This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the European Early Childhood Education Research Journal and determine the journal’s scientific development, intellectual development and scientific focus. For this purpose, by including all publications since the journal started to be indexed on Web of Science (2007-2018) in the scope of the analysis, bibliometric analyses were carried out on 494 scientific articles published on the database of WoS. The studies were examined with the Citespace II software based on country collaborations, co-citation analysis and co-word analysis, and citation bursts were observed for countries and works that had a critical significance in the journal in terms of citation numbers. According to the findings, it was understood that there were mostly articles with one or two authors in the journal. England, Australia and Norway were the countries of the authors who made the highest contribution to the journal in the scientific sense. In the journal, it was observed that studies carried out by authors from the England, Greece and New Zealand received high numbers of citations on certain occasions. The concepts that were mentioned the most frequently in the studies were “preschool”, “play”, “education” and “children”.

Acquiring knowledge and evaluating it in the form of evaluation, assessment and testing is one of the essential tasks of an organized educational system. Evaluation is a process that is related to the work of the teacher and the pupil. The article presents evaluation as a broader concept of assessment and testing which evaluates the learning process as well as the pupil's achievements. We emphasize the importance of the teacher's music evaluation system, which is to guarantee an objective evaluation of the student's work in the context of musical heterogeneity. A total of 186 teachers participated in the study, and a quantitative empirical descriptive causal nonexperimental method was used. The results confirmed the assumption that relevant professional didactic competences of teachers, as well as their experience and education, provide a more objective evaluation of the pupil's process-developmental and learning-oriented achievements in musical arts.

A set of values are given to individuals through education. Schools deliberately convey various information to children to prepare for their social roles. With the knowledge they learned in school, individuals can question events in life, decide what is good and what is bad, associate their own values with social values and transfer existing ones to new generations. For this reason, many tasks fall on educational administrators in general, school administrators, and teachers in schools. This can only be achieved if the administrators attach importance to ethical values and standards as well as their professional knowledge and skills. Administrators should have ethical values such as being fair, behaving equally, being respectful, being impartial, not discriminating and acting in accordance with the legislation, and they should manage their institutions according to these determined ethical codes. In this study, firstly the concept of educational administration, secondly the concepts of ethics and ethical dilemmas in education administration are explained, and finally, the ethical codes that education administrators must comply within their organizations are examined depending on the literature.
