Offering a sociocultural approach to education and learning, this
fascinating exploration of childhood provides an in-depth
understanding of how children make sense of the world and the
people in it. Examining the ways in which children express their
thoughts, feelings and actively generate meaning through experience
and interaction, this fully revised and updated new edition is
illustrated throughout by extensive case studies and covers a
diverse range of topics, including: socio-historical and global
child development over time and place; the child as meaning-maker
and active learner; learning in the context of family, culture,
group, society; representing and re-representing the world;
understanding roles, identity, race and gender; making sense of
science and technology; the implications of neuroscience. Taking a
clearly articulated and engaging perspective, Sandra Smidt draws
upon multiple sources and ideas to illustrate many of the facets of
the developing child in a contemporary context. She depicts
children as symbol users, role-players, investigators and creative
thinkers, and follows children's progress in forming their
understanding of their environment, asking questions about it, and
expressing it through music, dance, art and constructive play.
Highly accessible, and with points for reflection concluding each
chapter, The Developing Child is essential reading for teachers,
lecturers and students taking courses in early childhood,
psychology or sociology.
