practice * Fully updated with one new chapter and broader coverage
on transitions * Bronfenbrenner's theories on 'ecological systems'
in human development are one of the most influential models in
early childhood education - and yet many practitioners and
researchers rely on his original work as the only source of
guidance * Draws on practice-based research to identify and animate
key elements of Bronfenbrenner's model and how it impacts on early
educational pedagogy and practice. * In light of the important
research data emerging from the neurosciences, Bronfenbrenner's
bio-ecological model of development provides a rich framework in

Jean Piaget was one of the most significant contributors to our
current understanding of how children think and learn, from birth
through to adolescence. In this comprehensive and accessible new
book, Ann Marie Halpenny and Jan Pettersen capture the key concepts
and principles of Piaget's fascinating work on children's thinking,
and explore how thinking evolves and develops from infancy through
the early years and beyond. Areas covered in Introducing Piaget
include: key milestones and achievements in children's thinking;
understanding the physical world through senses and movement in
infancy; supporting the emergence of symbolic thought and language
in the early years; understanding object permanence; implications
of egocentric thinking in early childhood learning and development.
Throughout the book, the consequences of these developments for
children's social, emotional and intellectual development are
discussed. Updates on Piaget's theory are also outlined with
reference to more recent work on cognitive development in
childhood. Each chapter provides a concise summary of material
presented through a consideration of the implications for practice
in working with children. A glossary of key Piagetian terms is also
included. With a particular focus on how Piaget's principles and
concepts can be applied to children in early childhood, this
exciting new book is an invaluable resource for teachers,
practitioners and students with an interest in learning and
development in the early years.
Capturing Children's Meanings in Early Childhood Research and
Practice draws together contemporary research and established
theories to produce a unique take on the meanings children express
through a range of creative tools. Drawing on Reggio Emilia and the
Mosaic approach, this book provides readers with a range of
strategies for accessing, recording and interpreting young
children's perceptions of and responses to their experiences.
Providing a synthesis of the multiple imaginative ways we can
capture young children's meanings through observations, art, photo
elicitation, mindfulness, music and other creative methods,
Halpenny covers topics such as: Negotiating challenges presented by
researching with children Frameworks for seeing and hearing
children's intentions Accurately documenting and interpreting
research findings Promoting children's meanings and their
performance of them Moving forward with new understandings This
book is an indispensable resource for students of early childhood
education, especially for courses focusing on the lived experiences
of children from early to middle childhood. It is also a useful
reference for those working with young children in educational and
caregiving settings, and for those advocating for young children.
