Children's curiosity about their lives and worlds motivates many
interests. Yet, adults often have fixed ideas about what children's
interests are and have been criticised for trivialising children's
interests. This book offers a critical and accessible engagement
with research on children's interests that challenges us to move
beyond surface-level understandings. Children's Interests,
Inquiries and Identities argues that the powerful relationship
between interests and informal learning has been under-recognised
and undervalued. The book proposes new principles for understanding
children's learning. It provides evidence that we need to look
beyond the activities or topics children may currently be selecting
to find out who and what has stimulated their interests, how we
might identify and interpret interests more analytically and
deeply, and how we might respond and engage with these in ways that
take children's interests seriously. Moving beyond play-based
activities, Helen Hedges explains and illustrates a number of ways
by which children's interests can be interpreted and understood, to
get to the heart of what really matters to, and for, children. The
book draws on examples from research with children aged under 5
years, and young adults aged 18-25. It also includes a chapter on
teachers' interests. It presents new and original models for
interests-based curriculum and sociocultural curriculum and
pedagogy for future examination in research and practice. This book
demonstrates that leaving behind long-standing, taken-for-granted
practices that have influenced understandings of curriculum,
pedagogy, learning, and outcomes allows a new perspective of
children's interests to emerge. It will be of interest to
researchers, postgraduate students, and practitioners in the early
years, parents, and other professionals who work with young
children.
