Developing an implementation form based on the new Early Childhood Education Curriculum

The project-based thesis was done in co-operation with Touhula Tikasmäki. The objective of this thesis was to give the day care something that they could benefit from. The implementation form was made during the thesis process. The forms´purpose was to help the day care plan activities and assess them through this. The new early childhood education plan was put into use in August 2017. The learning objectives from this plan were used as base of the forms.

The knowledge base contains the learning objectives which are: rich world of languages, multiple ways of expression, me and our community, I explore and act in my environment and I grow, move and progress. The theory also consisted of child-oriented upbringing, parental partnership, working in small groups, importance of physical education and recommendations, effects of physical education towards children and four to five-year-olds' development.

The implementation of this thesis was done in two different stages. Feedback was given after each stage and the needed changes were made. The forms had the learning objectives from the new early childhood education plan. Theory of these were also given with helping questions to guide the users. The forms were used in three groups aged four to five years.

The day care was pleased with the outcome of the forms. The best use of the forms was for pedagogical weekly planning. The day care used more time to evaluate their activities with the help of forms. The form helped the day care to take the learning objectives into use. The feedback from the daycare was mostly positive. Some workers thought that the form was too time consuming but it was still useful for them to remember what has been done and what to do differently in the future. Overall the form was successful.
