Key Issues in Early Years Education is the second edition of The
Early Years: A Reader. This essential text for students and
professionals is unique in its range of voices and topics and in
its determination to see the child as central to learning and
development. As in the first edition it not only has chapters
written by key figures in the field of early childhood education
and care but also by students on a range of early childhood
programmes. Notable key figures from the first edition have been
added including Helen Penn, Henrietta Dombey, Hilary Faust and
Charmian Kenner. Rosemary Nalden, who is involved in significant
work with children in South Africa, has added her voice to give us
examples of children acting both as learners and teachers.
This fully revised collection is a comprehensive investigation
into the key issues in early years education which:
- provides a blend of real life examples and theory, drawn from a
diversity of early childhood settings and classes
- is written in an accessible voice
- brings theory to life by linking it with practice
- examines how children explore, express and represent their
worlds.
Many of the original sections have been revised and updated to
take account of changes to the education system over the last
decade. Two new sections in this edition are Children as Thinkers
and Problem-Solvers and Learning: A Second Chance, which looks at
adults learning something new and considers the similarities and
differences that might exist between them and children.
This fascinating and highly readable book will be of interest to
teachers, practitioners, students and anyone concerned with the
care and education of our youngest children.
