
Programme documents/reports; reviews of policy priorities for the programme and/or national context; reviews of context-specific goals, values and purposes.
‘Meso’ (immediate environment) level
Audio/photograph/video footage of the innovation; programme documents/reports; artefacts (children’s work; plans and outlines; other artefacts according to the ‘innovation’ being documented); interviews with key programme staff, to gather information on processes, drivers and supportive factors in implementation.
‘Micro’ (personal) level
Self-reports gathered from key staff via Skype meetings: as above, key members of staff from each case were interviewed as part of the documentation process in order to gather data on processes, drivers and supportive factors in implementation.
