This approach, which is based on careful listening to children and observation of their interests and concerns, centres around recording and commentating on children's learning through photos, wall displays, videos and a variety of different media.

Beyond Quality in Early Childhood Education & Care order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 95.00 each
Paperback
Author: Gunilla Dahlberg, Peter Moss & Alan Pence
In Stock: 0
Since the first edition was published in 1999, Beyond Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care has established itself as one of the most important books in the early childhood field to have appeared in the last 10 years. Working with a range of critical perspectives and theories and an analysis of the world we live in today, and using examples from Canada, Sweden and Reggio Emilia, the book challenges many of the basic assumptions and assertions of mainstream early childhood policy and practice, showing that there are other possibilities-and therefore choices to be made. In particular the book challenges a strong tendency in the early childhood field, indeed throughout public services, to reduce philosophical issues of value and meaning to purely technical and managerial issues: the process whereby judgements of value become statements of fact.
This is a revised edition.

Paperback
Author: Anita M Hughes

"The Treasure Basket and Heuristic Play" promote extraordinary capacities of concentration, intellectual brilliance and manipulative mastery for babies and young children. The approach appears deceptively simple: offering natural and house-hold objects to babies and toddlers can transform their learning. It is based on much more complicated research into how babies learn, the principles of learning, research evidence, and the author's own personal experience of working with the under 3s. The book provides: a new approach to understanding and providing for the play and learning for the under 3s; accessible explanations about what babies do and how this links with later conceptual thinking; and ery practical ideas and activities for use in the nursery or at home. This handy little book will be indispensable for anyone working with the under 3s.
