Early Childhood Education and Care
Introduction
Early childhood education can be coined as a broader term that can be used to describe
any particular type of education program that can help in serving the children in their years of
preschool education prior to their age to enter kindergarten. The study has been based on the
personal reflection of the learner in order to determine the importance of character education
along with the importance that ECE might have in aspect of character education in a preschool.
Explain the impact of an ECE’s personal beliefs and values on children’s character
development and identification of the factors that contribute to ethical character formation
As per my views ECE can be said to be the foundation of the formation of personality of
human like teaching of how one can behave in a decent manner in daily life. I believe that the
formation of the personality of the child from the early days can have a significant impact on
their character in social life in society. Mostly in the third world and developing countries it has
been evident there are many violent crimes that can be associated with the juveniles (Yilmaz,
2016). Therefore, it can be said that development of character needs to be initiated with early age
of the children. It needs to focuses for the teachers and parents in order to educate the children
once they reach the age of 2 to 6 years.
There are several factors that can contribute to the ethical character formation of a child
and it can vary for every child. Therefore, it is very important to provide the child with proper
upbringing in order to raise them and develop a proper future and society for them (Turner et al.,
2018). As per my suggestion the most important factors that has major contribution for the
ethical character formation are social norms, religious beliefs, upbringing and laws. As per my
views it can also be said that the factors like upbringing as the adults and especially parents need
to provide their children with an environment of love and non-abusive household that can be
used for illustrating an adequate ethical behaviour. This can help the children to have a positive
character as they need favourable norms to grow and thrive (Britto et al.,2017).
