Description
This book explores how children learn and why we teach them in certain ways. Over 200 years of research by educational theorists and psychologists has shaped our approach to early years education.
From the theory behind different approaches, such as Montessori, Piaget, Dewey, and Donaldson, to the development of High/Scope, Steiner, Reggio Emilia, and New Zealand's early years curriculum, this book summarises the key findings and ideas that influence our teaching methods today.
Discover how these theories have evolved over time and what they can tell us about effective ways to support young children's learning and development.
