Originally published in 1994, the aim of the authors was to provide
a comprehensive introduction to recent advances in research which
had been made in learning and teaching in the early years of
schooling at the time. Emphasis is placed on how subject knowledge
is constructed or acquired, and the organization of teaching to
promote the learner's active construction of meaning through the
integration of new knowledge with existing understanding. The
National Curriculum is founded in subject knowledge, though little
examination appears to have been made of this in terms of how
subject matter is transformed into the content of teaching that
young children can understand. It this remains for the teacher to
develop instruction through the creation of a curriculum content
and sequence which both reflects and advances the structure of
existing forms of representation, problem-solving and knowledge
which the child brings to the school. The whole thrust of the book
challenges the conventional early years ideology with its emphasis
on child-centred, concrete and empirical approaches to learning,
with a view of teaching which is concerned with making sense of
children's understanding, and allowing their active construction of
knowledge and information-processing to develop expertise in
context.
