Sažetak
The aim of the paper is to present preliminary results of the project “Models of Response to Educational Needs of Children at Risk of Social Exclusion in ECEC Institutions”, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation. Numerous research confirms that difficulties during early childhood are precursors to adjustment issues at a later age (Weitzman et al., 2014 ; Ramchandani et al., 2017), that many ECEC institutions still aren’t managing to respond appropriately to educational needs of children from vulnerable social groups (Lazzari & Vandenbroeck, 2013) and positive effects of well-timed recognition of difficulties (Conley et al., 2014). The research is based on different theoretical perspectives as ecological systems theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979 ; 1994), constructivist theory of learning (Vygotsky, 1978), theory of change (Stein and Valters, 2012). The methodology arises from explanations of educational processes and risks of social exclusion as complex and heterogeneous processes. Quantitative data were collected by the Questionnaire for assessments of etiological and phenomenological aspects of risks of social exclusion of children and The quality of educational practice regarding children at risk of social exclusion questionnaire on a sample of parents and ECEC teachers (N=360). Participants signed a written informed consent form, with respect to GDPR and respecting the principles of conscientiousness, transparency, equality and mutual respect. Results confirm strong connection between the quality of educational practice and different aspects of children’s social exclusion. Research results contribute to the identification of obstacles and circumstances, which limit or support the availability of quality ECEC for children at risk of social exclusion.
