What Is The EYLF Based On?

Hi
the question is What is the Framework based on? (ELYF)

What is the Framework based on? so far I have
:- the framework is based on research conducted to investigate aspects of the Early Childhood Education and care that are the most effective.

Am I on the right track? If so do you have any other information? OR am I totally mis-understanding the question?
thanks for your time
nicole

Hi Nicole,

The EYLF Framework states (page 3):

It is based on the best available evidence and what is socially and culturally important. As such, some ideas will be consistent with some of your practices and knowledge, and some will be challenging, new and very particular to Australia. This provides excellent opportunities for all educators to build on their current knowledge and experience, so that their curriculum decision making (both intuitive and reflective judgements) are consistent with current thinking and expectations.

Hope this helps,
