Since the publication of the first edition of Children as
Philosophers in 2002 there has been an enormous growth of interest
in philosophy with children. This fully revised second edition
suggests ways in which you can introduce philosophical enquiry to
your Personal, Social and Health Education and Citizenship teaching
and across the curriculum. The book demonstrates children's
capacities to engage in sophisticated processes of dialogue and
enquiry about a wide range of issues and underlines the importance
of listening to children's ideas. The author discusses the
pleasures and challenges for adults in managing discussion and
responding to children's claims to knowledge in the philosophical
arena. The author also addresses the well-established Philosophy
for Children movement, developed in the USA and Australia and links
this to the principles of Every Child Matters.This fascinating book
is an invaluable resource for all teachers and trainees seeking a
thoughtful and contextualised introduction to the theory and
practice of philosophical enquiry with children, including:
expanded discussion on children's voice and participation at
school; the theory and practice of dialogical approaches to
teaching and learning; new evidence of the educational impact of
philosophy with children in the classroom; what should inform the
professional choice of resources for teaching philosophy; and,
wider international debates about learning styles, skills and
intelligence. New reports are presented from children, teachers,
from the fields of Gifted and Talented and Special Needs Education
and from international research carried out over the last five
years.
