Future Trends in ECE

In the world of technological advances, most fields including education are experiencing an ever-changing way of hand various tasks. For effective delivery of knowledge to learners in their childhood, there are a number of trends educators should watch for in the future trajectory of Early Childhood Education. They include digital delivery where educators, learners, and all personnel in this filed will have access to up-to-date information regarding ways of understanding content as well as its creation (Barseghian, 2015). Coursework and guidelines which suit learners in their early stage of life will be a click away. The future is online thanks to researchers and educators who seek to advance the learning process of students. Several sites are customized in such a way to display content which only suits children of tender age.

The second trend in early childhood education is focused on making the curriculum be based on the interest of learners and therein expand their career (Barseghian, 2015). Despite being a common practice in most, if not all parts of the US, learner-centered education will no longer be the same but will be improved by incorporation of technology. With technology and learner's passion, learning will become more effective than it has ever been in the past.

Lastly, Barseghian (2015) maintains that skills will continue to change the manner in which learners gather knowledge particularly in the era of technological advances. Unlike the past where students were confined to a classroom and being guided by someone who was believed to be in possession of what is needed to teach others, the future which is yet to unfold will be depended on learners ability to navigate through the internet. In essence what this shows is that change is a continuous process which requires everyone to embrace.
