Globally, Early Years policies and documents have set out
aspirational outcomes and benefits for children, their families and
the wider society. These policies have emphasised the place of
early childhood provision within the wider global agenda, by
tackling inequality and disadvantage early on in children's lives.
However, these strategies have also raised further debates
regarding the way they have informed and shaped curricula
frameworks and pedagogical approaches. The international team of
contributors to this book argue that if these issues are not
explicitly acknowledged, understood, critiqued and negotiated,
emerging policies and documents may potentially lead to
disadvantaging, marginalising and even pathologising certain
childhoods. Divided into two parts, the volume demonstrates the
dialectic nature of both policy and practice. The chapters in this
wide-ranging text: explore and articulate the philosophical
premises and values that underpin current early childhood policy,
curricula and pedagogies explicitly acknowledge and articulate some
of potential conflicts and challenges they present provide examples
of divergent and creative pedagogical thinking highlight
opportunities for enabling pedagogical cultures and encounters.
Debates on Early Childhood Policies and Practices is aimed at a
wide readership including academics and researchers in early years
education, policy makers, undergraduate and postgraduate students,
practitioners and early childhood professionals.
