Shortlisted for the 2013 Nursery World Awards 'This exciting book
will greatly enhance understanding of learning throughout the early
years, and reinforces the importance of responsive professionals
who understand children's schemas. Atherton and Nutbrown have
brought together socio-cultural and cognitive learning theories
with ease, and their metaphors are brilliantly evocative' -Dr Anne
Meade, Consultant
'This book is drawn from a study carried out with rigour and
contains several gems, such as the 'bike and slide exploration';
the idea of adults engaging in 'a dialogue of conceptual
correspondence' with children; and tables outlining 'what the
children might have been thinking'. A great read ' -Dr Cath Arnold,
Pen Green Early Years Centre
'This is an exciting and illuminating account of babies and
toddlers, following their schema fascinations with determination
and competence, as they continually explore and experiment and come
to know their world. This book captivated me. It should be in every
early childhood education setting' -Pam Cubey
This is the first book to focus specifically on Schemas and
children under three. The authors trace the development of schemas
from motor level through to symbolic representation, and show how
to use schema theory to understand young children's learning and
behaviour.
This accessible and student-friendly book includes:
-activities and discussion points
-links to policy and practice
-descriptive observational material
-a look at the ethics of this kind of research
-numerous photographs and illustrations
-suggestions for follow-up reading
The book is aimed at early childhood professionals and
practitioners in ECEC settings, as well as those on initial
training courses, teacher education, Early Years courses, and
higher degrees.
