Nursery World Awards 2012 winner! This stimulating book brings
together contributions from distinguished practitioners, who
demonstrate how they have used educational methods advocated by
Froebel in contemporary settings. Stressing the importance of
outdoor play, they explore the Froebelian principles of: - Play -
Learning through firsthand experience - Parent partnership and
community in early childhood - Practitioners supporting children's
interests and learning - Finger rhymes and action songs - Movement
- The garden and forests - Wooden blockplay - Use of clay, paint,
junk modelling, construction kits The book emphasises how learning
and the application of knowledge become possible through play. It
contrasts the Froebel approach with the methods such as Montessori,
Steiner and recent approaches to play such as post-Modern
'playfulness'. This book is relevant to undergraduate and
postgraduate students of Early Childhood Education, as well as
students following QTS and EYPS, PGCE, CPD and BEd courses. Tina
Bruce CBE is an Honorary Visiting Professor in Early Childhood at
the University of Roehampton.
