Improving Your Reflective Practice through Stories of Practitioner
Research shows how research has informed and created effective and
valuable reflective practice in early years education, and offers
depth to the arguments for a research-orientated stance to this
vital field of study. This thought-provoking text explores and
documents a variety of small-scale practitioner research projects
from the home and early years settings. The stories are centred
around real life for children, families and workers and offer
practical ideas and support for early years students around the
world. They engage in some of the most current debates in early
childhood education today, such as: how to support children as
individuals how young children learn and how parents support their
learning how to lead and facilitate change in a way that does not
take power away from children, parents or workers how to support
children in taking risks how to support parents in returning to
learning. Throughout this book, the 'Pen Green' attitude to
practitioner research is actively encouraged. This involves
fostering curiosity, being open to the views of others, questioning
the 'taken for granted', making the implicit explicit and
reflecting on one's daily work. Any practitioner research in early
years education and care will draw inspiration from this accessible
and supportive text.
