Description
Play, Learning and the Early Childhood Curriculum by Elizabeth Wood This influential book explores the role of play in learning and development within early childhood education. Reflecting contemporary research and policy discourse, it examines how 'educational play' is constructed and argues for critical engagement with its meanings and intentions. The Third Edition covers a range of topics, including play in education policies, working with parents, social and cultural diversity, and outdoor play. Case studies from practitioners are included to promote reflection on key issues and debates. This book is suitable for students on Childhood Studies courses, Initial Teacher Education programmes, and experienced practitioners on CPD courses. With its accessible approach and focus on critical engagement, this edition of Play, Learning and the Early Childhood Curriculum provides a valuable resource for those working in early childhood education.
