Description

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child: A Catalyst for Change in Early Childhood Education This book explores the relationship with time in early childhood, arguing for the value of slow pedagogies and slow knowledge. Alison Clark examines the pressures in Early Childhood Education and Care to speed up, and how these can impact young children and educators. The book offers alternative approaches to enable a different pace and rhythm, promoting a more relaxed and unhurried approach to learning. The book is divided into three parts, each exploring a different aspect of slow pedagogies and practices. From the importance of relationships with time for young children, to the ways in which slow practices can be incorporated into everyday routines and pedagogical documentation. Clark also discusses case studies of slow early childhood education in practice, highlighting the challenges and possibilities of this approach. A key reading for researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers, Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child serves as a catalyst for urgent discussion about the need to slow down in early childhood education and teacher education.
