This book examines the question of why 'play' is a happy and
benevolent verb in childhood, yet a subjective label of behaviour
in adulthood. It studies the transformation of the positively
labelled term 'child's play', used to refer to our early years,
into an aberrance or deviation from normal social relationships in
later life, when we speak of playing up or playing around. It
answers the question by proposing play as a theory of learning, an
ideology that circumscribes behaviour, and a way of thinking.
Written by scholars of early childhood through to further and
higher education, the book presents research on play enacted in a
way that arches beyond the specificity of age groups or predictive,
normative patterns. It is international in its focus, moving beyond
insular, inward and parochial educational standards and limitations
in one city, province, state or nation. Finally, it demonstrates
the value of play to educational policy and theories of learning.
