Description
This comprehensive introduction to young children's developing thinking and understanding is essential reading for anyone interested in early years education. Sue Robson explores contemporary theory and research, bringing together up-to-date findings from neuroscience and digital learning.
The book examines the social, emotional, cultural contexts of children's thinking, as well as the central roles of play and language in their developing thought processes. Key chapters cover topics such as cognitive development, conceptual development, visual thinking, and music.
With detailed exploration, transcripts of children's activities, and ideas for further reading and suggested activities, this book is a valuable resource for students, teachers, and early years practitioners looking to understand how young children develop through their thoughts and actions.
