다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this research was to analyze the trends in research on the Reggio Emilia approach from 2000, few years after the introduction Malaguzzi’s Reggio Emilia approach to the American early childhood educational system, to 2019 and extract the topics explored. 32 scholarly articles published in 9 journals met the criteria for this study and were used to examine the research trends of Reggio Emilia related research in the American early childhood education settings. The findings indicated that the year 2007 witnessed the largest number of publications on the topic and that the journal with the most published articles on the topic was Early Childhood Education Journal. The 32 articles were found to have tackled the following 9 topics: Teacher, parents, child, environment, teaching practices, educational models, subject education, interactions, and skills. ‘Teaching practices’ was the most discussed topic and ‘parents’ was the least. Documentation and professional development were found to be the most discussed and creativity and memory the least. Implications for future research on the topic were discussed.
