- Title
Challenges, opportunities, and capacity building in early childhood teacher education research in Australia and New Zealand.

- Abstract
This paper draws on two recent reviews of early childhood teacher education (ECTE) research to reflect on challenges and opportunities facing ECTE researchers in Australia and New Zealand. The paper discusses what these analyses reveal about the social relations of early childhood education policy that frame the work of ECTE researchers, in the context of wider issues of research capacity building in teacher education, and proposes a number of opportunities for ECTE researchers arising from the rapid credentialisation of the early childhood field. The paper concludes by arguing for enhanced collaboration, including cross-institutional and cross-national projects, as a key strategy for capacity building in ECTE research in Australia and New Zealand.
