Description
This book provides an ideal introduction to the pioneers of educational theory for anyone studying childcare, child development or education. It explores the work of influential thinkers such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Malaguzzi, Montessori, and others, summarising their findings and ideas on how children learn.
With a focus on both the practical application of each theory and its criticisms, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and their influence on current understandings of child development. A glossary is included to help clarify key terms and concepts, and full-colour photographs are used to illustrate the theories and approaches in question.
Perfect for students, educators, and anyone interested in childcare and early childhood care and education, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding the latest theories and approaches to learning and development.
