          Abstract

          This research explores the various perspectives on preschool education and care, including historical, philosophical and methodological perspectives. The study provides an overview of different models of preschool education, such as play-based, academic, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf, and examines the role of curriculum and assessment in supporting children’s learning and development. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of teachers and caregivers in creating a safe and supportive learning environment for young children and the significance of family involvement in preschool education and care. The research also discusses the challenges and opportunities in providing quality preschool education and care, including funding and access issues. Finally, the study explores emerging trends and analyses in the field, including the use of technology in the classroom and the role of preschool in closing the achievement gap. Through a qualitative research approach, literature was reviewed, categorised, and analysed to understand the diverse perspectives better on preschool education and care and their impact on young children’s development and future success.

          The Challenges of Achieving Equity Within Public School Gifted and Talented Programs

          K–12 gifted and talented programs have struggled with racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, native language, and disability inequity since their inception. This inequity has been well documented in public schools since at least the 1970s and has been stubbornly persistent despite receiving substantial attention at conferences, in scholarly journals, and in K–12 schools. The purpose of this article is to outline why such inequity exists and why common efforts to combat it have been unsuccessful. In the end, poorly designed identification systems combined with larger issues of societal inequality and systemic, institutionalized racism are the most likely culprits. I end the article with a hierarchy of actions that could be taken—from low-hanging fruit to major societal changes—in order to combat inequity in gifted education and move the field forward.

            A Scientometrics Review on City Logistics Literature: Research Trends, Advanced Theory and Practice

            The contradiction between the contribution of city logistics (CL) to sustainable urban development and its negative externalities is increasingly prominent. Policy supervision measures and the green logistics initiative are also in conflict with the management goal of logistics enterprises. Innovative solutions for CL have attracted increasing research attention worldwide. However, the description of the global research network in the field of CL, research trends, and the discussion of advanced theories and practices have not been systematically reviewed so far. Especially in the past three years, there has been an explosive growth of relevant literature. In this paper, the method of combining scientometric analysis and thematic discussion was adopted to systematically review 513 important works in the literature from 1993 to 2018, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of the status in quo, trends and gaps of CL research, and to further analyze prominent problems. The study has made statistical analyses of the publication year profile, journal allocation and research methods of the included literature, and constructed four kinds of visualized bibliographic information timeline maps for the authorship network, international collaboration network, keywords co-occurrence network and research topic clustering. Then, the three themes summarized by clustering are discussed, mainly focusing on CL strategies and policy, green supply chain management, planning methods, and advanced concepts and practices. Finally, the research gaps framework and agenda were reported. This study contributes to summarizing the research and development of city logistics on the whole, and can also serve as an explorative manual to support sustainable urban freight activities and innovative research.
