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 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.
