Getting
to Know Your International Contacts—Part 2
One of my insights I have learned is that Zambian Early
Childhood Development Project created comprehensive instrument for helping
children physical, socio-emotional and cognitive development through their years
in school.
My second insight in May of 2010 they created the Zambian child assessment
test that measure child development with the new and the old develop items
which to provide a broad assessment of preschool children in Zambian context.
For my third and final insight I find out that a
Zambian child have not every seen toys or household items, for example like
scissors that are most likely use in tests out
in the West.
My issue of equity and excellence from international
sources from the Zambian Early Childhood Development Project stated that Zambia
language and vocabulary have 70 different languages are spoken with make
learning vocabulary difficult. Zambian Early Childhood Development Project
hopes that they can collect enough data information that will help improve
child development in the context but also identify key interventions that can rapidly
change a developing world.

I like how you mention the Zambian Early Childhood Development project uses instruments for helping children with physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. There are many benefits to children using instruments and getting to experience with music. It's sad to hear that not a lot of the Zambian children have seen specific toys/items like scissors, etc. Do you think this is because of the big lack in finances? Do you think the Zambian children struggle with certain things because there are so many languages offered where they live? Thanks for sharing this information!
It is unbelievable to think that there are children out there who have never seen many of the items we take for granted every day. I see similar things at the school I teach at... on a much smaller scale. I have students who have never been to the beach, touched sand, or touched a seashell. It is amazing the things some of us take for granted that others have never experienced.
