Aims & Scope

The NZIRECE Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research results, critiques, methodological papers and theoretical articles relating to children’s education, wellbeing and care in the early years (from conception and up to eight years of age).

Research relating to teaching and learning, pedagogical approaches, early intervention, parenting, child health, child safety, child development, and teacher/parent education are particularly welcome.

Papers examining a research method, an aspect of methodology, or contributing to the development of theory are also invited.

The journal was first published in 1998, when it was known as the NZ Research in ECE journal.

The journal made history – it was the first academic journal to be published in NZ that was exclusively on early childhood education.

It helped paved the way for the development of an early childhood research culture in NZ.
