Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Schemas in the Early Years 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Arnold, Cath
Evolved through conversations with key early childhood education experts, Schemas in the Early Years focuses on the value of 'repeated patterns' of action or 'schemas' in young children's play. It stimulates readers to ask questions of themselves, to watch children closely, and to create a dialogue with parents and other educators as well._x000D__x000D_Contributors to this fascinating book discuss their observation of children in naturalistic situations when they are deeply involved in play and identify topics or themes that can be linked to and inspire professional development opportunities. This book provides an antidote to beginning with the curriculum rather than the child and really considers children as learners. Each chapter focuses on young children and schemas, considering a wide age range from babies to children attending statutory schooling._x000D__x000D_Schemas in the Early Years is an accessible and inspiring text and serves as essential reading for educators wanting to think further and in more depth about schemas. Newcomers to schema theory or anyone currently using schema theory to understand children will also find these enquiries useful._x000D__x000D_All royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to Shelter - the housing and homelessness charity._x000D_ _x000D_
