The EARLI SIG 5 biennial meeting 2012 on Researching Development, Learning, and Well-Being in Early Childhood will take place in Utrecht, The Netherlands, from 27th to 29th of August 2012. The meeting will bring together researchers from around the globe who are involved in the study of young children’s learning and development in the contexts of the family, peer group, day care centre, preschool, and primary school. SIG 5 encourages strong empirical research and international research collaboration. The biennial meeting will include symposia, paper sessions, and poster sessions (see attached document and the website for further details). In addition, there will be interactive workshops on observation methods for classroom quality, classroom discourse analysis, statistical modeling of development, and new approaches to quasi-experimental evaluation of intervention and program effects. Key note addresses will be delivered by professor Paul Harris (Harvard University, USA) and professor Adele Diamond (University of British Columbia, Canada). Part of the SIG 5 meeting is organized jointly with SIG 15 Special Educational Needs, of which the biennial meeting will also take place in Utrecht, on the 29th and 30th of August 2012. There will be special rates for participants who wish to participate in both meetings (see the details of the registration for the conference on the website).
