Early Childhood Pedagogies (eBook, ePUB)

Creating Spaces for Young Children to Flourish
Redaktion: Murray, Jane

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Diverse international perspectives on the ways in which young children's learning and care may be supported converge in this book. Traversing the field of early childhood education and care from its established philosophical underpinnings to 21st century research, policies, and practices, the contributions to this volume draw together past and present discourses as a basis for shaping future trajectories.

In spite of a growing international consensus on the strong influence of early childhood experiences on lifetime outcomes, the nineteen chapters reveal contemporary early childhood pedagogy as a collection of spaces characterised by plurality, complexity, and dissonance. These characteristics signal the importance of recognising early childhood pedagogies: multiple models of practice for the many diverse learning and care contexts that have the capacity to value young children as individuals and enable each to flourish now and throughout their lives. Moreover, such characteristics disrupt notions that a single 'optimal' early childhood pedagogy is either possible or desirable.
