This new book provides accessible explanations of the key theories, concepts and approaches that form the foundations of Early Childhood Education. Unpicking terms like attachment, constructivism, and heuristic play and introducing both established and less-known contemporary theorists, it is designed to be an easy and comprehensive guide to early childhood theories and approaches, an often complex topic to unpick and explore fully.
Divided into two parts, the first provides a brief overview of the theorists and approaches, both historical and modern, with explanations, backgrounds, benefits and criticisms where appropriate. It also defines key terms used in theory and research alongside examples of how they work in practice. Part two looks more broadly at how these theories and approaches have been incorporated into settings and present-day policies. The chapters also offer insights from practitioners on how the theories are used successfully and how different countries and cultures adopt and implement particular approaches.
This latest book in the Key Concepts in Early Childhood Series is essential reading for early years practitioners and students who want to support their studies and deepen their understanding, as it makes the pedagogical theories behind the early years curriculum and framework easy to understand and apply.
Chloe Webster is a former practitioner and childminder with a wealth of experience in the sector.
