• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood: Pedagogies of Inquiry and Relationships is an introduction for early childhood educators beginning their studies. Reflecting the fact that there is no single correct approach to the challenges of teaching, this book explores teaching through two lenses: teaching as inquiry and teaching as relating. The first part of the book focuses on inquiry, covering early childhood learning environments, learning theories, play pedagogies, approaches to teaching and learning, documentation and assessment, and the policy, curriculum and regulatory requirements in Australia. The second part explores relationships in early childhood contexts and covers topics such as fostering meaningful and respectful relationships with children, and working with families, staff and the wider community. Written by well-respected academics in the field, Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood is a vital resource for those entering the early childhood education and care profession.

Autorenporträt

Wendy Boyd is Associate Professor in Early Childhood Education at Southern Cross University, Australia. Wendy's research has focused on the provision of quality early childhood programs to support the optimal development of all children. This has cut across parents' views of early childhood programs; the effectiveness of the early childhood workforce; and the provision of sustainable practices in early childhood education and care. Prior to entering academia, Wendy was the director of a large early childhood centre for twenty-five years, catering for eighty children aged from six weeks to six years in long day care, and fifteen school-aged children in outside school hours care per day. At each assessment and rating point, the service was consistently assessed as providing high-quality early childhood education and care.
