Abstract

This chapter presents an initial reflection on the role of teaching materials in the process of educational innovation in early childhood education. Its main aim was to shed light on good practices at this educational level and to create a pluralistic and flexible framework based on case studies. The chapter begins by addressing the theoretical approach to four issues, namely the importance of teaching materials in early childhood education, their roles, criteria for selection of good practice case studies, and the role of teaching materials in the processes of innovation. Regarding the main stages of the project and the instruments analyzed, the paper goes on to present selected examples of good practices in early childhood education that illustrate the role given to materials and to present some initial conclusions.
