Margaret Carr's seminal work on Learning Stories was first
published by SAGE in 2001, and this widely acclaimed approach to
assessment has since gained a huge international following. In this
new book, the authors outline the philosophy behind Learning
Stories and call on the latest findings from the research projects
they have led with teachers on learning dispositions and learning
power to argue that Learning Stories can construct learner
identities in early childhood settings and schools. By making the
connection between sociocultural approaches to pedagogy and
assessment and narrative inquiry, this book contextualizes learning
stories as a philosophical approach to education, learning and
pedagogy.
Chapters explore how Learning Stories:
"help make connections with families;
"support the inclusion of children and family voices;
"tell us stories about babies;
"allow children to dictate their own stories;
"can be used to revisit children's learning journeys;
"can contribute to teaching and learning wisdom.
This ground-breaking book expands on the concept of Learning
Stories, and includes examples from practice in both New Zealand
and the UK. It outlines the philosophy behind this pedagogical tool
for documenting how learning identities are constructed, and shows
through research evidence why the early years is such a critical
time in the formation of learning dispositions.
Margaret Carr is a Professor of Education at the University of
Waikato, New Zealand. Wendy Lee is Director of the Educational
