Synopsis

This book will support the development of early understandings, skills and attitudes for anyone involved in science education. Drawing on the author’s expertise in primary science and early years education, this book will support students and professionals working with children up to the age of 8.

 

Emergent Science provides the underpinning theory and pedagogy to develop quality emergent science development in young children and babies. Peppered with engaging and practical ideas of how practitioners can provide quality science experiences for the children they work with, the book also includes:

 

• case studies exemplifying good practice and tried-and-tested ideas
• reflective tasks for practitioners at any level, from students and early career professionals through to those now leading practice
• contributions from leading experts in emergent science, as well as developing professionals; and
• tools for developing professional, study skills and research skills to Masters level.

This book is ideal students on both Early Years and primary courses, including PGCE and undergraduate routes; students of Education Studies and Early Childhood Studies; and practitioners working in Early Years and primary settings.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Emergent Science is essential reading for anyone involved in supporting scientific learning and development with young children aged between birth and 8. Drawing on theory, the book helps to develop the essential skills needed to understand and support science in this age range.

 

The book is organised into three parts: development, contexts and pedagogy, exploring the underpinning theory alongside practical ideas to help trainees, teachers and childcare practitioners to create high-quality science experiences for the children they teach.

 

The text includes guidance on developing professional, study and research skills to graduate and postgraduate level, as well as all the information needed to develop scientific skills, attitudes, understanding and language through concrete, social experiences for young children.

 

Features include:

 

• Reflective tasks at three levels of professional development - early career/student, developing career/teacher and later career/leader.

• Case studies exemplify good practice and practical ideas.

• Tools for learning explain how science professionals can develop their professional, study skills and research skills to M level.
