Description
Understanding Children's Learning at Home by Alan Thomas and Harriet Pattison explores an alternative approach to education that differs from traditional schooling. This research-based book examines how families who choose informal learning methods can provide their children with a comparable education. The authors investigate the ways in which children learn informally, acquiring literacy and numeracy skills, developing their own learning agendas, and benefiting from parental involvement. By exploring the experiences of these families, Thomas and Pattison shed light on the effectiveness of this approach to child development. This book offers valuable insights for parents, education practitioners, and researchers seeking to understand the nature of children's learning and challenge traditional assumptions about education theory.
