Play has always been vital to the field of early childhood
education, for teacher educators and early years teachers, as a
pedagogy and way of organizing learning. With diverse perspectives
from scholars around the world, Teacher Education and Play Pedagogy
is a unique text focusing on teacher education for play pedagogy

children's play and consider professional preparation for a play
pedagogy; part 2 provides information on how teachers take on
different roles, act in diverse ways to effectively support
children to develop play skills, to learn and develop. With
contributions from across the early childhood spectrum, researchers
present their empirical work through multiple forms of data with
deep reflections and critical stances towards the play pedagogy
implementation. Teacher Education and Play Pedagogy is a valuable
text for early childhood education undergraduate and graduate
courses, for early childhood education researchers, as well as an
essential reference for professional development programs and
seminars.
