Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to achieve a comprehensive understanding of ECEC online education’s current status and the challenges it is facing, to spark discussions on the possibilities and formality of general trends in ECEC online education, and explore other possibilities for its development, includes whether it can replace traditional face-to-face early childhood education, and what group should be the suitable targeted group for effective ECEC online education.
Through the use of the triangulation of literature review, interviews, and questionnaires, the findings reveal that at least at the current stage or even in the short-term future, it is difficult to see the possibility of fully replacing traditional education with online early childhood education due to its limitations. Although online early childhood education also has many advantages, such as breaking the limitations of time and geographical location, expanding horizons, etc., some unavoidable practical problems are caused by children's nature, finance, policies, and other reasons. These all hinder its full popularity.
In the discussion of findings, we also presented some of our proposed solutions for early childhood online education. For example, develop its value as a supplement to traditional early childhood education, change the way people think about the educational target group, and so on.
