Abstract

This presentation explores discourses on children’s right of self-determination in Early Childhood Education. The positioning of children as agents in their own (and adults') learning will be explored. The intellectual and ethical foundations of the discourses on children’s right of self-determination will present;
1. A critical examination of the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989)
2. The positioning of children as agents to explore dominant shifts since 1990’s
3. Early Childhood Education ‘today’ as a pedagogical discourse based on children’s right to play an agentic role in shaping their educational experience
4. Exploring how children’s choices and constructed knowledges are expressed and understood, or not.
