Evolved through conversations with key early childhood education
experts, Schemas in the Early Years focuses on the value of
'repeated patterns' of action or 'schemas' in young children's
play. It stimulates readers to ask questions of themselves, to
watch children closely, and to create a dialogue with parents and
other educators as well. Contributors to this fascinating book
discuss their observation of children in naturalistic situations
when they are deeply involved in play and identify topics or themes
that can be linked to and inspire professional development
opportunities. This book provides an antidote to beginning with the
curriculum rather than the child and really considers children as
learners. Each chapter focuses on young children and schemas,
considering a wide age range from babies to children attending
statutory schooling. Schemas in the Early Years is an accessible
and inspiring text and serves as essential reading for educators
wanting to think further and in more depth about schemas. Newcomers
to schema theory or anyone currently using schema theory to
understand children will also find these enquiries useful. All
royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to Shelter -
the housing and homelessness charity.
