In order to effectively practise as an early childhood educator it
is essential to understand the theories, policies and pedagogy that
shape the discipline. Understanding Early Childhood Education and
Care in Australia provides core foundational knowledge that is
critical for best practice. Part One looks at concepts of childhood
and the development of mass education before examining influential
theories including developmental psychology, sociology, feminisms
and critical theory. Specific approaches are also analysed
including Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Multiple Intelligences and
HighScope. Part Two focuses on the guiding frameworks and policies
in Australia and explores in depth issues affecting Indigenous
children and provisions for recognising diversity and the practice
of inclusion. The final section examines teaching and leadership
and considers curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, building
relationships between staff and families, the care of babies and
infants, the environment in which early childhood education takes
place and the responsibilities and professional development of
teachers. This essential reference will ensure pre-service teachers
develop a sophisticated understanding of how theory underpins
effective practice in early childhood education.
