Going Beyond the Theory/Practice Divide in Early Childhood
Education focuses on the use of pedagogical documentation as a tool
for learning and transformation. Based on innovative research, the
author presents new approaches to learning in early childhood
education, shifting attention to the force and impact which
material objects and artefacts can have in learning. Drawing upon
the theories of feminist Karen Barad and philosophers Gille Deleuze
and Felix Guattari, Hillevi Lenz Taguchi discusses examples of how
pens, paper, clay and construction materials can be understood as
active and performative agents, challenging binary divides such as
theory/practice, discourse/matter and mind/body in teaching and
learning. Numerous examples from practice are explored to introduce
an intra-active pedagogy. 'Methodological' strategies for learning
with children in preschools, and in teacher education, are brought
to the fore. For example: the neighbourhood around the preschool
and children's homes is explored, using drawing and
construction-work on the floor; mathematics is investigated in
teacher education, using the body, dance and music to investigate
mathematical relationships and problems; taken-for-granted forms of
academic writing are challenged by different forms of praxis- and
experience-based writings that transgress the theory/practice
divide; children, students and teacher educators use pedagogical
documentation to understand their own learning, and to critique
dominant habits of thinking and doing. Challenging the dominant
understanding of 'inclusion' in educational contexts, and making
'difference' actively visible and positive, this book is rooted in
the experiences, practices and words of teachers, teacher educators
and student teachers. It will appeal to all those involved in early
childhood education and also to those interested in challenging
educational thinking and practices.
