Description
This sociocultural approach to education and learning provides an in-depth understanding of how children make sense of the world and the people in it. Sandra Smidt explores how children express their thoughts, feelings and actively generate meaning through experience and interaction.
The book examines various topics, including socio-historical and global child development, the child as a meaning-maker and active learner, learning in family, culture, group, society, and more. It also covers the implications of neuroscience and how children form their understanding of their environment.
With its engaging perspective and accessible approach, this revised edition is ideal for teachers, lecturers, and students taking courses in early childhood, psychology or sociology. Points for reflection conclude each chapter, making it a valuable resource for those looking to understand the developing child in the 21st century.
