Synopsis

For courses in play and curriculum.

This is the third edition of the text that takes to heart the adage: Play is children's work. Believing that play is a primary factor in the development of intelligence, personality, competencies, self-awareness, and social awareness, the authors demonstrate how to draw from spontaneous play both the methods and the content of a successful curriculum for children from birth to age 8. The text introduces the theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Mead, and many contemporary researchers; explores the traditional curriculum arenas of early childhood education; and, includes discussion of the role of work, adult models, and authority in children's play.

A propos du livre

Because play is children�??s work, this text emphasizes the value of play to young children�??s development and focuses on how content areas in the curriculum can support play.  In addition, the text has strong coverage of the teacher�??s role in orchestrating and interacting with children during play, and play as a tool for assessment.
